As any watch enthusiast can tell you, there are some timepieces that are such a ridiculously good deal that you can’t possibly pass them up. The Seiko SKX line of years past is a prime example, and a rite of passage for many a watch collector. I had the pleasure of owning the SKX013 some […]
Experiencing The Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer On Wrist
Experiencing a watch to its fullest, such as the new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer, requires a clear mind – and enough time to parse minute details like dial layout, precision during assembly, and wearability. While it may not be an A. Lange & Sohne, or a Patek, it brings to the table its own […]
Hands-On: The Now Compact Longines Spirit Pilot Flyback 39.5
Longines’ been making some big moves lately. They’ve changed their CEO 3 times in the last 5 years, quite unusual considering Walter von Kanel had been the head of the brand for 32 years, from 1988 to 2020. Clearly Longines is seeking to make some big internal adjustments, and we could just be starting to […]
Hands-On With Doxa’s Very Limited Sub 250 Ahmed Seddiqi Edition
If you’ve ever been to Dubai, you know that looking into the horizon at dusk during the middle of the summer is like staring into a well oxygenated ember. The Doxa Sub 250 that we have here today, emulates this feeling very well with its deep red dial that constantly shifts from rich burgundy red […]
Hands-On With Montblanc’s Iced Sea Automatic Date Diver
What an exciting week it’s been in the watch world, with this weeks release of the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, and Tudor’s new 36mm Ranger in beige and black dials. Today we’re going to be sidestepping away from that, and into the world of Montblanc, with our hands-on review of their stunning, albeit chunky, […]
The Air-King 126900: Modernization of a Rolex Classic
The Air-King is hands down, one of my favorite watches from Rolex. I’ve owned the ref. 114200 since around 2017, which I bought while visiting Milan in my late 20s. The Air-King has always been a sort of black sheep in the Rolex lineup. It’s not a purely classic Oyster Perpetual, and to me, it’s […]
Hands-On: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch With Lacquered White Dial
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch needs no introduction, it’s been the enthusiasts chronograph of choice for decades. When its competitor, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, first launched back in 1963 it flopped, but when the Speedmaster launched and became Nasa’s watch of choice to wear to the moon it flourished. The Moonwatch has been worn by […]
Yema Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series: A110 Race Car Watch of Choice
Yema’s been producing some really fantastic watches the past couple of years. We’ve been hands on with their Rallygraf Alpine Endurance, Urban Traveller, and Superman Slim Diver – now today we’re taking a look at one of their newest releases, the Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series. This is a stunningly crafted retro inspired chronograph that just […]
Hands-On: The New Unimatic ProDiver Modello Uno U1-PD3-B
Unimatic has a been a relatively illusive brand for us here on the WRB. I’ve reached out to them before, requesting to review and handle various new releases from them without luck. It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I finally made contact with their PR department, and actually this time they had […]
The Mido Ocean Star GMT Rootbeer PVD: A Hands on Review
Mido holds a very interesting position within the watch industry. They’re affordably priced, but not so much so that they cheapen their brand prowess, and they’re also relatively less known than say brands like Tissot or Longines. This gives the prospective buyer a cool value proposition, a brand that’s niche enough to create an allure […]
