From the silky-smooth and ergonomic sides to the heft and sparkle, it’s way too big a tool to be such a looker. No, not officially, but that large 44mm case is hand-finished in a Grand Seiko studio within a Japanese forest. The dazzling blue dial and applied indices are set deep, very deep, inside a Grand Seiko case. And yes, it will shrug off the odd scratch from punching an attacking Great White in the teeth while descending, but the Zaratsu stops me. I’m well aware that it is an undefeatable tool watch that will dive many leagues under the sea with ease. There is a conflicting nature to the SLA023, though, which fits me perfectly. In the heat, the bracelet is a great way to stay less clammy-wristed, with the ratcheting diver’s clasp ready when my heated arm expands.

The steel case with a dark olive ceramic coating will take a proper beating. It wears compact with super-stubby lugs, similar to the Seiko Tuna. This aptly named piece is a great example of form following function with a masculine 44.5mm puck-shaped case.
Vero makes tough small-brand watches, and the Workhorse is a case (pun intended) of thinking out of the box. With two kids in tow, peace of mind is important (and usually never found), so go figure. A pretty good starter collection if you’re new to the game, and - oh, the horror - two of them were non-mechanical. The other two were a fave sports watch that can stand both the heat and the sea and a slim, dressy number. I haven’t got a Rolex, so the wrist-thievery aspect is irrelevant, but I baby my watches, so I brought a tough one for traveling and excursions. I sometimes change watches twice a day, so I usually bring three, and even sticking to that was tough. Unlike Brandon and Ben, I would lose my mind for the lack of choice. With my collection in a state of consolidation, you would think it would make for an easy choice. Now I’ll apologize for my Greta Thunberg moment and get back to the subject - the watches I packed for a hot holiday.
