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
NWC magazine is a big fan of Royal Enfield and Jawa motorcycles. Great designs that mix vintage and modern technology, affordable too. In the world of watches you see lots of PR from the big Swiss brands about Net Zero, recycled watch parts like ocean waste straps, reclaimed steel used in cases and some use of old school movements like the benchmark ETA 2428 or … Continue reading The Greenest Watches Aren’t Swiss, They’re Indian

The Mido brand is often overlooked but that’s harsh because this Swiss factory has a long history of making top quality watches. Fast forward to the 21st century, and they are trying to offer a mid-market, luxury product line. Little bit below Oris but above Tissot.

More watch brands are now making watches from recycled plastic waste that’s clogging up the oceans and rivers of the world. It’s a good thing naturally, although whether it will placate the eco-zealots who are hoping to ban consumerism full stop – as in, you will own nothing and be happy, remains to be seen. Anyway, what’s the Timex Waterbury plastic waste model range like? … Continue reading Timex Joins The Ocean Waste Watch Movement

So … Continue reading MVMT Offers Recycled Pacific Blue Watch
There is a place in the world of watches for statement pieces, crazy-ass blingy timepieces that scream to the populace, `Hey dudes, I’m so rich I have no idea what to spend all this cash on, so check this out.’ It could be a Roger Dubois Excalibur complete with Knights of Ye Rounde Table.
