The Seiko 11-4000 is a watch reference that I only came across recently. It is a reference that I am surprised to see so little coverage on. As soon as I saw this reference, I knew it was a fun piece to have in my collection.  A little bit about the watch before I dive into the review - it is a manual wind from (I believe) the 1970s and it has a platinum plated upper case.

I strongly believe that at least one Casio belongs in every decently sized watch collection. Casio watches are generally very fun and inexpensive watches that are perfect to wear for a lot of outdoor activities.

When I was on the quest to add a Casio to my collection, unsurprisingly, as a vintage nut, I found myself scouring through Casio's past releases. What eventually caught my eye was the PRO TREK line and, among them, this reference PRT-1400 from 1999 with the gorgeous asymmetrical shape.

Move over Tissot PRX - the godfather is here and he is still looking exceptional. When I reviewed my Seiko 3883-7000 and called it my favourite watch, this Omega reference 166.0196 watch is not too far behind that watch in terms of where it sits in my collection. This watch was made in the 1970s and it has an automatic winding Omega calibre reference 1022, and an integrated bracelet design.

The Seiko reference 2220-3570 is a manual wind watch with a 885 solid silver alloy upper case. Despite being on my radar for quite a while and also being relatively affordable, this watch is quite uncommon. Accordingly, it took me some time to find a decent example of this watch.

Today, I am reviewing my Ulysse Nardin manual wind watch in 14 karat solid yellow gold with a small seconds hand.

By now, you are probably aware that I am a fan of vintage Seiko and, keeping in line with that, for review today is my Seiko 6245-9000. Seiko introduced this reference in around 1965 as its upper range automatic watch and I believe it must have been well received as it was essentially rebranded in around 1967 as Grand Seiko's first automatic watch.

The Seiko reference 6810-0010 (and its very similar sibling, the reference 6810-0011) holds a very special place in my collection. It was one of my true grail watches that I spent considerable time hunting for. Further, despite already owning one reference 6810-0010 and one reference 6810-0011, it is the only watch that I find myself wanting to purchase more, better, examples whenever they come to market.

The Seiko reference 3883-7000 'Quartz Superior' with the silver dial is probably my favourite watch in my collection. In my opinion, this watch was a very avant-garde design, in terms of both looks and functionality, when it was released in 1974 that blew most of its contemporaries out of the water. In fact, I consider this watch to still easily hold its own against, or even outshine, most modern day watches.
