That is the Excalibur that belongs to King Arthur, and the name of the watch, Avalon, is where the Excalibur was forged. If you ever hang out with me at golden hour with me wearing the AvaMatick, you might catch a glance of how a watch doofus stares at his wrist and drools away.įlip this baby over on its butt, you will find an engraving of a sword in the middle of a solid case back, along a few differences compared to its brothers. It makes the gold logo and indices shine and reflect its pride, while the black dial tones it down with its contrast, giving it a balance of lights and colour that doesn’t offend one’s eyesight with full-blown reflection and piercing light. I really do love when the sun hits the dial of the watch. But I would like to think aside from the case, it is the overall attribute of the watch design and construction that gave such amazing versatility with our daily outfit, whether you’re in office, out and about, summer or winter. Along with the double-domed sapphire crystal on top, it only measures 12.9 millimetres thick, making it ever easier to wear it with long sleeves and jackets thanks to the curvature of the cushion case. While it is a large watch and one would expect the larger appearance, the magic happens when you put it on your wrist and suddenly, you will feel that it’s not about the numbered specifications but the design quality of the watch’s aesthetics that makes it feel more of a 40 millimetre. With a cushion case at the given dimension, it was a pleasure wearing it on my although tiny wrist. The case construction is made up of 316L grade stainless steel that is a fully CNC machine produced case, and its design takes on an iconic cushion case design, popular with Seiko watches since vintage. FYI, lug-to-lug measurement is important for everyone to determine on how large the watch sits (small or large) on your wrist, and I would say the total of 48 millimetre fits “ngam-ngam” just nice on my 14.5 centimetres (<6 inches) wrist while it runs at a larger size. While it is heavily inspired by Seiko diver’s design, this acts as a nod and respect from one watchmaker to another for the watch community’s love for Seiko’s watch designs.Īt first glance, you will notice the watch sits on the larger side of numeral specification at 43 millimetres across, and 48 millimetres from the top to bottom, as what we call, lug-to-lug. It took two years for Nodus to perfect the watch’s design. It’s equipped with a great size of a case, a dive time bezel that runs unidirectionally counter-clockwise, and with a great water resistance/depth rating of 300 meters. The AvaMatick, like the rest of its Avalon brothers, is a sports/tool watch, specifically a dive watch.

While the AvaMatick is no stranger to Avalon owners, and those who know about Nodus, it is still an unknown watch for the masses. While I wasn’t sure of jumping the gun and the hype, when the opportunity arose, I did not hold back on my thoughts on getting it.Īnd the rest? Went to History channel ( lol) while we waited till Time Well Spent Edition 3 to receive the AvaMatick. I knew I needed one despite my financial circumstances (again).

That is until I was introduced to Team Matick’s Nodus AvaMatick. The point is, I was not keen on having microbrand watches in my staple. “Ranking watches from entry to ultra-luxury.” “Seikos are cheap trash.”

“#Speedy Tuesday” “insert watch meme here” “I’m new to watch collecting, any recommendation under US$200?” “Which Seiko do you prefer? SKX007 or 009?”

Take the daily life of an amateur watch collector as an example, not necessarily every amateur’s daily life, but it was mine: Scrolling through Facebook and Instagram at free time, or before bed, seeing all the branded conglomerates gloriously claiming most discussed posts on these ‘horological’ Facebook groups. In my book, if a watch from a reputable international brand is pop-music, then microbrand watch is indie/alternative music. When I first came across the word ‘microbrand’ as introduced to me by James Stacey’s article over at the dinks’, I did not find any logic nor reasons behind owning a microbrand watch as I was a victim to marketing prowess of our mainstream choices, and I still am to a degree. This is my first ever microbrand in my collection, and it is the most prized piece in my collection after my Alpinist.
