The MTM Hypertec Chrono 2, Bold Style and Strength thru Simplicity
I’ve had many watches in my life, my first was a simple wind-up Timex that still works, telling time and day. Most days I don’t wear a watch, not because I don’t have one but because I can’t program/reprogram the one I have. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great watch but it has more […]
ProTek Watches: Merging Military Precision With Rugged Durability
Back in the Day Way back in the early 90’s a guy I was serving with showed me his new watch and it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It said “Navy SEALs” on the face, but I jokingly told my buddy I’d have a look at it anyway. The cool part was […]

Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection does more than pay homage to the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force; it’s brought new life to an aesthetic that’s directly reminiscent of a series of watches commissioned by the Ministry of Defence during World War II. These watches, commonly referred to as “the dirty dozen,” were made […]
Field Watch Review: Sans 13 Tactical Sport Watch from S&B
We’ve scoped out the SANS-13 Tactical Sport Watch from S&B (formerly Smith and Bradley) before and found it to be an exceptional field timepiece, but the watch recently underwent a redesign that was informed heavily by feedback S&B received directly from military and law enforcement users. The result is one hell of a tough duty […]
