Zelos Starfighter Is About To Launch

Just a couple of days until the new Zelos Starfighter becomes available to buy and this watch will appeal to science fiction, astronomy and physics fans alike. With a relatively modest 41mm case it’s not too in-your-face, but the two dial finishes of Aventurine and Meteorite both catch the eye. At night you have lots of lume on the hands, bezel and chapter ring markers. … Continue reading Zelos Starfighter Is About To Launch

Davosa Ternos Ceramic GMT: Serious Rival To Ball or Oris?

Davosa is one of those brands we keep forgetting about until we do a random browse for dive watches on eBay and there you are, at least two or three of them pop up.

Feynman Fjord: ETA Power, Quirky Dial & Kinda Good

Feynman is a Singapore brand keen on making mechanical/auto watches with a twist. The latest model on pre-order is the Fjord, which features a sandwich type dial, with a sort of Hampton Court maze effect. We love that teal green colour too. The second hand looks a bit like a squiggly sperm, but we will try not to dwell on that. Here’s some info from … Continue reading Feynman Fjord: ETA Power, Quirky Dial & Kinda Good

Gevril Launch Lenox Automatics

Gevril has launched the Lenox range, featuring a Swiss automatic movement, which has a kinda odd name; M39D6. Nope, never heard of it, but it looks nice via the see-thru caseback. Could be a modded Sellita/ETA 2824 but we just don’t know. That dished rotor looks very similar to the ETA 2824, which why we take a guess on that venerable base movement being the … Continue reading Gevril Launch Lenox Automatics

Audric Strider: Swiss Quality, Indie Price

No, not a homage to the character from Lord of The Rings, but a very reasonably priced ETA powered watch, that has a slight similarity to the famous AP Royal Oak, from some angles.
