Watch It All About

I love affordable watches. I love divers. And I love supporting British brands - so when I get to review a watch that ticks all those boxes, I’m very happy indeed. How about when the watch in question is a nod to an epic vintage Seiko? MIND. BLOWN.

What we have here is a well thought-out brand and model, aiming towards a go-anywhere, do-anything ethos. But does it deliver? Especially considering the RRP is a very reasonable £195? Let’s check it out.
