The story Longines Avigation BigEye Titanium begins in the 1930s. At some point in that decade, the original BigEye was made, but nobody knows exactly when or for what purpose. Its existence only came to light recently, when a collector contacted Longines for information on a 1930s Longines watch. Lo and behold, Longines had no […]
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf World Time Automatic Limited Edition Watch Review
Some types of watch are instantly identifiable. Dive watches are a good example; with their rotating bezels and high-contrast dials, they’re purpose-built for underwater use. Another good example is a world time watch. These watches can come with any number of bells and whistles, but they all have two things in common: a bezel with […]
Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of The Moon Ref. 311.93.44.51.99.001 Review
The Speedmaster, one of the most well known and sought after watches by Swiss watchmaker Omega. Omega has created a slew of Speedmaster variations, one being the ultra popular Moonwatch, but what’s out there for the discerning enthusiast who wishes to differentiate himself from the crowd with something a little bit different?

Glycine Airman DC-4 Ref. GL0071 Review
The Mysterious Case of the Missing Airman. Well that sounds like the the title of a great “who done it” from the 50’s. Which just so happens to be the decade the Glyicine Airman was born. For those of you that are scratching your heads wondering about a child pilot and trying to locate Glycine […]
Best Homage to the Rolex Explorer 1: The Smiths Everest
The Smiths Everest’s origin is a long and twisted tale. Most homage watches are content to pay homage to a single watch, but the Smiths Everest pays double tribute. Many watch collectors are already familiar with the Rolex Explorer 1, which became famous when Sir Edmund Hillary wore one during his summiting of Mount Everest […]
Rolex GMT Master II Ref. 16710 Review
We haven’t delved too much into the world of vintage watches on the WRB YouTube channel, and while this Rolex GMT Master II ref. 16710 isn’t exactly a very old vintage – I thought it would be an interesting piece to look at. The second I picked it up I had instant comparisons to the […]
RZE Valour Titanium Meca-Quartz Chronograph Watch Review
When most people think of a modern watch, they think of one of two things. The first is the kind of watch I usually review: luxury mechanical watches, designed first and foremost for enthusiast or those who enjoy the finer things in life. The second is a simple timepiece built for accuracy; think of the […]
Undone X Staple Pigeon Yin-Yang Watch Review
Hong Kong-based watch manufacturer Undone is known for their collaborations with other companies. Last month, I wrote about their collaboration with Simple Union, a leatherworker headquartered in Japan. That watch, Undone x Simple Union Urushi, has become a major success. In fact, its companion, the limited-edition Sometsuke, is already sold out. Today, I’ll be looking at […]
WT Author No 1953 White Automatic Watch Review
WT Author is a relatively new watchmaker, based in Shropshire, UK. If you’ve never heard of them, it’s either because they’re so new, or because they make so few watches. These aren’t just any watches. They’re all made by a two-man team: designer Sam Holland, and watchmaker Jon Shakespeare, and most of them are limited […]
DWISS M3 Automatic Watch Review
DWISS is a younger watch company, first founded in 2011. But it actually goes back a bit further. The founder, Rafael Simoes Miranda, won a number of design awards for his earlier work in Italy. The next year, in 2012, DWISS would win its first International Design Award. They’ve since won 10 more, including the […]
