Affordable and Unusual: Direnzo DRZ 06 Wandering Star

[@direnzowatches]

Dear Evan, thank you very much for taking the time to check my newest model! I greatly appreciate it as I know you have a busy schedule 😅 thank you once again for your time 🙏🏻 ❤

[@tylerfukuda]

Hey man the design elements of these are BEAUTIFUL... Elegant, classy, yet youthful and original.

[@wrenside]

the DRZ O2R is a stunning design-love it! i am sorry the models i really like are sold out. but i guess that's a good problem rather than sitting on inventory that ain't moving. very best.

[@direnzowatches]

@@tylerfukuda thank you much! Is not for everyone but I’m proud of it ☺️Sergio

[@direnzowatches]

@@wrenside we’ll run another pre sale very soon (aprox April) just stay tuned. Thanks !

[@ulifluhme]

I can’t believe he didn’t know your watches - or he claimed he didn’t. We all did know them. 👏

[@crossen0]

I can't be the only one who appreciates the 'neat' reference. I know a few Aspen trees who would agree...

[@Cheeseiest1]

That's why I always pack some heat. I respect you, but I respect your distance.

[@YoureTerrific]

Watch out for mountain cougars and biting goats!

[@wren_wristshots]

Not too often you can get all this neatness in one location.

[@imperialwatchco.1353]

You are indeed a KZbin sensation Evan! Love seeing you check out such a wide array of watches and brands! Would love to get you hands on with one of our new models coming up to check out!

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Direnzo is always up to something interesting and thats great for the hobby

[@SteveFWatches]

Thank you for converting their currency into real money 👏🏼 providing hard hitting investigative journalism

[@YoureTerrific]

Dollar dollar bills, y’all.

[@dtroy15]

The dial definitely gives me 70's Timex retro-futuristic vibes. Very cool.

[@kevinkohler2750]

You ARE a KZbin Sensation (TM)! I'd call the look of this watch kinda mid-century modern, and I like it! A bunch of very cool design decisions on this watch.

[@davidsmithy123]

Never heard of them. They look cool and original. Pro tip: The DRZ 04 is actually not sold out ATM.

[@mtbkmaniac1]

Im going for the blue on bracelet with extra clasp. Also puting the leather strap in the cart as well. Also Direnzo is coming out with a rubber strap. I am looking forward to having a full kit.

[@deannoble673]

Another excellent video Evan I bought both the Eclipse and the Mondial and this is tempting. Big fan of what Sergio is doing with this brand. The designs might not be for everyone but you can't argue with the quality at this price point.

[@dultanur]

A design that's for everyone is arguably boring? I'd rather have this.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

Evan I love your picks and content bro, great job bro

[@WatchGeek]

Ryan strikes again!!! The 6:30 had me crying 😂😂

[@YoureTerrific]

Unless it's a digital watch, I guess.

[@paolosoddu9642]

I love your sweater even more

[@felo6035]

Fantastic review of a wonderful watch and brand. Just discovered your channel, Evan, and subscribed 👍

[@shawnholloway2410]

Tuesday is my favorite day!!!

[@TheSantiayo]

I think that manual mechanical watches are a bit more, sentimental, than automatic watches. You have to take the time to wind it, and some times it can create some special memories…

[@ronnienes]

Very cool indeed. I suspect you’ll also be getting questions about where you got your sweater with the leaf pattern on it. That is also very cool.

[@YoureTerrific]

A fancy, exclusive American store called Target.

[@ronnienes]

@@YoureTerrificI’m in Ireland and we don’t have Target. We have to make do with such small name behemoths as H&M and Zara.

[@d_ruby]

“And since now is the 2000s… I guess they were right?” So funny and so sharp.

[@benjaminvis]

Direnzo is arguably one of the top microbrands for consistent quality and very distinctive for consistent design that always brings something different that yet can measure up to hosts of more conventional alternatives. I know it's your style of reviewing, but honestly describing it as 'a little weird' is a bit dismissive of the achievement of the brand and its designer.

[@BGPaul]

Nice call back with knowing the meaning of “tonneau” in French. I’m happy my comments are good for something.

[@LiveLifeLarge851]

Great review, as usual, but what the hell is that sweater thing you are wearing? Did you do this video in your pajamas?

[@shahnhughes4558]

Oh the minute I saw the green dial version I checked my bank account. Did you have this at the Redbar meet up last night?

[@MrZanzibar123]

Love the DRZ03; this looks like a mash-up of all the existing Direnzo models.

[@Pilot_air_on]

Love how much lume it has

[@jmso786]

I just saw this on Direnzo's website and now I'm seeing your video? Is this...a sign? Do I have permission to buy another watch?

[@YoureTerrific]

You have my blessing.

[@marlowkaplan3584]

Cool watch.. that green pops

[@chrishennemeyer7276]

Another hellish (and super obscure) horological joke: Ladies and Gents, I present to you the MeisterSinger...let's give that watch a hand!

[@alaththar819]

😂

[@aounay]

It would fit in flawlessly with the TV show Hello Tomorrow! Billy Crudup might as well have worn this.

[@DrBrito]

What a great and beautiful piece! Honestly, I would prefer with automatic movement… anyways, I’m probably also too ordinary to buy a watch like this 😅

[@thedaveaftertomorrow]

The red dot on the crown is actually there so you know it’s the cellular version like the Apple Watch

[@Griffin1994]

Wake up babe, a new YoureTerrific just dropped 🍾

[@YoureTerrific]

Don't listen to him, babe. It's not worth it.

[@wrenside]

love hate love certain micro brands: cool design (love), sold out (hate). save money (love). thanks - will watch this watch brand.

[@michaelfierman3256]

But I have... in my microbrand craze in 2020 I almost bought one.... ( this one is their best looking one by far IMO )

[@mohsinrao4334]

Im seeing a Moser inspired watch here.

[@jelsner5077]

Love it on bracelet.

[@morgan97475]

Nice design. This has some H. Moser vibes going on....at least to me.

[@theenavybluemonster]

Fun watch!

[@andrewmetropoulos1692]

Lume filled trough. Yes.

[@karinochsenhofer9389]

I waited for the like Till the KZbin Sensation 😂

[@matspersson5188]

I love it.

[@renv9231]

I like the watch, not a fan of the shirt, the watch deserves better. Nice review.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Brilliant 👏

[@reddexred]

Where can i acquire one... pls anyone?!!

[@Penny2105]

38mm😱 looks very chunky. Small movement in chunky case!

[@spoonraker]

I win?

[@threethrushes]

Great video, but the watch doesn't do it for me aesthetically (unlike your seven inch wrist).

[@ClickyMister]

Hey, you’re funny.

[@bipennate]

I've heard of Direnzo. How's that crow taste, Evan? Bet you're embarrassed now!

[@YoureTerrific]

I’ve brought shame to my family.

[@rafaelfranciulli]

It´s gorgeous but that stain in the lume at the seconds dial on a u$d 1000 watch... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@direnzowatches]

Is not s stain, is the shadow of the red dot after applying the UV torch for video purposes

[@HRM.H]

Lmao why was my comment deleted? I just said it looked a bit like a Parmigiani, which is a compliment.. 😂

[@FourIntoOne]

I have heard of Direzo watches and,......ugh.

[@Timetrends-n5t]

Thanks but I move on to something else

[@gackerman99]

it's interesting, but there are too many Kickstarter microbrands out there nowadays. I don't know why the proliferation. There must be some incredibly low-friction Chinese supply chain that people are capitalizing on. I've even seen some companies exist purely to facilitate the creation of and implementation of microbrands. I wonder when too much is too much. There's nothing inherently wrong with the practice but it sort of dilutes the concept of watchmaking to me. These are curiosities purely of factory-made industrial design, which is fine. They're just a bit soulless to me. And now they're all getting a bit samey-samey even in their differences; modern hyper-colorful sports watches that belie their value with the occasional meteorite dial. No heritage, no real mechanical spirit, some pretty poor attempts to capitalize on hype...I dunno. Now that I'm writing this out I think I'm burnt out and generally negative on microbrands. Everyone has very specific taste and at some point goes "oh man, if only they did it this way..." and the people that end up DOING it that way obviously care. but...I don't anymore.

[@direnzowatches]

Who said Kickstarter ?

[@gackerman99]

@@direnzowatches it's a euphemism more than an actual category. there are a lot of microbrands on Kickstarter. this is general commentary more than it is specifically about your pieces. I don't know or really care if you did use kickstarter or any other crowdfunding service, that's not really the point. the point is that everyone and their mother has an idea for some watch design language, good or bad or somewhere in between, and it seems sufficiently easy to get that going now that we have WAY TOO MANY to even sort through. that's a good problem to have for most people, but it makes me want to go back to watchmaking's roots where people do their own mechanical engineering and have an established aesthetic language and heritage.

[@gackerman99]

@@IDKline Sure, but as a consumer, I can't tell the difference. It's just not interesting to me in any way.
