Tribus Watches Closed?
Seiko Kinetic Diver
Recent Comments
I've been looking for a traditional GMT for some time, so this fills a gap. I have dual time Astron and a Tribus watch that has the 2nd time on a separate dial but that blue GMT hand just pops.
" time legibility isn't the best.." that's the understatement of the year :D I can't simply look down and see the time easily and the stopwatch is worthless if you want to time for more than 60 seconds as it's difficult to work out the minutes scale.
But they are amazing watches, the design and how the watch feels on your wrist. It's the least legible watch I own and it gets more wrist time than most other watches.
I mentioned elsewhere that I purchased one at the end of last year, and I really like the watch, GMT with a power reserve indicator. I also don't think they wear particularly large, I have a 7in wrist and it sits really well.
The Seiko kinetic divers are a great range, still going strong even though Seiko have, seemingly, abandoned the movement. Quartz precision with a 6 month reserve.
I bought the bright yellow TRI-03, it's a lovely watch with manual wind, COSC certified, dual time and really well made.
It would be great if they had some more designs in the pipeline.
On the whole I think they are maybe a little overpriced (normally), knock off a couple of 100, but... how much is the COSC certification worth? Some of the Farer and Christopher Ward watches are in a similar price range and don't have COSC.
Cheap mechanical movements in a watch rather than a good quartz one, just so the marketing material can pander to people looking for an automatic watch.
