Lightweight, extremely comfortable, good-looking, and a genuine performance bargain. And a watch with a rather cool backstory too. Citizen is surely known for its accessible watches with superb quality/price ratio, and the brand’s latest creation in the field of dive watches isn’t going to change this, at all. Today, we take the Citizen Promaster Mechanical […]
One thing we always do when judging if we want to cover a Kickstarter brand is to check several criteria. Is it up to par with what we feel like covering? Do the people behind it seem genuinely passionate about watchmaking? Do we see it being around for more than just one or two campaigns? […]
Taking a plunge outside its regular pool of high-brow watches endowed with the traditional spirit of the German School of Watchmaking, Glashütte Original surprised us with the launch of a vintage-inspired dive watch in 2019. Christened the SeaQ, the watch’s ancestor emerged from the state-run Glashütter Uhrenbetrieb (GUB) chapter in the brand’s history and was […]
Originally launched in 1986 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the brand, the EBEL 1911 has long been a flagship model of the brand. After re-launching its Sports Classic collection in 2017 (with its signature wave-shaped bracelet), the brand now brings back the emblematic 1911, with several quartz-powered ladies’ and gents’ watches and an aquatic […]
About a month ago, Tudor dropped a new edition of what is its most hardcore dive watch to date: the Pelagos. First released in 2012, this 42mm titanium watch was designed for action with its 500m WR and helium valve, its ultra-focused design and the use of lightweight, resistant and functional materials. It was followed […]
Far from being just another dive watch, the Yema Superman is, without a doubt, the most emblematic watch of the brand and, by extension, probably the most famous watch ever to be made in France. Since its re-launch a few years ago, in a faithful and vintage-oriented way, the Superman has been released in multiple […]
Delma‘s Cayman dive watches were introduced in 2019 as a reflection of the brand’s 1970s skin divers. They’re stylish and more compact than professional counterparts, although a bit larger than the usual skin diver at 42mm (traditional skin divers are under 40mm in diameter). The collection finds a nice balance between pro and recreational wrist […]
One of the most popular categories of watches in recent years is the revival watch. Bringing back a historic model and paying tribute in a very faithful manner can result in truly cool watches. And it’s not something done only by mainstream manufacturers like Longines or Tissot, but also by smaller, lesser-known manufacturers. And it […]
There’s one thing that can’t be denied about Orient’s watches, it’s the impressive value for the money they offer. We’ve seen it very clearly with the new Bambino 38, which left a very positive impression on the team. Accessible and yet well built, they however sometimes can lack a bit of fun and cool. Well, […]
Watch people are second only to cyclists, and maybe mountain climbers when it comes to nitpicking about tiny units of measurement. Where cyclists might throw a fit if the new version of their favourite derailleur adds two grams to their total weight, watch nerds will lose their minds and declare a new piece unwearable, even […]
