Dropped into Time+Tide to see the Studio Underd0g Mantis and somehow found myself with what was probably the last one available in Australia.

Of course I grabbed it. 💚

Unboxing the Studio Underd0g Mantis. 💚

A dial that makes absolutely no attempt to be subtle. 😅
Bright, weird and ridiculously fun.

Wound, set, and straight into the rotation.

Wearing the Seiko SBDC141 today on the OEM bracelet.

It’s the chunkiest watch in my collection. I love smaller watches these days, but somehow this is still an absolute delight to wear.

Sometimes size and specs on paper don’t tell the whole story.

Old watch. New strap.

The Seiko Style 60s is one of my favourites and one that will never leave the collection.

Trying it today on this new Saffiano leather strap as part of testing strap samples for our upcoming Sidus Austris Watches Outrider.

So far, it’s proven to be comfortable on the wrist and looks pretty good too. But the real test is how it holds up over time, how it breaks in, develops with wear, handles sweat and moisture, and how the leather, stitching and edges hold up with regular use.

So I’ll be wearing this one quite a bit over the next few months. Let’s see how it goes.

Designed in collaboration with Brent Robillard and limited to just 25 pieces.

I’ve liked the whole Rangefinder series since I first saw them. I’m a sucker for vintage styling and proportions, so these were right up my alley. The Iron Tide was the one that spoke to me most though. That pop of orange on the minute hand against the blue dial, paired with the steel-coloured bezel, did it for me.

At 38mm, it wears like a charm on my 6.5" wrist. The oversized signed crown is a delight, and the fully brushed 5-link bracelet is really comfortable on the wrist.

Very happy to have managed to grab one of the 25. 😊

Galo Super 200 Dark Edition

There’s a lot going on here, but somehow it all works. The textured dial, 3-6-9-12 layout, vintage-toned lume and that fully lumed bezel + lumed crown give it plenty of character.

And then the lights go out… 🔦 That lume is seriously cool. 👌

Every now and then I wonder if there's anything I'd change about the Black Bay 54.

Then I put it on... and the answer is usually no 😄

Coffee, breakfast and the Himalayan Project.

Still in the honeymoon phase with this one. The lightweight titanium case and that dial make it hard to take off.

The more time I spend with the Miyako, the more it grows on me.

That textured dial, oversized numerals and vintage-inspired bezel somehow come together without feeling overdone.

Easily one of the best values in the microbrand world.
