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, […]
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, […]
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 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 […]
Detrash Watches: Hands-On with a Recycled Watch you Probably Want
Welcome to 2025 guys! We ended 2024 by reviewing the highly sought after Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi, but we’re starting this new year by going hands on with a rather peculiar pick. Today we have with us the Detrash Midnight Sky, a watch made with 80% recycled materials – but it doesn’t have a resin […]
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 […]
Decompressing with the Updated 1961 Rainbow Diver from Mido
Mido has great timing with the release of their limited or special edition runs of the 1961 Decompression Timer. They always seem to time it for the dead center of summer, this time of course being more towards the end but still pretty close. We reviewed their previous launch of the 1961 in the summer […]
Hands-On: Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1965 Ref. SJE099
Seiko never ceases to amaze me, and there’s good reason why they’ve built up such a substantial following of watch enthusiast, and even some who enjoy solely collecting Seiko. Today I have the pleasure of going hands-on with their Marinemaster 1965 Ref. SJE099 which is the lovely light blue dial and dark navy blue bezel […]
