Earlier this year, all I was ever hearing about was sand dials. First, Tudor and Rolex released dune, and beige inspired dials for their GADA watches, the Ranger and the Oyster Perpetual. Both of which I’ve handled and experienced on wist, subsequently adding myself to the wait list for the latter. Then the more niche […]

Hands-On: The Seiko Speedtimer Refresh and Its New Salmon Dial
The Seiko Speedtimer has had a massive surge in popularity in recent years, especially with the now outgoing panda dial model ref. SSC813.

The Tissot Visodate 39mm Nears Affordable Horological Perfection
It’s a been a significant amount of time since we’ve sat down and spent some time with a Tissot for the purpose of a hands-on review. The last one being the PRX Powermatic 80, that happened to be a huge release for the brand, and is now subject to very positive memes when in comparison […]

Today we have a hands-on review that’s going to be focusing on a solar powered watch from Alpina, called the Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre. Admittedly, and it’s not really a secret of mine, but I’m not overly enthusiastic when it comes to quartz watches, or solar powered movements.

Hands-On: The Longines Legend Diver 39, A Modern Icon
Not too long ago I wrote about the newly introduced, and larger, Longines Legend Diver 59 with a 42mm case size.
