A Review of a modern Trench Watch from Vario the 1918

  • One of the most iconic styles of a classic watch is the WWI era trench watch. Small watch maker Vario has a modern take on the classic patterns called the Trench and the Medic. In this review, I examine the lum, test for accuracy, and show all the band combinations available for this cool take a modern. I briefly compare it to a Seiko 5, a SARV001, and an old Nautica quartz.

    I really love the design, a design that I have been searching for a long time. Then I find out it’s a “Screw-Down” crown which I truly hate. No one does a true review of screw-downs being used everyday for over a year to see if the threads last that long. Keep in mind that this watch is automatic and yes you do have to hand wind these watches everyday. That means unscrewing and screw it close everyday which means it gets worn down. If it were a push pull crown then simply wind it up each day. I am sick of screw-downs and nobody being honest about it.

    • @AdvancedKnifeBro
      @AdvancedKnifeBro  2 года назад +2

      I’d like to dispute one thing. If you wear this watch every day and take it off at night you will not have to wind it once a day. Sure if you have 8 watches and you intermittently wear them, that’s the case. I’ve worn this for a week straight without winding.
