Here is a full review of Tropical Sahara watch from Undone. It's a really good looking watch paying homage to vintage chronographs with tropical dials. I think this watch in particular pays a homage to a vintage Omega Speedmaster from 1957.
I've been impressed with the looks and the overall quality of this timepiece. There are a few different options to choose from but this Tropical Sahara version is my favourite.
Enjoy the review!

Another great review as always but not too sure about the watch. I think definitely the price is way too steep for it personally and seen a few reviews on this now and it's not one that will be appearing on my Christmas wish list 🎅. But as we always say everyone has different tastes and if this one's for you then go for it! Hope you and Bond🐶 have a good weekend dude!

Thank you Chris! If this watch "doesn't scratch that itch" so to speak there are plenty of other options. Definitely $350 for a mechaquartz movement and a mineral crystal is a bit much. All the best, Oleg.

Hi Oleg, hi Bold! What I've already written in my comment to your last video: It's really a decent and good looking watch and everything, but the price is just a bad joke! And you could even go up to USD 450 with an engraving et.al. If I do remember well, there's (at least) one very great watch with a slice of a real meteor as the dial and an automatic Seiko or Miyota movement for under 400 bucks.I can't remember the brand now, but I guess you know what I'm talking about :) Now THAT'S something I'd spend my money for! All the best! :)

I think you're talking about Zelos watch. I do really like that one. Unfortunately didn't get a chance to review it:( You're right at $350 there are quite a few options with better specs. $450 with engraving is way too much. For that money you can buy mechanical movement chronos. All the best, Oleg.

I’ve had issues with the chronograph second hand not being aligned perfectly. The problem isn’t the watch, it’s the movement. I like the VK movements and the vintage style chronograph current micro brands are putting out (undone/Dan Henry). So much that I have a little collection of watches with the VK movement. I have seven of them (urban Navi/speedy/Killy/and mystique Neptune, Dan Henry 1962, and seiko ssb031 and ssb033). Three of the seven that I have have chrono second hands that align slightly off center. Make that four of eight because I returned one of the seiko for a new one. The second hand can only be realigned manually by opening up the watch case and repositioning it.

For sure it is a very nice watch but I can't even imagine me buying one for this price. It is completely away from my reality. But I like it. Yesterday I joined a Facebook group dedicated to microbrand watches. Man, there are so many options... It sucks to be in a country where your money doesn't value nothing, rs. Great video, Oleg. Best for you and Bond.
@24hourstime
@24hourstime 6 лет назад

Thanks Oleg & Bond for your unbiased review! I initially liked this piece, but bottom line is my expectations for certain specs go up after around $300, so this piece with it's MechaQuartz, no second hand and mineral crystal, falls short, especially for a micro-brand. IMO, you can find better established brands with sapphire and/or decent auto mvmts at this price point. Sorry..
@24hourstime
@24hourstime 6 лет назад
Thank you my friend! At $350 it's a bit of a steep price tag for the MechaQuartz. I with they maybe added another $100 to the price and made it full mechanical. I think that would make it a better value proposition. All the best, Oleg.

I loved this watch when I first saw it and Undone is marketing this watch hard. You are right about the price and for over $100 less I can get a much better quality Seiko "Recraft" SSC667.

Hey Oleg, have you tried to pull the crown out then set the Chrono second hand to the appropriate point? That may work!
@24hourstime
@24hourstime 5 лет назад
Thank you for the suggestion Mark! I just tried it, unfortunately it didn't work. I think because the movement is mecha-quartz it has similar gears as a mechanical chronograph. That's why it didn't reset as a quartz chrono would when the crown is pulled out.
@theknifeguy3623
@theknifeguy3623 5 лет назад
Oh ok I didn’t know they worked differently! Once I took my watch apart and replaced the battery, and I had an issue with the Chrono second hand. That trick worked. Thanks for the feedback though keep up the great content much appreciated brother!!!

I would rather get a seiko ssb with the same movement for less than half the price for this. But it comes down to if you really like the fake aged look and customisation they provide.The misaligned reset would drive me absolutely crazy tho. I have many mecaquartz mvt and none have this problem.
@24hourstime

Pretty , but typically greedy microbrand overpricing.. snapback, mineral glass,mecha- quartz... at least £150 too much. A shame, it does look good, but not that good. Dislike microbrands because they always cost way too much compared to the big brand opposition without offering anything more/better - they should be offering much more competitive rrp's as they don't have the history,heritage or resale value . Good review, Cheers Bond (& Oleg) 👍👍
@24hourstime
@24hourstime 6 лет назад
Thank you my friend! The $350 price tag is steep for the specs. Hopefully the suggested upgrades from the community will get Undone to improve the crystal and lower the price. All the best, Oleg.

The watch is not bad. But not for me. Maybe something from aqua collection to customize... Clever idea with customizing. I can customize for example Parnis Diver with dials, hands like Undone with less $$ with Aliexpress.. What about with spare parts when the watch get damage :/? With Aliexpress shopping, I must go to the watchmaker for changing the parts, Undone is Ready for Use :) For this budget... I preffer buy something else than Undone :)

I think you’re very unbiased in your approach to reviews Oleg, but I just can’t like this watch. It seems to me that it’s trying to be something it’s not. Quartz movement masquerading as a mechanical, faux vintage dial, no second hand, etc. I don’t know, it’s not terrible but it’s just not for me I guess.
@24hourstime
@24hourstime 6 лет назад
Thank you my friend! Yes, this watch (to my surprise) has been quite divisive. As you said, it's not terrible but if you're not "in love" with the look there are quite a few other options. All the best, Oleg.
