It’s the first snow day in Montreal, with two feet of fresh powder that’s accumulated overnight, literally, everywhere – and the only thing on my mind is this incredible brown turtle shell motif dial on the King Seiko SPB365. This is a limited release of 1200 pieces from Seiko, to celebrate their 110th year of […]
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 […]
Zenith Defy Revival A3648: Hands-On With a Cool Retro Watch
Zenith is one of our favorite brands, they strike a perfect balance between excellent in-house watchmaking and striking standout designs – without being ridiculously expensive. The Defy Revival A3648 we have here is a re-issue dive watch from 1969, plucked right out of the Zenith history book. It was a watch known, for its time, […]
Swan & Edgar Horizon Review: Steeped in British Coastal History
There’s few things that get us more excited than the combination of a microbrand and authentic British history, cue the new Swan & Edgar Horizon – a watch that’s been assembled in Maidenhead UK by well known Horologium and utilizing a Japanese Miyota 9015 movement. As someone who’s lived in London for over 5 years […]
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 […]
Anicorn Cassini Nemesis: A Middle of the Summer Review
Well, when I made this article’s title it was the middle of the summer, but as you know, with two kids and time running short the creation of this review was postponed a couple weeks. So perhaps now, we’ve crossed the rubicon into what many would consider the “beginning of the end of the summer”. […]
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 […]
Flash From the Past: The Stowa Flieger Classic Pilot Chrono
Stowa has always held a special place within our repertoire of hands-on watch reviews. They were one of the very first brands that we reviewed shorty after our founding in 2015. We were lucky enough to receive samples from them back in 2018, with our review of the Stowa Partitio and then subsequently in 2019 […]
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 […]
