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 […]
The Nomadic Fior 555: A Stunning GMT Watch Made in Ireland
The WRB is a decade strong, and we’ve reviewed watch brands from various locations around the globe, such as those from Germany, Czech Republic, England, Hong Kong – and many more non-Swiss locations. Today marks what I believe is our first hands-on look at a really stunning watch that’s made entirely in Ireland – Belfast […]
The Aquasphere Freefall: Hanhart’s Foray Into the World of Dive Watches
Not too long ago Hanhart announced the release of their first ever dive watch, the Aquasphere Freefall exclusively in blue with a 42mm case. This was quite the surprise, seeing that most of the watches we’ve ever reviewed from the renowned German watchmaker have been pilot inspired designs like this Primus Nautic and this S-Series […]
Hands-On With the Formex Blue Agate Essence ThirtyNine
Formex is a relatively new, niche brand, within the grand scheme of the watch world. They were founded in 1999 and have focused primarily on the development of extreme sports racing watches, which is right there in their name Formex – which stands for “forme extrème” in French. You see a lot about them online, […]
Raymond Weil X Largo Winch: Hands-On With a Limited Illustration Imbued Watch
For the last few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to go hands-on with the Millesime Tri-compax Chronograph, a very unique and surprising watch from Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil. We don’t hear very much from this brand, with new releases often being drowned out by the likes of trending re-issues from industry heavies such as Longines […]
Hands-On with the Doxa Sub 200T: An Updated Icon
It’s the end of the summer over here in Montreal, and today I had the chance to scour through some of the remaining sample watches I received and hadn’t completed reviews for. In-between a couple family vacations and the rush of maintaining fourth quarter stock levels for WATCHPOD, I managed to let the new Doxa […]
Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series with the Mido Ocean Star Tribute
What better way to test the Mido Ocean Star Tribute than diving off of a 27 meter cliff? Just kidding, I did not jump off a professional diving cliff, nor did any of the athletes wear watches while diving. What I did do though, was watch this years 2024 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series […]
