Phantom Nox

A velvet-black dial with the kind of presence that earns a second look.

Baltic

Aquascaphe Dual Crown

Compressor styling, excellent proportions and far more personality than the spec sheet suggests.

BVOR Vision review

BVOR

Bold cushion-case design, three distinctive finishes and a horizontally textured dial. A British microbrand with an identity of its own.

Compact, rugged and unmistakably purposeful. A field watch built to be used, not babied.

Newmark

Watersprite

Four vibrant colours, sculpted indices and 36mm of absolutely no subtlety.

Nostas Audace watch review

Nostas

Audace

Waffle dial, compact proportions and one seriously good integrated bracelet. The Nostas Audace looks spectacular, but living with it reveals a few compromises beneath the surface.

Nuncier Origen green dial watch review

Nuncier

Origen

Distinctive Arabic numerals, integrated steel and a textured green dial. A sports watch with an identity entirely its own.
