Islander Watch produced 154 of the BDL77 to support the Laviolette Foundataion who has awarded over 1,160 scholarships. Your entire purchase will be donated.
I distinctly remember saying "I can't imagine anyone makes a fake of these" seconds before hitting the Buy It Now button on eBay...
Farr + Swit is a longtime friend of StrapHabit. When the brand sent a rendering of its new Mixtape watch, I immediately asked if I could review it.
I had been following seconde/seconde/ for a while and had wanted to try one of its projects. The Loser was a more affordable collab, and I thought it would look great on a TQ18 Q Timex strap. I also discovered an unexpected movement upgrade!
New collectors or those on a budget often set hard limits on what they can spend on a watch, and that number is often $500. Despite recent cost increases, there are still a lot of great watches that can be bought for (often significantly) less than that amount.
I bought the new Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Desert and put together a hands-on photo comparison with the other versions with tan cases, Jupiter and Saturn.
Seiko produces lots of iconic dive watches, but the most distinctive is the Tuna. There is now midsize Solar Tuna. I purchased the green SUT421 as a gift.
Sometimes you seek out a watch, and sometimes a watch finds you. When a friend offered me a sold out Casio Edifice Honda Type R Edition, it was meant to be. My daily driver is the latest generation Honda Civic Type-R, the FL5, and now I have the watch to go with it.
Moonswatches were all simple color changes until Swatch x Omega released the Mission to Moonphase Full Moon Snoopy with a new module in all white.
Recently Swatch released three new variants under the Earth planet. I purchased this Desert at Swatch in Times Square to provided a hands-on review.
