My second Divers 65 from Oris has proved to be a much more positive experience than my first, and my first was pretty damn positive. For whatever reason I am finding myself appreciating it more and more each day, and… Read More ›

Oris Divers Sixty Five 733 7720 4054MB review (part three)
I have owned the Sixty Five for just over two days now and so far I am feeling positive about it, a feeling that is not uncommon while in the honeymoon period. This, however, feels different because of how much… Read More ›
Oris Divers Sixty Five 733 7720 4054MB (part two: justification (again))

The (Apple) Watch
For all of the nods to traditional watchmaking that Apple tries to add to the Apple Watch, it doesn’t really matter because those nods mean nothing to most people. The crown feels odd to those who are used to doing… Read More ›
Is the Citizen Excaliber (BN0100-51E) the best budget diver available today?
Yes it is, in my humble opinion. The thing with this watch is that it ticks so many boxes at such a low price point that it makes me wonder why the rest cannot do this? Seiko, Bulova, Hamilton, Tissot,… Read More ›
