I posted this video a couple weeks ago, but had forgotten to announce it here. So Im linking it now. This is to supplement the Wilson Watch Works Navigator Watch Review that I wrote previously. I also believe that its called an Observer Dial not a Navigator dial, and since Wilson Watch Works doesnt name their watches, I had to kind of make up a Replica Omega 2909.50.38 Planet Ocean Watch name. Nevertheless, it is a very solid, well-made watch using great materials.I hope you enjoy the video if you havent already:
Next up in my search for the ultimate sub-$500 watch is a Wilson Watch Works Navi, which I briefly talked about the other day.The Wilson Watch Works (WWW) stuff is not very known, especially outside of ebay, but very impressive. I stumbled upon Wilson Watch Works when I was browsing through ebay at various watches using the Replica Omega 2803.33.37 Aqua Terra Automatic Watch Unitas 64976498 movements. These are hand made peices from the US, made from German crafted cases and dials, with Swiss luminova. Front crystals are all Sapphire, double AR coated, with rear exhibition crystal made from K1 Mineral.
The model I picked up is the Navigator, or thats what I call it at least because of the navigator dial, as Chris at WWW does not have model names yet. Dials and cases are totally sterile. This one is 42mm, and bead blasted stainless steel. They are all available with any combination of cases, dials or movements. You can choose to have a seagull movement installed if you prefer, and will save you $150 or so.As you can see, the semi-gloss black Replica Omega 4574.31 De Ville Prestige Watch navigator dial is very nicely crafted, with expertly applied Swiss luminova on the all the outer markers and outer arabics. Hour and minute hands are also both illuimated.I put mine on a German Pilot strap with rivets in a dark chocolate brown, and I think it looks fanastic.
