This review is a tad overdue, but today we are checking out the updated version of the Phoibos Sea Nymph. One of the few divers marketed toward women. As such, it's a little smaller and has its own distinct style.

Seiko Glacier Marine Master Reduced Preview New MM200 [ MACRO TIME ]
Seiko SBDC167 / SPB299: https://ebay.us/YZ8wDu
These are just out, but fairly hard to find.
This new Save The Ocean Seiko Marine Master Reduced (new 40mm mm200 ) arrived earlier this week. It's got an amazing dial. I'm still a few weeks out from a full review, but I thought I'd share some of the macro shots I got of it.

This is an interesting one. A couple years ago Batavi made one of the most colorful GMTs I've seen with their Kosmopoliet. Now they are back with a GMT Worldtimer combo. Although instead of the 4th GMT hand, they have used a rotating disc.

This is the new SN036-G from San Martin. A diver that's sort of a combo between a Seamaster Diver and an Aqua Terra. It's also one of the first watches from San Martin that offers an option for a Miyota 8315 as well as the older 8215. Making it an interesting option on the platform.
It also has something I haven't seen or talked about in years... so get ready to have a flashback.

This is the Wise Adamascus AD820A. Perhaps the Best microbrand diver I've seen... ever. Amazing dial, Outstanding Lume, and a case made with 904L grade Steel. Which of course is polished with a capital P. It's a fantastic dressy diver, and one you should know about.

This has got to be one of the most unusual watches I've seen on Aliexpress. As it's a new take on the older Direct Read Watches from the 60s. Although here it's powered by a standard PT5000 movement, then a specialized jumping hour movement of the past. It's the Omnion Lance / OM01 from Proxima.

The Original Resolute from RZE came out in 2020. It was a fantastic tool watch that unfortunately has now been discontinued. Although the good news is that there is a new, completely refreshed version available. So let's check out the 2022 RZE Resolute and see if this refresh is an improvement to a great titanium field watch.
In Full disclosure, the V1 was given to the channel after its review back in 2020. Although as far as I know, I'm not getting anything to keep from this generation. I'm simply looking at it, just to look at it.

Thanks Again to Zelos for gifting this watch to the channel.

Today we are taking a look at the long-awaited Zelos Comet. A watch that doesn't really fit into any specific category. It's an Aviation inspired paired with a dress watch style case and mechanical movement. It's kind of a cross between the previous Nova and Starfighter from Zelos.

Today we are doing things a little differently. We are looking at the best San Martin I've seen yet. The SN007-G-JS... Also known as the 62 Mas Chronograph. A semi-original design that takes its cues from the Seiko 62mas, but incorporates that into an affordable mechanical chronograph. All thanks to the Seagull ST1901 movement.

Today we are checking the upcoming Axios Tribune. Launching on Kickstarter sometime in May. This is a pretty interesting watch, and a departure from their typical tool watches. This 38mm dress watch combines an aqua terra style case with a sector dial. It's a watch that resonates with the art deco style of the 1940s, but is powered by a modern Miyota 9015.

Today we are checking out the Helm Miyako. The first true new release from Helm in 3 years. It's a fantastic fifty fathoms-inspired diver powered by a Miyota 9015. Creating one of the best micro brand divers for under $400. It's extremely solid, well made, and gorgeous to look at. But just as important, it's also very capable. As it's one of the few Microbrand divers with a Diver's 200m rating.

Today we are taking a long-overdue look at the Seiko SRPE45J1. Also known as the Mojito. The Mojito, along with its colorway cousins, are outliers in the Seiko Cocktail Time Lineup. As they not only have a completely different dial texture but are also smaller at 38mm.
Although smaller, they are just as memorizing as the original cocktail time watches. With the mojito, in particular, being one of the most photogenic watches I've ever photographed. Everything on this dial comes through brilliantly.

The Perfect Microbrand Diver? Zelos Spearfish Review Burnt Orange

It's been quite a while since I last looked at anything from Zelos, but it was well worth the wait. This is the new Zelos Spearfish, launching on Feb 15th. It's an evolution from the standard Swordfish, as well as the brand.
Refinements have been made on every aspect of the watch, including the use of a brand new Swiss-made movement, the G100 by La Joux Perret ( LJP ). Making the Spearfish one of the first watches to ever utilize it. It's a drop-in replacement for an eta 2824, but has both a high beat 28,800 bph rate, and an extended 68 hr power reserve. This combination of beauty and brains needs to be seen.
