Classic Military Watch Inspired Perfection & The Best Microbrand Automatic Diver - NTH Näcken Review

Today I review a watch I bought last year on a whim. After borrowing one from my good friend and industry legend John Kiel, I was instantly hooked. As I am sure a lot of my viewers know, I have owned countless Tudor, Omega and Rolex dive watches over the years, so when I was introduced to the NTH Näcken line, I instantly understood this was no ordinary homage, but a tribute to an entire era of classic military dive watches.
With a big crown of a 1954 Rolex Submariner, the dial of a Marine Nationale Tudor Submariner 9411 or 9014, and the case like the previously reviewed 60s Omega Seamaster 300 166.0324, it has been tastefully brought bang up to date with modern materials and a quality that secures its dominance as one of, if not the best micro brand, military inspired, automatic 300m dive watches. In addition, its modest price of just over $600 can’t be beat.
So, today I dive in (forgive the pun!) and take a look with a full review, including what I like and don't about this super fun watch that set the record on its release of being the thinest 300m microbrand diver.

I've had my Nacken Modern Blue for 7-8 months and absolutely love it. Great quality and wears very well in my rotation. Sure, it's not of a Tudor Black Bay quality, my recent Black Bay Black in-house is 'outstanding' in the quality and feel, but for $500 (pre-order price) vs. $3k+ you're getting a stylish and good looking diver that wears well whether with jeans and tee, or slacks and shirt. Great review TGV!

[@TheGingerPyro]

Agreed, I’m wearing my Amphion Modern no date right now and I absolutely love it to bits, I have my complaints but it has thoroughly scratched my milsub itch, especially for the price I got it for

[@NTHWatches]

I am honored and humbled beyond words. Thank you, TGV. Chris "doc" Vail NTH

[@theurbangentry]

And I sir, am honoured in return! Thank you for creating something that has given me such enjoyment. Please keep up the good work, your comment here has made my day. Best regards, TGV

[@NTHWatches]

Stay tuned. More versions of the NTH Subs to be revealed soon. I'd love to show you the DevilRay, in production now. Very proud of the work our team did on that one.

[@CaligulavVv]

The Urban Gentry we need another run of this model!!!

[@CaligulavVv]

Rusty Mahony thanks Rusty, I'll take a look 👍

[@Woot-Zee]

This model has the date buried under the dial? You can still set it by the crown but it remains invisible because is covered? I see that is 9015, there is another model of this movement without date that you were using?

[@NTHWatches]

For whatever it's worth, the bracelet does taper, from 20mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp. It's not straight, but of course it doesn't have the more dramatic 20mm-16mm taper some bracelets have, which is more noticeable. In our view, our steel bezel inserts are a better material choice than ceramic or sapphire, which are more scratch-resistant, but also more brittle, and can be cracked or shattered, unlike steel. If a steel bezel is damaged, it's much easier to replace than a ceramic or sapphire insert, which may require an entirely new bezel assembly, not just the insert. Our bezels are PVD/DLC coated with the highest thickness coverage, for maximum long-term durability. They hold up very well to all sorts of abuse. We've used expansion clasps on other models, but they're thick - 7mm, and expensive, whereas the focus for the NTH Subs was on thinness, as well as affordability.

[@mrjolly8680]

But you won’t sell me a replacement bezel inlay !!

[@excelerater]

I bought one ,i felt the bracelet was cheap light flimsy and unimpressive . The bezel clicks rough too. For the price I was disappointed.

[@dinner_workingsly]

I have several ceramic insert watches with pretty light wear and I have fractures in a couple of them. I prefer a SS insert anymore. As for the extension clasp...no thanks. Clunky and unnecessary for 99.9% of the time you wear the watch. I realize I run the risk of sounding like a fan boy, but there isn’t anything I can think of that I want different on any of the models. Fit and finish is spot on, and quality is there. The rest is looks, like it or ya don’t. I hope most people know what they like before a purchase. I could say I wish they were less expensive, but I think that the level of quality represents a fair price. The cardholder is cool and useful....but here lies my complaint, I want an NTH decal.

[@UnderSurveillanceAP]

I really appreciate that The Urban Gentry reviews fine watches at varying price points that are accessible to a broad audience who enjoy quality even if they cannot afford exclusivity.

[@jcolem5576]

Yes Sir me too. I've always appreciated that fact. Not everyone can afford the higher end Swiss brands they're just too far out of reach for most people. A lot of really good quality watches out there now for under $1,000.

[@hypnovike]

I don't have the specific model you have, but I do have their Scorpène and I adore it! Doc makes one hell of a product and he is always very transparent!

[@VictorLopez-de9wy]

I've got two NTHs because of your review. I came back to the video with a smile on my face. Thank You do much, I love your channel. :)

[@SgtHooch]

Just picked up a pre-owned Nacken No Date. It's so much nicer than I thought. I only learned about it last this month from watching Urban Gentry YT reviews. I am so glad I found one! Thanks for doing this video.

[@KDL917]

I love the color and I love the Tudor sub/diver look, so this is all good in my book. Looks like a great buy for the price. Thanks for bringing more brands to the fore, TGV.

[@KiiMoO10]

Hi TGV! I started watching your channel a couple of months ago and you really changed my life in terms of enjoying the finer things in life. I do like listening to classical music once in a while and of course stepped up my watch game immensely. I went from fashion watches (DW, Boss, Armani) to a Seiko 5 on a Bond Nato and just recently a blue Omega Seamaster 300m with the ceramic bezel and Im absolutely chuffed to bits, Im over the moon! ;-) Next up is a classy Rolex but Im unsure which one to go for. Im thinking Datejust (Blue or Gold) or Oyster Perpetual. Thank you very very much for your amazing content, you have a really inspiring personality. Best Regards from Austria! Kimo

[@rickewilde]

Thank you for drawing my attention to a micro brand.its limited availability makes it very unique and niche.it is a little gem of a timepiece.a great talking point for anyone into wristwatches.

[@tenorbanjoguy]

Excellent review as always! Wonderful watch, wish I could own them all but 6 is the limit! I did purchase my first "microbrand" watch a few months ago...the Ginault Ocean Rover (killer homage!) It is a really fun market segment and the NTH is an excellent example of the fun that the microbrands bring to the table! Bravo!

[@kindredwinecoff]

Every product Chris Vail makes is not only of high technical quality but is exceptionally well thought-out in terms of design *and* performance. It's amazing the value you get with his pieces. At the time this watch was made I believe it was -- and maybe still is? -- the thinnest 300m-rated dive watch on the market. At any price level. That's typical for him: find a way to contribute to the market of enthusiasts, and then over-deliver.

[@chiliprepper7678]

Wow How did I miss this post?. I used to do this work in the 80s. Great intro footage. Could have been me. Must show to my daughters. "This is what dad used to do" . Still have my Dive Helmet. 👍

[@adibee88]

Great review TGV! I appreciate the construction of this model and the concept of one watch encompassing a whole time period! I own a Tudor Black Bay, 79220B. The snowflake hands were one of the reasons I fell in love with my Tudor! Surprisingly, critics may knock the snowflake hands on the NTH, I find it flattering that the Tudor hands were selected to be used on this watch. I do agree, Chris should have done some engraving on the case back, it would look more complete!

[@elischimvanderloeff9590]

Another fantastic video, thanks Tristano! Sometimes I feel it’s a shame so little people are into horology. All your effort and great observations could be enjoyed by many more of us. On the other side to me there’s a sort of romance to a passion like horology being as small as it is, it keeps it exclusively to those who really like it. Also, we would not have the utter surprise and joy of meeting a fellow watch geek ‘in the wild’. As you always say, onwards and upwards! Eli

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Eli, glad you enjoyed it and deeply honoured by your comment. Onwards and upwards my friend! Best regards, TGV

[@silajeep1]

Love your intros TGV, quality production values in this video into. And a great watch, and I'm planning to buy the date version of this watch asap!

[@edteach3r]

I keep coming back to this excellent review and historical overview as I adore this NTH. I had to buy a Näcken (mine with a date discreetly at 6) when this video origally came out. TGV is a real "influencer" as I have bought 6 watches based soley on his recommendations and I have never been disappointed.

[@nicholasortiz5880]

Greeting Governor! I'm happy to share with you two of my most recent watch purchases! I now am the proud owner of the Orient Ray Raven 2 and the Orient Bambino Gen 2, cream dial with blue hands. I will openly say that your video reviews surely helped me commit to my purchases. I have been a long time viewer of yours; however, I am a fairly new collector of "real" watches. This is referring to my endeavor of purchasing non-fashion watches with real movements. As a college student, these two watches strike my budget just right and mark the start to my new collection and I have you to thank. Let the obsession begin! Cheers TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

Congrats Nicholas, two cracking pick watches you have there! Knowing I helped in anyways at all makes me incredibly happy. Enjoy the joinery and your new watches my friend, thank you for sharing that too, it inspires me greatly. Best regards, TGV

[@mikemantho9426]

Nicholas Ortiz I love my Ray Raven 2, great looks and performance for the price. Congrats on the start of your collection!

[@Abhikpr.]

Beautiful watch. I might buy this as a congratulatory gift to myself since I just purchased my second business. It’ll be a great everyday watch. That blue on the bezel is gorgeous.

[@ima640]

Stunning watch. Love it. The blue is seriously cool. And your probably not going to meet anyone else wearing one. Great video.

[@pierrezapata90]

I really enjoy your videos. I tune in all the time. Such attention to detail. I know this is obviously a watch review, but I love the fact that you have a map as the background on your table where you are reviewing these things along with little military figurines and your folding knife. Little things like that make your videos classy, compared to some random other guy doing a review with a plain old table yapping on...I can't believe I'm talking about this of all things, but I thought I'd tell you it's appreciated

[@bubbab7792]

A cracken intro as usual TGV, loved it. Love your imagination, great depth . The Nacken is a nod to several respected divers. Knock off? I say not. You speak of your nightly sleep interruptions and checking the time. I would say you explore a nixie clock, a great homage to the 80's and the beautiful nixie tubes. I purchased a nixie watch which I adore amd unique . Great show. Best regards.

[@DRFunny-nh4mg]

Homage watches is great ! i really think that honouring different models that really marked the timeline with greatness, is a superb idea. i will never look down on anyone with a homage.

[@27andya]

Order placed. Thanks for the great review!

[@theurbangentry]

Congrats Andy, enjoy! Thank you, please keep me posted! I hope it gives you as much enjoyment as this one has for me. Best regards, TGV

[@DiDeChannel]

Stunning watch! I absolutely fell in love with it, I'm definitely going to buy one.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, helping somebody fall in love with a watch makes it all worth it. I hope you get as much enjoyment as I have from it. Thank you Daviid, Best regards, TGV

[@felgercarb3803]

Thank you so much for this review. I was saving up for a Tudor Black bay, but now I will get this one and still have plenty off money left over for a nice dinner date😂

[@paulodr33]

Shoutout from the Philippines! I noticed your nice little map there of Bataan, the last US stronghold in the island of Luzon before the Japanese overrun it in 1942. Don't get me wrong, I love Japan and the Japanese people (and Japanese watches. Haha). Cheers, TGV!

[@78monte94]

I honestly wasn’t really a fan of this watch until I watched this video and now I am a huge fan!

[@iamlamle]

I love this case, perfect size for my wrist too. Amazing lume

[@guitarmike1968]

Wow. Your lead ins are just getting phenomenal TGV. So so well done my friend!!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you sir! Very much appreciated. Best regards, TGV

[@brecheisen3108]

Nice intro. Very professional. And a cool watch. Maybe I have to put the trigger on one of these. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Switzerland!

[@nickrantz9]

TGV what are your views on Hallios. I've been following them recently and am very interested. Have you had any experience with the watches, brand or founder?

[@vgun5457]

Cracking review! Whats the crud above the crown, underneath the bezel that can be seen at 3.52? Or is it a reflection?

[@nimblejack]

"but guys, I buy watches for enjoyment; I don't buy watches for any other reason." So the question of whether a watch is a good watch or not rests soley on whether you enjoy the watch. Let's stop being snobs and start sharing enjoyment. Well said TGV.

[@darkangelshub]

Good evening, I am a recently new watch enthusiast (2months in, at the age of 45, already with a collection of 6 Seikos, 2 kinetic GMT's, the other 4 automatics, 1 of which is one just to pull apart and digest the workings of horology), as I am now looking at more detail into watches to add to my collection, I was wondering about the Soprod -V- the ETA movements, as I am finding conflicting advice. Could you possibly help clear up which would be the better, more reliable movement to go for ! ... Thank you in advance.

[@triples4good]

I have said a few times before, your intros are just outstanding, but, I think you might have outdone yourself on this one. Review is spot on. As chance would have it, I think I got the last one before the preorder. I love it. I have been wearing it quite a bit, but just got my Sinn 104. But it couldn't agree more with your assessment of this very cool, classic time piece. Thanks very much for all your work to produce such stellar content. Cheers.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Steve, your comment brings a massive smile to my face. I must admit, I spent waaaaaaaaay to much time on this intro! LOL I hope you are well my friend, Best regards, TGV

[@shawnchinnery663]

That NTN super compressor style watch was right up my alley....cheers mate

[@theurbangentry]

Always a pleasure Shawn,That one is amazing too. I had a brief look at one in a previous video with John Kiel, Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@jasonplocek-gunnysgt-fuxu1924]

As always a great review. Maybe just me but for the current asking price why not just add another $300 and get a Squale 50 Atmos. In my humble opinion you are getting a much better movement, amazing Squale case and the heritage that comes with owning a Squale. Keep up the good work TGV and thanks for what you do.

[@docholliday4292]

Jason Plocek Good points, i would go for a good Seiko or save the extra up for a Squale.

[@larx4074]

Positively nailed it in your summation of a very high quality, superbly styled & crafted watch - you can probably tell from my thinly veiled enthusiasm that I have one, an Amphion Vintage Blue, a watch so cool and beautiful that it's an almost constant companion since I recently acquired it, not for sleeping in tho' !! Enjoy, TGV and thanks for the splendid review. Cheers, Alan

[@andyv3965]

Great video as always! Lovely watch, love that blue.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear. Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@triples4good]

I just revisited this video. I had to have my Nacken serviced. I think it must have taken a few hard knocks in shipping. John at Watchgauge and the folks at Janus Service have been Absolutely fantastic. Superb customer service and experience all around. It so refreshing to receive that levels of customer care. Thanks so much for recommending NTH. It has become one of my favorite pieces. Cheers

[@theurbangentry]

So please to hear that Steve, great guys, truly honorable people, so rare these days! As for your Nacky (forgive me lol), enjoy it, I shall wear mine tomorrow in your honour. Thank you Steve. Best regards, TGV

[@triples4good]

The Urban Gentry lol. Thanks very much. I'm honored. Cheers.

[@pinepig]

Excellent review TGV! The cases on the NTH subs are to die for. The steel bezel is outstanding as well. My biggest gripes are the intact date wheel under the no-date dial, and the gimmicky lumed crown. I would prefer to pay a little extra for a Seiko NE15 movement as well.

[@alex_mountainbiker_dude7371]

That watch is so gorgeous. I love the blue bezel.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Alexander :D Best regards, TGV

[@michielcastelijns3273]

Planned to buy a modified SKX, but then found your review on the blue Nacken. Found one on Ebay, it is stunning, thanks!!!

[@drewsykes8152]

I’d promised myself not to buy any more watches for at least 6 months but couldn’t resist a slender no date 40mm vintage inspired diver and got in on Watch Gauge’s reissue. Perfect daily summer wear with that azure blue and drilled lug holes to play around with some different straps. Going to have to get an olive nato now.... Oh man

[@kylestewart4444]

I just got incredibly lucky and sealed the deal on a barely worn, no date, vintage black Barracuda at 4:30 this morning. The seller is in Australia and had listed it only about an hour before I saw it. Since it had only been up for an hour in the middle of the night, it had no bids so I submitted a very good offer right away and it was accepted within minutes. That timing was just perfect and I cannot wait for it to arrive.

What's your opinion on the Hamilton khaki mechanical? Looking for a classic smaller size field watch with some history behind it, and I always come back to the khaki mechanical. Do you have any recommendations of a similar style watch? Greetings from Sweden!

[@astrogen1960]

My goodness, that chocolate dial version is tempting me! This is off subject TGV, but I so love seeing that Benchmade butterfly logo staring up at me from your presentation area. I believe it's knifemaking's equivalent of a Rolex Crown logo and really adds so much class to your review desk. I've been looking at mine for 20 years and always fills me with pride to know I own the very quill of knifemaking . . such a precision tool!

[@eusupporter8438]

A homage to an entire age. Well said. To represent a whole era is a great thing and not easy to do. Thank you for showing this fantastic rarely shown watch.

[@theurbangentry]

[@rachelw6822]

Very appealing - simple, smart, and very much a watch of the world made to be used.

Another great video and homage to TUDOR Submariner dive watches. Nothing wrong with it. Quality looks excellent and really if you can't afford an original Tudor or Submariner, why not get this one? It's a no brainer. I'd love one for sure. Thanks for the review TGV. Another brand I had never heard of. Awesome.

[@hogandori]

Looks especially stunning with your 'lucky zulu. I'm just waiting for the next preorder to become available.

I have been looking for a new watch for everyday wear. I need to give my Squale a break from time to time))) The NTH just may be the one. Back when I was was on active duty in the Marine Corps, I had a Glycine and a Marathon. In fact I still wear these brands, just updated versions. Semper Fi

[@VersedNJ]

Recently got the NTH Nacken in Modern Blue, no date (with this watch you really don't want one" And only complaint I have is getting the bracelet back on, it was easy to size, they do include. Keeps great time. Only issue is getting the bracelet re attached, sizing was easy. NTH tosses in a nice set of U shappded 22mm spring bars that went in easy, sp hsae it on a good matching NATO till I get get to the watch/jewelry store, cough up the $15-20 and have them toss it on, good for sizing for a year, didn't want to scratch the watch or bracelet on by

[@robertjschroff6307]

It is a great, stunning diver watch! I think, every diver watch has its own character, even if the certain function requires typical visual elements which should not be modified too much. It means similarity between different divers just because of the same purpose of diving, while the individual character comes through beautifully as well. It means double enjoyment at each of the timepieces, especially if we are able to compare them. Dear Tristano! It is a great new review with tremendous intro and music! P.S: I thought I am the only lad in the World sleeping with wrist watch, lol. :) Thanks, Robert

Thank you Robert, deeply appreciated my friend. Best regards, TGV

Thank you Peter, that coming from you sir means a lot, I hope they see this comment! I could not agree more. Best regards, TGV

[@BenA_DD]

Swap the miyota for an ETA or sellita and I'd be sold instantly. Great watch with interesting details, but I feel 600+ is too much for a miyota. Great video as usual TGV.

[@theurbangentry]

Very good point, personally I prefer the 9015 in this case. It gives it a slender profile and I have to confess, I am tired of chunky divers, this was a breath of fresh air, otherwise I would normally agree with you! Thank you Ben, glad you enjoyed it Best regards, TGV

[@RM-Atticus74]

Swap the 9015 for an ETA or Sellita and you get 13mm+ thickness (and potential handwind issues with the ETA). A watch is worth much more than what's on the inside - which in this case is a reliable, smooth-sweeping machine.

[@JB-fl2gp]

@@RM-Atticus74 how thick is the glycine combat sub with the ETA 2824-2?

[@RM-Atticus74]

@@JB-fl2gp Lower water resistance makes it an apples to oranges comparison. The 2824 is 4.6mm thick vs the 9015 at 3.9. No way you're squeezing it in a case thinner than the NTH without lowering the WR.

[@johnprice909]

Chris Vail does a great job of designing watches. I feel bad that I don't own any of his creations right now (I've owned 2 in the past). But this year I WILL hunt down an NTH Azores and perhaps even this model Nacken that you've reviewed - that blue is very cool. Thanks for the review Tristano. Ciao, John

[@theurbangentry]

John!!! Always brightens my day to hear from you sir. Get the Azores, its stunning and perhaps even more bang per buck. Have you seen the "vintage" version of the Nacky (yes, I have started doing that with the name LOL) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

Great review TGV! I own the NTH Näcken Vintage Black and I totally agree with your review comments on the watch. I own watches that a lot more expensive than this NTH, but I have to say this right at the very top of my favourites as it looks great, has excellent build quality and more importantly, living with the watch is incredibly enjoyable, largely because of it's sizing and design - A real winner!!

[@ceadvm]

Great review as usual. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Halios Seaforth. A possible contender of the NTH??

Does anyone know what brand strap that is? On the Nacken I mean. Is that an NDC one?

Smashing review video as always TGV! I think I like everything about the watch except for the all white hands, I'd prefer some metal on the edges of them. Also, the case back as you mentioned and the fact that they're produced in China, recently purchased a Armogan Le Mans which I thought was produced in Luxembourg only to find out upon arrival that their produced in China but designed in Luxembourg, that was a huge let down for me personally. All of that side, I gear more toward your side of preferring slimmer profile divers. Quick question, what are your thoughts of the brands; Out of Order (damaged in Italy) and Deep Blue watches?

Love the review! I am going to order the Nacken v3. Can you share where you get your NATO straps?

[@scottyee707]

the lume sold it, this is a watch I can wear while working.

I got the last blue, non-date that was left on Janis Trading. Just a great watch. Understated, with the great, measured nod to military style and the divers of the 50's and 60's. I generally eschew divers on a leather watch strap but I'm seriously considering either a shark or stingray band.

Love your story with this watch but i'm craving the video about your AP :p

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, hopefully soon my friend! Bear with me, I am rather behind with the videos. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@davelim97]

I have to admit I have a bed time watch as well. You can't beat the marathon navigator for that.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, I adore Marathon, well, as you know! Good night sir. Best regards, TGV
