William Wood Watches is a relative newcomer, founded in 2016 by the grandson of William Wood, a firefighter of over 25 years with the British Fire Service. It’s one thing to have a themed collection, but something else to devote an entire portfolio to a particular subject. Firefighting is not only a visible theme in […]
Tissot started out with a 40mm size PRX, and it was good. Then came more colour variants, and they were good. After that came luxurious fluted gold bezels, and they were pricey but still good. This was followed by a PRX Chronograph, which was very good! But then… nothing? Ever since Tissot launched the incredible […]
The Seiko 5 Sports range is probably one of the most eclectic collections by the Japanese manufacturer. Using the beloved platform of the 5 Sports, Seiko regularly plays around with colours and designs to provide an immensely broad spectrum of low-budget yet solid and fun diving watches.

Lightweight, extremely comfortable, good-looking, and a genuine performance bargain. And a watch with a rather cool backstory too.

Grab a cocktail for your wrist as the watches represent Tokyo’s STAR BAR in Ginza, where innovative cocktails are created by award-winning owner and head bartender, Hisashi Kishi. The Presage […]
Since its resurrection a few years ago – we’ve listed the brand in our recent buying guide on recently-revived historic brands – Nivada Grenchen has been hard at work, providing nicely designed and well-priced watches with a retro feel. It all started with the revamped Chronomaster, followed by funky models such as the “Pac-Man” Depthmaster […]
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 […]

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 […]
