Ocean Crwler is a brand we just discovered at NWC mag and we have to say their line up of watches is impressive, there’s even an 18K gold bezel dive watch for $5000 in there. But regular dive watch fans know that what matters is the movement, the lume, the depth testing and the build quality of the watch. In this respect Ocean Crawler are … Continue reading Ocean Crawler Core Diver V4: Swiss Power, 300m Ability
Geckota has a new military style watch on their site, which is an update of the first generation of the Phalanx Special Operations. Powered by a Swiss ETA 2824 movement, this one looks like decent value to us at £699. Many ETA powered watches are over a grand, depending on the brand name on the dial of course. It comes with a card type multi-tool, … Continue reading Geckota Phalanx Milspec is a Great Value Tool Watch

The dial is quite plain, functional, with big bold numbers set on a white, black or yellow dial plate colour. Plenty of lume all round and it’s a hand-painted dial by the way.
