Hoffman Watch

Post by AtomicTom » Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:55 am

Not sure if everyone has heard of Hoffman Watches. Or seen their new Diver
40, or Racer 40 already.

With both the Diver 40, and Racer 40 you have 40mm stainless steel cases
with multiple finishes, 50m WR, AR coated sapphire crystals, and fleet of
nice dials with luminous hands, and markers.

Then within the Diver it looks like you have the Seagull TY2901 automatic,
and within the Racer, a Seiko VK64 MechaQuartz. With the Diver coming
on a NATO, and the Racer on a leather strap everyone.

A few of the models, and versions...

Yawn, all from the parts bin. Nothing original here. Clean and tidy enough but too generic

Agree... they are all starting to look the same somehow, or at least vaguely familiar - might want to reconsider using "Original" in the branding!

the diver, especially the first iteration, really looks like a raven to me.

and yeah, "original" is a misnomer.

I agree there’s not much new, but they are clean and balanced. Apart from not being 200m rated they look like a good offering. Perhaps not made for the collectors, but nice enough for the regular folks who want a “divey” watch and thankfully aren’t drawn to Invicta’s offerings.

Yup, not all completely new guys. ..Think it was the various finishes,
along with different dial colors, and combinations that got me with
these ! :grin: ..Along with the movement, it's like a more modern
take on a classic I guess.

Thanks very very much for your two cents everybody ! :salute:
