INTRODUCING THE CHRISTOPHER WARD C63 SEALANDER COLLECTION There are three watches in the lineup, and the first of these – in order of pricing – is the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic. This is a 39mm stainless steel watch housing a Sellita SW200 automatic movement, and represents one of the most affordable automatics that the brand has produced, starting at £595.This is a clean, classy

look.

INTRODUCING THE TIMEX Q 1978 As should surprise no one, the Timex Q 1978 is a design that would feel right at home in, where else, 1978. For me, that’s reflected in the shape of the case, as well as it’s diameter spec – 37mm.

HANDS-ON WITH THE NEW SEIKO LAND TORTOISE As listeners of The HourTime Show are no doubt aware, I’m a big fan of the Turtle-style case but, alas, I have an annoyingly small wrist at 6.5 inches. Reading the specs of this thing (42.4mm wide and 45.2mm lug to lug) I figured it was just about perfect for me: slightly bigger than a Baby Turtle (42.3mm wide and 43mm lug to lug), slightly smaller than the Willard reissues (42.7mm wide and AQUASTAR DEEPSTAR, A REISSUE CHRONOGRAPH WITH DEEP FEELSSEE MORE ON WRISTWATCHREVIEW.COM INTRODUCING THE GRAND SEIKO “WHITE BIRCH” Rather than go with a super-stark white-and-black pattern in the dial, the Grand Seiko “White Birch” does it via a subtle texturing, something that looks akin to a sort of angular hammered finish. INTRODUCING THE BALL ENGINEER III LEGEND II Speaking of tritium – the Ball Engineer III Legend II looks like they’re using the wider tubes that the brand is showing more. That said, when you get to the dark shots, it seems more like the standard narrow tubes (particularly if you compare it to, say, the Nightrain which has both styles). This is further reinforced by the hands, which have a similar width of tube, and we’ve not seen THE VAER D5 DIVER BRINGS A LOT TO THE TABLE The Vaer D5 Arctic. Image Credit: Nicholas De Leon. We frequently discuss “value” and what makes one watch “worth” more than another here at WristWatchReview and on our podcast The HourTime Show.

Parmigiani Fleurier is well known for unique complications – the extending and retracting hands on the Ovale being one example. In 2004 to celebrate their partnership with Bugatti, Parmigiani released the Bugatti Collection.

WRIST WATCH REVIEW

The Nooka Zoo is like the Nooka Zot???s sensible older brother. Sure, this watch likes to rebel, but it stays within the bounds of reason and propriety and offers a perfect role-model for other small-run, classic watches to strive towards emulating. HANDS-ON WITH THE NEW SEIKO LAND TORTOISE The Land Tortoise is powered by the 4R35, which has a roughly 41 hour power reserve and is rated at +45 / -35 seconds per day. The date is at the 4:30, which is in line with other new Seikos we’ve seen this year and is a change I’m fully on board with. The dial, at LIGHTING UP THE NIGHT WITH THE ISOBRITE AFTERBURNER 1. Taking inspiration of the incredible power of the twin afterburners of the F-22 Raptor that light up the night sky, Isobrite has released the Isobrite Afterburner, a line of limited edition T100 Tritium watches that will also light up the night. They were kind enough to send me a couple versions of the Isobrite Afterburner and I like what

I see.

INTRODUCING THE CHRISTOPHER WARD C63 SEALANDER COLLECTION There are three watches in the lineup, and the first of these – in order of pricing – is the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic. This is a 39mm stainless steel watch housing a Sellita SW200 automatic movement, and represents one of the most affordable automatics that the brand has produced, starting at £595.This is a clean, classy

look.

INTRODUCING THE TIMEX Q 1978 Well, you’ll find the Timex Q 1978 over on the Timex site for just $179 on a leather strap. Comes in black, but I could easily see a brown – or even more colorful option – slipping into those 20mm lugs given the overall coloration of the watch. While 1978 is a lot longer ago than it seems it should have been, Timex is helping us take

that

IN REVIEW: AGELOCER MOONPHASE A bit of a shame the moonphase is on a 31-day cycle, but balanced against the overall packaging and the fact you’ve got an 80-hour power reserve, there’s a very lot to like with the Agelocer Moonphase. As I mentioned at the outset, there campaign is funded, and it’s still going until April 29th. There’s still an earlybird slot

at $599

ROLEX 2021 EXPLORER 1 April 7, 2021. 158. 2. Rolex announced their 2021 models online this year, instead of at an event like Baselworld. The big news is, the Rolex Explorer 1, which has been 39mm since about 2005, is now available again in its original 36mm size. The Explorer has been around a long time, in many incarnations. When it updated to 39mm for

IN REVIEW: HAMILTON AMERICAN CLASSIC INTRA-MATIC AUTO Fit for the office, and formal affairs. Here, the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto – particularly in the model we reviewed – shines. It’s a clean and classic three-hander with well-polished hands and indices, as well as luminous bits on the hands and indices.

On one hand, the monochromatic look might feel plain, but I’ve a feeling that this – along with those polished indices – dial is going to ANOTHER MILITARY EDITION The watch overall presents as relatively stealthy, given the finish on the case and bezel, and the forged carbon used for the dial (view it as waves or camo, your choice).

Until we were contacted by Mark Carson (and I saw Ariel’s video review here), I had not heard of the Hawaii-based company Individual Design – and I’m guessing that’s the same for many of you. Well, let’s rectify this with a look at some of the models from the Ka La

WRIST WATCH REVIEW

The Ressence Type 3 watch was shown last year as BaselWorld and received a lot of press and even the Revelation Watch Prize at last tear”s Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. It was one sexy watch, really unlike anything else on the market. The closest looking product on the market would be a smart watch with e-ink, but the Ressence is pure mechanical watchmaking beauty.

Benarus is a brand I became familiar with early on in my career here at WWR, and we’ve covered a number of their pieces. I was almost two years ago that I first took a look at their Sea Snake diver (parts one, two) and today, we’re going to revisit the watch, as they’ve recently released a new version of the piece. As the v1 is one of my personal watches, we’re also able to bring you

WRIST WATCH REVIEW

The past few days, I’ve focused in on some rather higher end watches. Today, I want to dive down to the other end of the market. While today’s reviewed watch is definitely affordable, it’s all but priceless in the eyes of at least one person.
