Farer Revives the 300m Endeavour Titanium

The new Endeavour model gets titanium crowns, plus little bronze caps inset into the crowns. Nice detail. The dial is a slightly darker shade of black too, says Farer. It’s a very tool watch kinda diver, plain dial, big numbers, lumed hands. Good value compared to many a Swiss 300m diver we think. Here’s the word; “The case of the Aqua Compressor is crafted from … Continue reading Farer Revives the 300m Endeavour Titanium

Portahl Titanium Peacemaker Is Almost There

We spotted this project on IndieGoGo – it’s also on Kick – and although we loathe the way brands deliberately add capital letters to their name, it’s a good looking titanium watch with a Swiss STP movement. A 40mm case, sapphire crystal, 44 hour reserve and DLC coating all add up nicely to create a moody, dark timepiece. But we have to confess, this watch … Continue reading Portahl Titanium Peacemaker Is Almost There
