Today, I have the pleasure of examining RLG’s prestigious model, the Odyssea Diver. Throughout my experience, I’ve never found a green timepiece that truly captivated me, hence my anticipation for a different hue. Just a little over a week later, a carefully packaged parcel from RLG Watches arrived at my doorstep. Excitement surged as I eagerly unboxed the contents, only to discover that they had indeed sent me the green variant. Disappointing, to say the least. Nevertheless, I...

Tsao Baltimore made their entry into the market several years back, introducing their Founder’s Edition dress watch. However, personally, I found it to be a bit bulky. Over time, they have released several impressive designs, all drawing inspiration from their hometown or notable landmarks there. While some of their creations may seem familiar, their latest model, the Legacy, marks a significant milestone in their journey since the Constellation Chronograph—a mecaquartz chronograph paying homage to the renowned Baltimore boat.
Mido, a brand under the Swatch Group, may not enjoy the same level of recognition as some of its counterparts, especially in the United States.

The Ocean Star Captain V, succeeding the Captain IV, takes the spotlight in this regard. Mido offers both steel and titanium models of the Ocean Star...

This company, resembling the distinguished aviator’s spirit, is soaring to new heights....
Initial Impressions: This timepiece unabashedly embodies the essence of a true diver’s watch. If you possess even a moderate familiarity with Seiko’s esteemed SKX line of dive watches (and to be transparent, I have yet to personally own one), the Islander will feel strikingly familiar. Its purpose is to fill the void left by the now-discontinued SKX, a void that the new Seiko 5 models, although commendable, failed to entirely satisfy for devoted SKX enthusiasts. However, the Islander...
