Burei Black Army Style Watch Model SM-13015-1-36EY2


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A good quality watch with distinctive style

This watch was kindly sent to me for review and I think it is very good – and actually a lot better-looking than I expected from the pictures on this page. I have tested a number of Burei watches now and, like all the others, this is a good quality product.

The watch comes in a very nice, hinged presentation box with a manual and a little presentation bag, which would make it a good present. First impressions of the watch are very good. It has a large face, 4cm in diameter (about 1.5 inches) and solid, chunky feel with a good heft to it. Mine is all-black (with a stainless steel back), but it does come in other colour combinations. The face is very clear and has nice, retro-military look to it, with chunky luminous hands and markings and a shield-type logo at 12-o'clock. There is a clear second hand and a date display at 3-o'-clock. The crown is very nicely done and the band is black canvas with a nice soft leather lining which makes it good and comfortable, with a solid aluminium buckle whose style goes well with the watch itself.

Functionally, it's very good. It keeps very good time, is shockproof and scratch resistant, and it is rated as water resistant up to 30 metres depth, and it's obviously tough enough to stand up well to the sort of knocks and wettings it might get in normal use. It just feels like a solidly made, durable watch. If I have any problems with durability I will update this review, but I'm not expecting any.
