Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
what is up guys it's Andrew with my
watch addiction dot-com and yes I know
you guys are gonna be pissed at me this
is not my watch collection update video
got a little tied up with work and life
this week did not have a chance to get
that done but instead what we're gonna
do today is we're gonna do a quick
unboxing of a new Kickstarter watch that
I got in just to tide you guys over
hopefully I'll be able to get it done by
next week but guys there's a lot of
content in that I just simply did not
have enough time so I apologize about
that but guys today we're gonna take a
look at the Mars mission watch from OVD
watches that I backed on Kickstarter now
you guys may have seen a couple of OVD
watch reviews that I've done in the past
I did the Titanic X from their past
Kickstarter campaign as well as this VF
84 pilot watch skull pilot watch that I
absolutely love from OBD watches so guys
we're gonna tear into this Mars mission
from OBD watches incidentally if you
guys aren't familiar with OBD watches
OVD watches is based in Hong Kong that
is where this guy came from and guys I'm
just really excited to tear into this
I've seen some pictures of other guys
that have received their watches and
open them up and I hear they're really
really hard to take pictures of so let's
see if I run into the same trouble but
OBD watches Mars mission guys
decent-sized box decent packing
although the Box a little jacked up I
think I don't know if they actually it
doesn't look like they haven't in
shipping so I can't actually give them a
pass on that but real just quick boxing
packing job Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
we'll see this guy up more packing do
not eat silicon now if I remember in the
past they had decent boxes on their past
Kickstarter campaigns open this guy up
and there's the Mars mission box from
OBD watches 2019 and slide this guy we
have a couple extra got a leather strap
which if I remember right I remember
picking this one out so I thought it was
just a cool cool design
that's an interesting box design it's
puffed out letters see if I can get this
guy out without causing too much damage
and destruction I am pretty impressed
with their boxing you can see 3d letters
on that guy and then another box inside
of that boxes inside of boxes inside of Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
boxes I don't know how many boxes you
need to have for one watch but we have
three this is almost like a leather type
material black and grey and there is the
watch so inside OBD watches I'm gonna
zoom in here Oh buddy watches there
warranty cards are a metal you can see
right there
the Mars mission they interestingly
enough didn't fill out the date I don't
remember if they did on my past ones or
not here is the manual that came along
with it
and then this is the Mars mission that I
selected guys I'm gonna get this cleaned
up we're gonna zoom in and see what this
guy is like all right guys let's jump
into this Mars mission now incidentally
they weren't kidding when I read that
this thing was incredibly hard to
photograph I guys it's even harder to
record with lights that I'm using you
see that glare I don't even have any
direct lighting on it and it's it's
going nuts on me here so I apologize for
the glare on that guy's but this is the
ashy Mars version of the Mars mission
you can tell will review the Kickstarter
campaign towards the end they had a
whole bunch of different color
combinations I opted to go with the ashy
Mars simply because AI thought that
color combinations were really cool and
I didn't have anything with this color
combination in my collection currently
you can see really really nice leather
genuine leather strap I love the gray on
this strap especially with the gray of
that dial looks really sharp but I guys
I also opted to go with the brown strap
on this as well Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
just simply because as an extra add-on
because I thought that would look sharp
on this wash as well but as we take a
look at it really really cool design
that's the one thing I love about OVD
watches is they always have some really
really interesting designs in their
execution on it seems pretty good if we
flip it over on the side here you guys
can see that double dome sapphire
crystal that crystal reminds me a lot of
the
that is on the arrogant air got an
anti-gravity that I have in my
collection you guys might have seen in
the past that guy doesn't get a whole
lot of wrist time simply because of the
height of this the crystal I'm wondering
and I'm kind of worried if this guy's Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
gonna suffer the same fate but we'll see
how it looks on the wrist and we'll see
how it feels and see if that's something
that I can kind of get used to one thing
I am noticing as I'm looking at it like
this though guys see the minute hand in
to see if you're looking straight down
on it looks pretty decent looks pretty
curved to the radius of that internal
dial but when we're off to the side we
kind of see it there a little bit the
radius isn't 100% perfect on that minute
hand I don't know if there was a they
had a design reason for doing that to
get the hands to line up I honestly
don't know but I kind of would have
expected that radius to be perfectly
aligned to that internal Mars guys I'm Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
really really digging this color
combination though and I'm really
digging this a gun metal case stainless
steel tooled case if we flip this guy
over you can see it's got a machined
exhibition case back now that is a
mineral crystal on the back of this so
that you can see that automatic movement
in it incidentally they're upgraded to
the Seiko and each 70a automatic
movement now I personally don't have any
watches in my collection have that have
that movement in it so I'm kind of
curious to see how this guy performs but
again that's the Seiko NH 70 a automatic
movement also that's a good shot right
there of the quick release pins for
changing out these genuine leather
straps the straps on this again guys I
think are really nice and really really
digging that I actually might take these
Brown straps that I got and put them on
one of the other watches to see what it
looks like because them Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
loving those straps none of course a
genuine leather catches right there now
this guy is water-resistant to about 100
feet 30 meters give or take 98 feet
which I found surprising because it does
not have a screw down crown on this
watch guys let's jump over to the
Kickstarter campaign and see what other
color combinations they have in this
watch so guys if we jump over to their
Kickstarter campaign you can see Mars
mission is a completed project you can
see I was a backer let's scroll down
here I managed to jump in on the super
early bird and pick this guy up for
about $300 $300 was the u.s. conversion
on this one I'll just scroll through
real quick again the designs on this
watch were inspired by the Mars mission
300 day mission you can see all of their
different color combinations we've got
the Mars Explorer mono Mars I was I was
really digging this one too because you
guys know me I love love love black and
red and with this stainless steel case
on this mono Mars this mmm - zero zero
one
really sharp color combinations but guys
there's the ashy Mars how they got some
of these pictures I'm not sure I'm gonna
have to play around with it and see see
if I can come up with a way to take
pictures of this extreme dial then of
course we have the Death March this is a
bronze case it's got kind of that
vintage e look to it this one I was
hemming and hawing over it because I
think it's a sharp-looking watch Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
sharp-looking color combination it's one
that I don't have in my collection right
now
I'm sorry hemmed-in hot over that and
then deep Mars which is a PVD coated
black case now I have a lot of black
watches just straight out right
so I kind of went with the gunmetal look
because I'm a fan of that color
combination scroll down I'm really
really really interested in seeing Loom
on this supposedly this guy is rocking
red loom we're gonna have to check it
out and see I'm really excited about
that so stick around towards the end
guys I'll post up some loom shots of
this watch curved hands how are they
assembled talks all about it guys I'll
post up a link to this Kickstarter
campaign if you guys want to learn more
and I'll definitely post up a link to
their website if you guys are looking to
pick one up these are all those
different strap combinations I picked up
the brown strap as well as the gray
strap that came on it just because I Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
thought it would be pretty interesting
to play around with it and see what it
looked like again there's the
specifications this is one thing I did
not mention case diameter on this watch
is forty three and a half millimeters
with a case thickness of almost 20
millimeters nineteen point two five
millimeters so this is a huge huge
hugely tall watch again 316l stainless
steel screw down mineral back case back
the front crystal is that double domed
scratch resistance sapphire crystal with
a are coating obviously based on the
pitchers and based on what I'm saying
the AR isn't all that great on this
considering I can't get a shot of this
watch without a reflection but I'd hate
to see it if they didn't have any air
coating on it period crown steel is
steel and aluminum then of course you
see that water resistance of 30 meters
so the hour-hand one thing I also didn't
point out the hour hand on my watches
and is in that yellowish green that's
around the outside of the 3d Mars and
then the minute hand is the curved hand
top guys I'll post up some time-lapse of
it so you can see how it kind of goes
through but that's pretty much the Mars
mission in a nutshell scroll down here
warranty card all the information the Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
multitude of boxes I've never seen so
many boxes come with just one watch but
guys while we're on Kickstarter I'm just
gonna jump over real quick and point out
another Kickstarter campaign that's
currently running by ovd watches it's
the time traveller - it's a hybrid watch
I haven't had a chance to dive into this
watch a whole bunch I did jump in and
back it for two hundred and forty
dollars because guys let's face it it's
two hundred and forty dollars
yeah and I've purchased every other OVD
watch that's out there real big fan of
them so I just wanted to jump on it
before I lost any spots I'm not saying
this is a yay nay I'm not saying I'm
even gonna keep this not sure yet I
haven't done a whole lot of research on
it I just jumped in and backed it for
the sake of backing it to be quite
honest with you but it is like I
mentioned the hybrid watch you guys will
see in my watch update collection and
may have seen in previous videos I have
another hybrid watch which is that
Alpina Alpine rx guys I'm not happy with
that watch and I'll talk about that
watch in my update a little bit I'm
hoping this one doesn't suffer from the
same issues but you know we'll we'll see
and I'll definitely report back on that
when this watch comes in anyway guys
just real quick wanted to show you the
time traveler - from OVD watches that I
backed alright guys so that was the ashy
Mars the Mars mission watch from OVD
watches guys I'm really really diggin Kickstarter Unboxing: OVD Watches Mars Mission Watch Review
the concepts and the watch designs that
ovd watch this comes out with you guys
have seen me and my VF 84 as well as
that Titanic X that I received from them
really really liking their watches their
designs and their concepts so I'm happy
to have this guy
my collection still yet to be seen if
it's gonna get a lot of wrist time just
due to that severe dome but I knew that
going into it I was well aware of the
dome on it it was just one of those
watches that I was looking at I had to
get my hands on because it was a really
really neat design OVD watches were it
minds me a lot of Zurich watches in the
fact that they come out with really
crazy designs but the one thing I will
say is that obd watches definitely their
execution on the watches to me anyway is
a lot better than the zurich like for
instance the zurich Trappist which is
probably one of the closer watches to
this that i've seen just from a design
concept standpoint I definitely think
obd watches took the cake on this one
from their actual execution so I'm glad
to have this guy in my collection anyway
