In a catalogue composed mainly of ultra-large, boldly shaped and solar-powered dive watches, the Citizen Promaster Mechanical Diver 200m, also known as the Fujitsubo, came as a refreshing surprise.

It wasn’t that long ago that Baltic, a boutique watch brand established in France and created by Etienne Malec, launched its first collection. Since 2017 and the inaugural Kickstarter campaign, the brand has grown quite a bit (to say the least) and now offers a solid collection of vintage-inspired watches. But the watches that started […]
There’s something genuinely desirable in a solid gold watch… Something cool, something that somehow says that you made it. But it’s also rather frustrating when you see the prices.

The DS Action range is offered by Certina as “maritime timepieces” to be “your companion when exploring underwater depths“. However, the collection comprises many references that lack the looks commonly associated with diver’s watches, this new DS Action Day-Date included.

In recent years, Yema has undergone an impressive change and has developed a large collection of accessible sports watches.

Themed watches are nothing new and some make more sense than others, but the latest NASA-themed watch from Awake Concept finds a perfect balance without going overboard. This isn’t the first NASA piece from the young French watchmaker as we saw a “Mission to Earth” watch last year. In fact, the Mission to Earth series […]
When Seiko recently introduced a re-edition of the very first Seiko 5 Sports from 1968, I got quite excited, to be honest. What I was looking at, on paper until then at least, was a faithful recreation of an iconic watch. The Seiko 5 Sports has been, and still is a very important collection to […]
To say that the Tissot PRX is a success would be an understatement. It is a massive hit, and for obvious reasons. Besides the overall very decent quality of the watch, combined with an accessible price, it’s mostly its style that made it so popular… The flair of the 1970s, the luxury sports watch look, […]
Marnaut, an independent micro-brand founded by Mario Jutronic in 2018, originates from the Mediterranian country of Croatia. The brand first made its mark with the Dark Surge 300 Dive series, known for its unique dials inspired by a sea urchin, and an impressive 300-meter water resistance rating. After five years of loyal service, Marnaut now […]
