TokyoFlash Introduces the Kisai Stencil

February 21st, 2012 No comments

 

I’ll be among the first to admit that many of the TokyoFlash designs have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to reading them, including a few we’ve got upcoming for review (whoops, did I forget the spoiler alert?).  Today, that’s changed with the introduction of their Stencil model.

REVIEW: Techné SparrowHawk II (Part 2)

February 21st, 2012 No comments

 

Yesterday, we started taking a look at the SparrowHawk II from Techné. As mentioned, this is a chrono watch, and that’s where the uniqueness of the model comes in.  While the major functions of the watch are quartz-driven, the chrono function is driven by a portion of the movement that’s actually mechanical.   Read more…

February 19th, 2012 3 comments

 

So, the idea of a perpetual calendar grabbed you, but yesterday’s Seiko was a bit too steeply priced for your taste?  Well, then, let’s try this Citizen on for size, why don’t we?

The Seiko Premier SNP023

Really?  Seikos two days in a row?  Well, this one is actually due a request by a reader.  You asked for us to take a look at some perpetual calendar watches, so I went out searching for some.  This Seiko, the SNP023, is the first one that jumped out at me.

Another Intriguing Seiko Chrono

February 17th, 2012 1 comment

 

I have to say, every time I go rummaging through the Seiko catalog, I’m invariably surprised to find yet another affordable and great looking watch.  This time was no exception, as I stumbled across the SNN221.  Of course, the first thing that grabs you is the crisp and clean style.  White and black abound, with a little bit of orange thrown in for good measure.

REVIEW: TAWATEC E.O.Diver Tactical ICS (Part 1)

Today, we’re going to have a look at a rather compelling watch that features tritium tubes for illumination.  I’ve made no secret of being enamored by watches that feature gaseous tritium light sources (aka GLTS), and I think that the model sent for review is a great entry. Read more…

REVIEW: Irreantum Magellan (Part 1)

February 13th, 2012 1 comment

 

Today, we’re going to have a look at a watch from one of the newer brands on the market, Irreantum.  How new are they?  The company was founded in 2009 by Matt & Courtney Wilson, and took the company name from a South Semitic word that means “many waters.”  As you’ll see, this is rather fitting for watch line.

The Barigo Penta 55

February 12th, 2012 No comments

 

How much functionality do you wish your watch offered you?  Or, for that matter, do you wish that timekeeping was almost a secondary function for your timepiece?  If so, read on – because today’s watch offers quite a unique mix of functionality, but almost at the expense of timekeeping.

The MKII Paradive

February 11th, 2012 1 comment

 

MKII is one of the brands that’s been around for awhile, but we’ve not looked at here on WWR since 2005.  What brought them to my attention (again) this time around was the fact that their Paradive model now offers a lumed sapphire inlay on the bezel – and I just plain like that. The Paradive is  Read more…
