Heimdallr Pelagos Homage is Smooth As You Like

Ali Express fave Heimdallr keep making great looking homage watches, especially the dive variety. The latest Tactical Frog FX features a titanium case, 200m resistance, sapphire crystal and a Seiko NH35 auto movement inside. Details like the C3 lume, screwdown crown and ceramic bezel put this one a cut above the usual China based homage watches in our humble opinion. As you might expect this … Continue reading Heimdallr Pelagos Homage is Smooth As You Like

Is The Mid-Market Watch Making a Comeback?

The latest global sales stats were released late July by the Swiss watch industry and sales of watches retailing at 500-3000CHF (approx £430-£2500) were up by 6%.

We are still liking the … Continue reading Tudor Black Bay Chrono Rocks The 70s With a Gold Dial

The hands got sharper edges, the bezels got cleaner and the power reserves reached repsectable levels. This new `Root Beer’ Black Bay GMT is spot-on for the modern market and frankly, makes the Watches & Wonders efforts from Rolex … Continue reading Tudor Just Made Rolex Look Asleep at The Wheel
