Can a microbrand's first watch be perfect? Houtman watches may have done just that with their debut piece, the Pilbara 200m automatic dive watch. I'll give you an in-depth look at the Pilbara Rock dial variation, then after this full review YOU tell ME if this watch is almost perfect! Let it ROCK!

Prices mentioned in the video were at the time of filming. Houtman is an Australian brand, so prices are set in that currency and converted to USD...prices will fluctuate.
Thanks to Pete ‪@ChillinwitWatches‬ for turning me on to ‪@houtmanwatches‬ !
This watch was on loan from the manufacturer for the purpose of showcasing here on this channel, without compensation. The watch was returned to the manufacturer after filming was completed.

Great review. The dial on this one might drive me nuts...or further down that road...love the blue and green ones....they have been on my hit list for awhile. Cheers!!!

The fume dials DO look sharp! I’m sure you’ll be impressed once you pull the trigger on one of those two. Thanks for watching with eyes beyond the rock dial!

4 holes of Micro adjust and would it would have been very close to perfect. I am Australian, but I wonder if the way the exchange rates are at the moment that represents even better value in international currencies.

@WatchWitt Жыл бұрын

Haha! ONE more hole please! Yes, the USD price today is $424.

Very unique dial. The color could be considered a bit strange, but that’s what adds to its character.

That’s one nice watch Witt. I’m just not a fan of the dial unfortunately. The brushing, and the polished chamfered edges are stunning.

Yes, the finishing is beautiful, and love this bracelet. Check out the other dials…!

That is a bold freshman release there! A nice blend of traditional and modern techniques and design elements. Outstanding piece

Yeah, you’re right…I didn’t think of it as a mixture of old and new, but it really is!

I'm very impressed with this, love the dial and the printing on the crystal. It's a really nice looking watch that's great value. Nice

@WatchWitt Жыл бұрын

That print on the underside is my favorite too, Wes! The only unknown is how long it may last. In theory it’s not much different than printed on the dial, I guess…

Terrific review Witt. I think this is a very nice watch with a unique design, great specs, high quality, and fairly priced. All in all tremendous offering. I looked at their web site and and all options are beautiful but really like the blue dial in particular. Thank you for sharing. Happy Wednesday my friend 👍

@WatchWitt Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, that blue fume dial is amazing! If the Rock variation weren’t available, I’d probably go for the white. I’m a white dial whore and I love this black handset!

It was pretty funny, but not drastic enough to capture on video…more of a naked eye kinda thing!

Hmmm, that dial is going to be controversial, I thought it was cork at first.

@WatchWitt Жыл бұрын

I think I mentioned something about that in the unboxing video, or maybe it just came up in the comments. But in person, as I wore it, it really presented as a nice textured hard surface dial. Even with cork on my mind it never “fooled” me.
