Following the bracelet critique, Erebus has now adjusted both bracelet styles to fit a wider variety of wrists; these shouldn't be an issue for smaller arms moving forward! That's a brand that acts on feedback, folks! 👏

@user-ws4yw7go4s Месяц назад

Will the O style end link be improved by being shorter?

Yea the O-style that just tries to look like a Oyster bracelet from rolex and the J-style that looks like a Jubilee bracelet from rolex this brand is lazy and just copied other brand and don't even try to hide it lol

@nicsamazingpinballchannel7688 Месяц назад

Insta-ordered the bone white and black helix Ascents after the debut video hit. Monstrous value here. In fact it totally resets the bar for all microbrands. The only complaint is purely atmospheric in the sense that the Origin and Ascent do not (yet?) reflect a brand identity for Erebus. They don't visually relate to one another whatsoever. But, we're still early in the game and what they do bring is Jody's extensive catalog of evaluations distilled into a single "best of all worlds" choice for value-seekers. The black dial is the new Sarb for the masses... it really does it all. So I guess in that sense I wanted to own it for the simple reason that the Ascent is the distillation of everything us RU-vid watch geeks have been nitpicking over for so many years and finally reached a new world-beating price/performance baseline created by one of our own. Baby Grand Seiko... with lume? Yes please! That bone white enamel really is gorgeous.

@johanvandersandt8904 Месяц назад

I didn't mind the Origin. I liked the tooly design and the variety of dial colors. The Ascent however is on a different level for a different type of guy. If the Origin was for the soldier's then this Ascent is the officers watch. None better than the other but made for different roles.

@johnnychin Месяц назад

Great analogy with the soldier/officer's watch! I too do not mind Origin's design at all. In fact I love it more than a lot of the other microbrand offerings of a more modern dive watch design because it is just so sterile and tooly. I love the Pelagos' look so the Origin looks fantastic to me.

I think this watch looks absolutely beautiful. It's like a GS and an Aqua Terra was tag-teaming a discontinued 39mm OP on a balcony under a St. Tropez sunset, and all their love-juices just merged together around a Miyota movement. Definitely looks like incredible value for money. I'm debating white dial with a J bracelet. 🤩

@tkindschi Месяц назад

Glad my faith was not misplaced on this one! I passed on the Origin, only because I'm really not a dive-watch guy. But I "dove" into the pre-sale on this because on the surface it is exactly what I like. I picked the green helix, so it was nice to see some footage of it here. Fingers crossed that I'm still of the same mind as you after I receive it!

@DetroitDiesel671 Месяц назад

I'm excited to get my Ascent(s), I have a blue enamel and green fumé on order. I thought you were a little harsh on the design of the Origin... it wasn't supposed to be fancy or groundbreaking, it was supposed to be an ultra readable tool diver with excellent specs for the money, and it accomplished that handily. The hands and markers on it are a very original design and I quite like the geometry of them.

Great video and thanks for drawing attention to the J style bracelet for the smaller wristed. When I saw the launch video I was ready to jump on the Malachite dial but all the reviewers seems to be skeptical or not bonding with it. I like several of the other dials but my second choice would have been purple but I have two purple dial watches already so a bit on the fence now.

@derbagger22 Месяц назад

Awesome dial shots! I wish you got more colors as I STILL haven't decided on a dial. For a true GADA, I want one of the enamel dials. Since I have black and blue, I am leaning the white enamel dial as like the black dial will truly go with anything...

@DouglasRosser Месяц назад

I was one of many folks who were unimpressed with the Origin. But damn, as time goes on that thing is actually looking pretty smooth.

@czguy3045 Месяц назад

Yep... all good points. This is totally up my alley. My main daily watches are in the similar ballpark. The Aqua Terra is currently probably my grail, though I don't wear my current premium watches enough to justify the cost. My San Martin AQ homage is probably my #1 for a true daily, followed by the Wise Adamascus, Cincinnati Cincinnatus and either the SWC Bunker or a Squale for more sporty times. I also really like the SARB033 and love most Grand Seikos. I ordered the white enamel on the J-style and honestly, I can see it potentially becoming my #1. My biggest criticism is the font used for the 'Ascent' logo and that is a VERY minor criticism.

@craiggreeson2614 Месяц назад

Damn it Ben, I had narrowed my choice down to either orange fume or white enamel but now you slid that purple sunburst back into the running. 😎 Great review and I agree fully - the Origin did nothing for me but this I really like as a responsible man's Aqua Terra alternative. I could afford an Omega but spending that much money for something that I would then just stress over damaging makes no sense when something looks this nice for less than 10% of the price.

@VintageTimeGems Месяц назад

What all reviews fail to mention is that it's a Chinese manufactured watch. It looks nice, and has good finishing. The movement is made in China so goodness knows how long that will last? Isn't really just another Chinese watch? A good review, and I agree the crown is a tad over sized. The watch looks great and would be nice to have one, but to spend over $400 AU plus on a Chinese watch it's hard to justify.

As to your take on the Origin, I don't think your off base; it's like a thinner and lighter Helm Vanuatu - and for that I like it a lot!

Must be a factor of being pre production, but I would imagine they would have made sure that was perfect. Definitely a GS Evo9 esk case design without the Zeratsu polish.

That actually is an excellent idea. Jody could charge a little more for a Musou black dial and I will be getting one.

The Venezianico Redentore has those crown guards that kind of take away the elegance simplicity of an ultra black dial.

@ianyoung5619 Месяц назад

I think Jody and Steven have really smashed this out of the park. 12 different dials with 2 different straps makes for an amazing 24 different watch combinations. A lot more than some major manufacturers offer and at far better prices. The Citizen owned Miyota 9015 with 8 bps , 28800 bph, will give this watch a touch of class, more of a sweeping second hand than ticking with an NH35 movement and like you stated is well worth the extra money. I never ordered the highly anticipated Origin model as it just didn’t do it for me. This though has driven me mad. All those dial choices, so many. I have changed my order 3 times already! Finally settling on the Black Enamel, a throw back to owning a SARB 033, which I rather stupidly sold for nothing, and also opting for the Blue Helix. I can see Jody and Steven selling this model in the thousands, which for a microbrand is a phenomenal testimony to their ideas and design. Bring on September!

@@tak178 I don’t blame them. It’s just when I see the rebranded clasp (again, hard to blame them) I think oh so it’s a San Martin. But yeah for a second offering at the prices they’re asking: I totally get it

Another terrific and honest review. The internet’s Watch Dog indeed. I’m all about that white enamel on the J Style. My only criticism is I think they offered too many choices right out of the gate. I think Russell’s (Mad Watch Collector) idea of releasing additional colors and finishes as special editions may have been a better idea. Still a brilliant watch though. Thanks!

From a customer standpoint, what is “too many” with respect to dial variations on the same model?

@adk7962 Месяц назад

@@zplapplap I understand. More choices are usually better, but I think in this case, it’s almost overwhelming. But again, that’s probably just me. 😅

@@adk7962 I'd rather be overwhelmed then spend $400 on a watch to see them put out a dial you absolutely want in a limited quality 3 months later that you either A) would have to shell out another $400 for or B) couldn't get because you missed an arbitrary ordering window.
