Review: Archimede Outdoor Automatic Sport
For those of you familiar with the Archimede watch brand, you very well may think immediately of their beautiful line of traditional pilot watches, for which they are best known. But today we're bringing you a review of an Archimede that breaks that mold.

If only it was offered in SS
At first glance, it looks like a Coke bezel. I like it and prefer it over the new Pepsi. Oh well....not a fan of TT or RG.
