- I have been waiting to see the second release from this relatively new micro brand
Their first watch was an impressive achievement and now they have sent in their new model,
Pitzmann II and although it's not a perfect watch, it really does tick so many right boxes
The watch is available in three different colour-ways

I am quite stunned at the extent of negative comments on a review of a seriously well build and good looking watch and the amount of watch snobbery. I don’t care one bit where a watch is made or the brand name or the history of a brand . I trust Peter’s judgement when comparing watches to the ones he has personal experience with. Pitzmann released a great watch at a great price and one should give them the respect they deserve.
I think it comes down to people maybe not knowing me and my viewpoint, so thus some of the negativity
I did approach this review with considerable zeal as I feel the watch is really well built and executed nicely as you said, but sometimes people read things into situations that don't exist
Whatever the case, the watch is pretty impressive for a sub $1000 unit..and its still on my wrist as I type this reply
Thanks for sharing Frank 👍
Also people get weird when you compare an affordable watch to their $6000 watch. That's something that will not change. But he's doing a great job. Let's help him get the view he deserves.
Hello where i can buy It.Thanks a prior
Well said Frank! There is nothing I hate more than watch snobbery. If people don’t like the watch it’s simple, don’t bloody buy it and keep your snobbery in check! I’ve been watching Pete’s channel for months now and he calls it as he sees it. I like the watch, it has an excellent movement and the price is super reasonable.
Well now it's $1200...
Woooah I’ve never seen this watch before but I’m glad to know about it now! The finishing looks gorgeous
Do a review!!!
It really is Britt, I am still wearing this many days after the review.
Its like a daily AT without the high cost of scratching it up when Im on the tools 😊
Britt! Please review this watch!😁
Recently received my Pitzmann II. I'm in love with it. Beautiful watch. Pitzmann customer service was excellent.
Great stuff, I was wearing mine today...enjoy it 👍
This is a microbrand on a whole other level. Beautiful design and level of quality that puts many of the Swiss brands to shame.
The word that comes to mind is Wow! This is how a Micro-brand should be making a watch at this price point.
this is a microbrand, I had one by myself, what I can say it this watches is value for the money, its quality is reach to Grand Seiko and Omega even, but price is quite low, a good deal.
indeed
Appreciate your in-depth reviews of the Pitzmann watches.
I prefer the first yet am grateful to see reviewers feature this microbrand.
Any watch without a date function gets a fair go with me. Add in a good movement, great build and finishing and a handsome/ smart design and it's a winning formula 👍.
Dear G0d Peter!!!
Another amazing microbrand and it has great lume!?!? For the price this watch is captivating.
You’re right, it’s a stunner. Bravo Pitzmann!
I'm impressed.
Love my pitzmann first, this second one is looking pretty good! Especially the high polished indices. I agree about pitzmann crowns, I wish they were a touch larger and grippier, it's not as easy to wind and set the time. You're right about the bezel - it does remind me a bit of my ball enterprise
Yet another amazing review. You are my favourite watch content creator, Peter. Hats off to you.
Cheers
That is a really gorgeous watch! 150m WR, how unusual...Definitely a brand I will be looking out for
Im still wearing this days after the review, its been a great experience on the wrist Jason 👍
Beautiful watch! Pitzmann is on the right path. I think we will see more Korean brands in the near future and it's good. Thank you for another great review. 👍
I dig the green, initially got CW vibes, but after watching the vid, there are lots of differences to set it apart. Thanks for showing it off.
👍
it's unique it's classic it's a beauty.
One of the classiest watch youtubers out there, videos always beautifully shot and very informative. Thank you
Too kind 🙏
An applied logo and female end links would've made this piece unbeatable
This is a SERIOUSLY beautiful watch!
Great looking watch with some impressive specs. I've been looking for a GADA watch and this one just made the list.
Great to see this one. I can see why it has impressed you.
honestly, you are one of, if not the best watch channel on youtube.
Everytime you make a new video, you do something new, cool and interesting.
Thank you for amazing videos :)
Wow, thank you, but you are far too kind 🙏
Im not generally a micro brand fan, but the overall quality of this , is fantastic for the money. companies like omega , rolex and tudor , seem set on increasing the prices on their watches , at an alarming rate, without much improvement on their models. I know microbrands don't spend as much on advertising etc, but it does make you think , are you just paying for a name ? Great video as always peter.
Cheers Martin 🙏
I think it’s a great dress sports option.
indeed
Some of these micro brands offer outstanding value for money and there will always be a market for well made watches like this. However, the fact they are made in Asia not Switzerland ensures they will always be overlooked by watch snobs, regardless of the quality
Hi Peter, would you pay $1000 for this?
From the images on their website I have to say NO.
However having this in the hand and experiencing it all week, I have no reservations for a big YES.
I am really pleased with the finish and detail not to mention comfort and functionality (this green one has been superb and does everything my Omega does but for a fraction of the price
I am very pleased with he stability of the movement and the 56hr power reserve, juts like my Omega
Hope that helps Johhny
Thank you. Love this green. Will consider getting this one. Great video.
It's a luxury watch, and affordable
love this watch. Great review--you're my favorite reviewer. You and Average Bros. Thank you!
I've heard the Reason Rolex doesn't put anti reflective coating on the glass is so the owners can see their selves 🤗
Nice watch, It looks like they could double the price and still offer good value.
I loved the first Pitzmann; it was a looker and much different from this second version.
I like that they have a completely new design and find that this one is more of a daily wear vs their first version.
I’d jump on this one w/o any hesitation vs the previous version.
Great execution. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful and classy. A microbrand to keep an eye on.
If this watch brand follows the evolution of Korean car manufacturing then I can't wait to see future releases from Pitzmann.
Hopefully a quality robust tool watch built to take some beating 🙏
Awesome watches 👍
Interesting brand and another great new design. As personally I like any company that produces uncluttered classical watch dials .... without all the visual fuss and needless clutter of day!date complications etc.
Gorgeous piece..definitely one to consider
Looks like you won't be able to take that one off! Great piece and great review, definitely did the watch justice.
Its still on my wrist as I type this reply 😊😂
Looks nice, a bit of a similar vibe to Christopher Ward but way nicer indicies. I feel like semi-skeleton hands something like Omega or Zenith would fit this one perfectly, also would love date on this
Great looking piece Peter. I like it very much.
Me too Peter, its really confutable and well finished
A solid piece for the money thats for sure
very nice quality indeed 🥂
Impressive indeed 👍
A lovely watch in every way. It’s ticks all the boxes except brand recognition. This is just my style of watch, but I have one too many in this style. But I’d sure like to see it in person.
These guys make a pretty good mustard!
Really beautiful. These days that 10mm and under thickness is a sweet spot for me. Like my Nomos Sport 42” with 300 meter w/r. It’s almost become a deal breaker for me. Excellent video as always 😎👍🏼
👍
I very much agree about thickness, it's why my money went to Damasko for the DS30.
@@marcusrawlinson5024 oh man that’s nice. Never saw that before. A simple beauty 👍🏼
I don't get why people think this watch is over priced. If any of the big brands made this it would be 2 or 3 times the price. Even if Pitzmann isn't manufacturing themselves these not some generic parts. The markers are fantastic. And the case and bezel look very nice. You don't see bezels like that.
Over 1,000,000 KRW for that piece.
Thats a beautiful watch. Ive added that on my list.
Great photography... And good to see a channel from a fellow Melburnian. Subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Crikey! Took the words right out me mouth mate!
I like that they've tried to incorporate Korean design heritage into the case design, but that approach should extend into the branding IMO.
It'd be much better to go with a Korean name than a knock-off Swiss sounding one
I was curious myself, about the name. I could not find anything on their website regarding it. I'd rather have a real Korean name as well, it just would go better with theme of the watch.
Yes, like Ming, Seiko and other asian brands. It's a fine history of watch making. No need to sound British or whatever Pitzman is supposed to be.
I agree. Something to do with historical Korean horology would have been nice.
Y'all are so far up your own asses it's funny😊
I wasn't too into this until you showed the price. That watch is absolutely worth that price. I'm not a huge fan of that dial, the grey is much more interesting to me and the case is awesome, reminds me of a Ming or FPJ, great lugs. Honestly I was expecting closer to $2k, easily. Give an AT a run for its money though? No.
??????????!!! Please justify this comment. How is it "worth that price"? The dial is the only part of this watch this company produces. And we aren't even sure they do.
What a beauty. Great value for the money.
This look stunning. So Grand Seiko
Nice! Good introduction to a brand I’ve never heard about. Definitely going to check them out. First I’ve heard about a Korean brand. Just subbed!
Thanks for the sub Jeff
Very good review as always, well done Pete. Ignore the watch snobs and their silly negativity/snobbery, they’re not true enthusiasts, their loss mate. For me if it had a date complication at the 6 position, I would seriously consider having one.
👍👍👍
I’m normally a date guy as well, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this as a time only watch
Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
Great looking watch, wish they came out with a red or other bright color. Want something abit more fun for the upcoming spring an summer. The price is fair at $1000US.
*Make us happy and on-time.*
Enjoyed the review. Sponsored or not. Felt honest. Keep em coming
Thanks, will do!🙏
As for honesty, I get more than enough watches weekly, that doesn't phase me, I admire good quality and design , so I gotta say it as I see it and the way it makes me feel cheers
That’s a great looking watch! Great review!!
I agree about the double-dome, disagree about the crown. If it were smaller the watch would look more "delicate". Very nice looking watch! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Should we expect more colour choices anytime soon?
You misunderstood. He said the crown should be .5mm bigger, not smaller.
@@chrishennemeyer7276 Indeed! That makes sense 👍
I forgot to mention there are three colourways, green, blue and a greyish/black
Thanks for bringing that to my attention 👍
Sign my skinny wrist up for a 36mm version of this. I've got 3 or 4 watches I could see this replacing - would love an excuse to size down. As it stands though, I can see this watch eating Christopher Ward's lunch and drawing people away from, say, Tudor. Love a second release that improves on a brand's potential - a proper Terminator 2!
I like it, would've loved it probably though if it didn't have the circular rings on the dial along the hour markers.
A Korean watch? I have a bunch of Japanese watches. I got a Chinese watch. I feel like I should get a Korean watch just to complete the North East Asia trifecta. Does anyone have experiences with the warranty support and whatnot? It uses a SW-300, so I don't think the service will be an issue, but the warranty support may be.
Lol what Chinese watch you got bro?
@@jonathanyng A Sea-Gull 1963
@@joshuaychung nice, how's it? I have a haofa that's a Chinese tourbillon and an undone Terra, I think that's from Hong Kong.
@@jonathanyng It's great so far. I love the fact that it's so loud and proud of being a Chinese watch. I'm not Chinese but love to show off the Chinese characters that took me forever to decipher. =)
@J C you mean the "中国制造"？that just means "made in China" lol
Beautiful. Although we can agree to disagree that it’s a sports watch.
Beautiful piece well done
Very nice. 2-4mm smaller and a few hundred less expensive and I'd be all over it.
Beautiful watch. I like it. I am not a watch snob, as my current and previous watches are by Timex. Did I miss seeing the price? No matter, I probably couldn't afford it anyway. Did I mention that I think this is a beautiful watch? Yes, of course I did.
$999 👍
@@PeterKotsa Thank you, Peter. That's a reasonable price for a very nice watch.
Certainly no Omega but a fair price for a solid looking watch in 2023, especially considering recent hikes in labour/material (and everything else) costs.
Well said
Just wow!!
I'm a sucker of the smooth bezel and stick indices on a bracelet, having said that I would prefer 41 or 42mm.
Great watch, but I'd say it competes more with Ball and Longines rather than Omega; glad to see the SW300 instead of the ubiquitous SW200. As with the previous model, it's a shade too expensive in my opinion. I would like to see it on sale for $750-800 and then it would be a strong competitor - it does look very 'Ball like', perhaps with even better finishing.
My thoughts exactly
Omega designs always seem to have a hard time completely winning me over. To have something approaching their quality in finish and refinement wearing it with design cues I'm immediately more interested in means this has made my 'to watch' watch list instantly. Of course it might seem easily done to incorporate a few subtle cultural elements to make one's microbrand design stand out, but it's rare to see it succeed to such balanced results. It helps I'm also convinced of the upgrade the SW300 offers over the SW200 that so many use. I wish more would opt for the SW300, especially now that they've upgrades the power reserve. The video you linked to explaining the process of designing and the finishes chosen in such detail is simply exemplary. All serious microbrands should attempt this. To clarify, the one you've shown is the production versio and now the prototype they used in their video? And as a matter of detail: the slope towards the inner dial of the markers, is that a simple diagonal bevel also also a rounded concave giwa shape? The price (pre import, presumably) is not something I'd spend so easily, but yes, I can imagine one finding its way onto my wrist one day. My negatives, for balance, include a brand name that while seemingly inoffensive just doesn't have a nice ring to it somehow, and a latent fear that perhaps it's not exciting enough... but then the subtleties seem to be exactly the point of this design.
Fantastic looking watch 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.. maybe female endlink and choice of choosing with date at six a clock? It’s a pitty that brands just does them without date, depressing ☺️
Reminds me of an OP41 but with personality. I think I'd prefer a microadjustment on the bracelet, but I've been spoiled there. Beyond that - damn good looking watch.
That actually looks better than the Aquaterra, with exception of the hands.
The watch case is beautiful, no question about it. But the dial dies not impress me as I'm not a fan of the raised concentric circle section. In my eyes this doesn't look all that fancy.
Excellent video
cheers
Very attractive watch
Good review. It's very reminiscent of a Ball Engineer. I do think for $1k, it's a little pricey, but over all, very nice.
Sweet watch
Reminds me a bit - and in the nicest way - of some of Casio 's Waveceptors like LCW M170TD-1A
Lots of bonding !!
Is there any tapering on the bracelet?
Yes slight, 20mm down to 17.9mm
Does it have a phantom date? - ie an intermediate crown position? I assume it doesn't as the Sellita SW-300 is available as a no date version.
No ghost position on this one 👍
Thanks, Peter, for bringing this brand to my attention. I find the design quite cohesive and mature. A question about the lume if I may ... if fully charged just before sleep, do you think it would maintain 6 hours of visibility to dark-adjusted eyes? That's my criteria for acceptance. Love your balanced reviews. 👍
6 hours, probably not
But I’d say like my Aqua Terra closer to 4 and a bit
Well. I tried it. Yes. I was able to check the time. 10pm-5am.
I would maybe get that as an exploring watch while still getting an AT
The thing I find so odd is the brand name. It's an Asian brand, representing the Korean country and culture and it has a name that sounds like it was designed and built in NYC. When I think of the word Pitzmann, it just doesn't envoke Korea. Maybe it's the heritage in the word Casio or Seiko, but when someone says "Pitz", it envokes negative connotation, like the word Pits. "that place was a dump, it's the pits".
Very nice watch. An applied logo would be nice.
Could you do a comparison video of the Seiko Alpinist and Pitzmann II? FYI, I'm about to receive my Pitzmann III ice blue dial which I ordered after watching your review.
Congrats on the purchase...Im sure you'll love it 👍
As for the Alpinist.I dont have one on hand atm..
@@PeterKotsaJust to be clear,
I mean the new Seiko Alpinist.
czcams.com/video/nIPmOH2eGNk/video.html
Beauty !
Very similar to the tissot powermatic 80 so I like it as I have tissot in the same colour which I love.
This piece reminders me of Omega De Ville Hour Vision instead.😜
Nice review anyway
I’m not sure what to think off this, I love the dial but I would prefer a date. It looks really good on the green rubber strap.
There are a few negatives, the bracelet doesn’t look great and the lugs look huge when it’s fitted. The worst part of the aqua terra is the clasp and bracelet, it might be fine for people that like to wear their watches loose but I could not buy one as it would annoy me to have to bin the bracelet. I don’t know why Pitzman or anyone would make something as flawed. Also the shape of the case is a little clumsy.
It’s an impressive second watch but it’s quite pricey but I’m willing to try it for free.
I’m not a massive fan of this type of watch, except the Omega Aqua Terra which is a great watch.
However, I like the look of this too, particularly the blue one on their website.
Seems a bit pricey for what it is but still a nice watch.
With regards to owning micro brands, I like to have a balance. Sometimes it is nice to know when you go somewhere you have a watch on no one else will have. Micro brands give you that exclusivity that you cannot always get from the likes of Omega, Tudor etc etc 👍
I actually prefer the previous Pitzmann to this one ... this has definite Aqua Terra vibes, good specs but the rings on the dial make it a no for me ... just a personal style preference of course.
Beautiful watch but expensive. Good review Peter!!
I thunk for a 1/10 of the price of my AT, this is doing pretty good 😊
Thanks Leon 👍
Great video ? Do they come in different colors, or just the green? Thanks!
Yes three different colours, I neglected to mention..check out their website,
Sorry Artie
@@PeterKotsa perfect!!! My apologies. You actually wrote it in the description I saw later. Should have looked closer first. And also watched their video you linked. I’m intrigued !!
@@artieshell9205 👍
looks awesome on the strap. Great review. Being eyeing Pitzmann indeed. Terrible website though lol
Very nice watch. The only thing I don't like are the hands: the hour and minute hands look too similar, especially when they line up in a row like at 5:49; and they look clunky. I'd prefer a sharper sword design, like in some Grand Seikos. I realize they're trying to make the hands mirror the hour marker indices, but you get that problem again when they line up and everything looks too similar. As noted by others, it bears this similarity with Ball watches, which also look clunky to me. I also recall the SW-300 has a date complication. Does that mean this watch has a "ghost" crown setting for the date function that doesn't exist?
There is NO ghost position on this 👍
Single click
Really like the watch. Would like to understand better the dial material. It looks like a matte dial. Is it composite?
How this Pitzmann II was designed: czcams.com/video/UIpAMbCZABM/video.html
I'm sold :-).
I get that Omega in the title would bring more views but a comparison to Christopher Ward C63 would be farer as they are in the same price category and people shopping for one of these is more likely to have a look at the other.
0:28 keyword "almost" took all the fun away 😜
well spotted..for $999 it was always going to be an almost 😊
