The Best New Vintage Inspired Military Chronograph Under $300? - Dan Henry 1945 Watch Review

Following my last critical review of a Dan Henry watch I purchased, I return to this much loved brand to see if the quality has improved with an exclusive premiere of the Dan Henry 1945 Chronograph, a watch inspired by one of the most underrated (but highly acclaimed by enthusiasts in the know) watches of World War II. Is Dan Henry's tribute to the Jardur Bezelmeter-which was famously worn by Robert De Niro in the excellent 1998 film Ronin-another hit or a miss? Join me for another independent, in-depth review where I discuss the positives and negatives of this 2022 affordable release from a legend of the microbrand watch world.

One obstacle that DH seems to face for going mechanical is his focus on chronographs. If he introduced a vintage-inspired 3-hander with a Miyota or Seiko movement he could possibly hit a price range similar to the LACO Fliegers and thereby retain his moderate pricing approach. BTW, a watch review referencing both "Dunkirk" and "Ronin" is an achievement in itsself. 😉

[@theurbangentry]

Excellent point and I could not agree more. A weems style 3 hander would be my dream DH watch, call it the 1941 and in a 36mm size. As for your taste in cinema, outstanding my friend! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@zachcheung9906]

Honestly though, Dan probably wouldn't have any resistance if he were to create some automatic 3 handers. There are so many vintage pilots watches from the late 30s-mid 40s he can reference. Id love to see DH go super against the grain and release a 31-34mm piece too

[@trongnghiachu1977]

He just released the 1975 Skin Diver, which use the 9015 movement and cost 450 US dollars.

[@dararohan1209]

I agree. I wish the brand would also release a square/rectangle watch to match up with the ladies watch they recently made.

[@ExpeditedProductions]

So, so, so excited to see your review on this piece! Dan told me he was working on a really cool vintage pilot watch, but this is absolutely fantastic! Rather surprising turn of events to see the this is NOT a limited edition! Apparently, only the automatic pieces will be limited editions from now on. This takes what can be had for less than $300 to a whole new level! As always, TGV, you produce the best videos in the watch world available and this was no different. Thank you, my friend. Onward and upward! Be well!

[@juniorjohnson5961]

If your friends w!with Dan Henry please ask him to not put his name on the dial.

[@groovymcdude6805]

While he definitely has a thing for chronographs, I would love to see Dan Henry do some vintage inspired field watches. Lot's of material from various decades and wars to pull from.

[@theurbangentry]

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 YESSSSSS BEST IDEA SO FAR. Thank you. Best regards, TGV

[@daveroberts8751]

Totally agree. A three hander would be a welcome addition

[@laurencehogg6010]

Nice idea - would be ideal as a DH mechanical movement watch as well.

[@cosmodoc]

I’d like to see a GMT!

[@markcataldo1012]

Dang it TGV. I really didn't think I would put a Dan Henry in my collection and I also don't like jumping on watches to quickly. Your review and the fact I love my pilot watches just caused me to pull the trigger. The black one really is an awesome looking watch!

[@markcataldo1012]

So I received my 1945 and I have to say I am very happy with it. The quality really does exceed the price point. The 41.5 mm diameter size was a good decision. I know the original Jardur Bezelmeter was smaller but it would look small on larger wrists.There is a lot going on with the face, it can be a bit of a challenge to read. Good decision on a sound review.

[@thanoskiriakidis1549]

This review of this Dan Henry watch made me look at the brand again with a new set of eyes which resulted in me making a Dan Henry watch purchase. The Urban Gentry youtube channel is solidly the best in sharing the History of the brand, the artwork used, as well as the history of the movement. Your review of every watch is reliably good and I particular appreciate your review style which is tactfully fair, and has an artistic tone to it. Your love of watches is contagious!!!

[@triples4good]

I love this watch. I especially like the black dial version. I got an email from Dan Henry this past week about this offering. The price really surprised me being so affordable. Honestly I would be really surprised if Dan would be upset about your very honest review. Surely if he knew anything about you he would know that very honest and up front and truly that’s why I and so many more people take your reviews and critique to heart. Good point on the lighter strap, it might be a good idea to check on Hugo.

[@davidtrachtenberg7095]

After learning about Dan Henry watches from you, I purchased the 1937. It’s one of the favorites in my collection. Looks good in dressy situations….or with a t-shirt and shorts.

[@alvinmick218]

I really appreciate your coverage of Dan Henry watches! They are absolutely beautiful while yet remaining affordable. The glimpse of the 1937 was a complete stunner! Excellent video thank you.

Dan Henry watches are such a nice blend of aesthetic historicity with modern operations. His website, however, is the real treasure! What a resource of information.

👏👏👏👏 So true my friend, thank you John, I could not agree more. Best regards, TGV

[@chrisbradshaw7708]

I was hoping you would post a review of this watch soon. I've been admiring Dan's work and like so many of his pieces that it was hard to choose. I was leaning towards the 1964 Gran Turismo but THIS is love at first sight.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much my friend! Best regards, TGV

[@ii1cyber838]

Thank you for the dandy review. I ordered a no date black dial the day they were released and it arrived yesterday. Swapped out the strap for a regimental NATO that matches the colors. Makes for an eye-catching combination.

Another top quality professional review of a stunning affordable watch TGV. Thanks

[@realwarriorscholar]

I’m a big fan of DH watches. I bought the first release of the 1962. This one has my attention and those cathedral hands are stunning! I’ll be adding one to my collection.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Really fantastic watch for the price. Expect nothing less from Dan Henry now, they really know how to hit those vintage vibes.

[@ArniesTech]

Dan Henry is sharpening his game further and further 💪 He has understood watches, I see 🙏

[@bogrot69]

I love my Dan Henry Watches. I bought the 1964 which is my birth year. At 38mm it was smaller than what I was used to but after wearing it a few times it opened me up to wearing smaller watches in general. I do like this model and while I can appreciate the quartz keeping the costs down I think offering an auto option as well would make a lot of sense.

[@77cjam]

Definitely Dan always seems to make some great designs. Most things vintage usually gets a thumb's up 👍. Thanks once again for a very informative review sir

[@theurbangentry]

Always a pleasure my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@RogerMillerInVA]

I'm spellbound since I received my DH 1945. I haven't slept in three days ... Can't take my eyes away from that dial.

👏👏👏 Hearing such enjoyment makes me happy. May it continue and thank you for sharing! Best regards, TGV

[@mdrglxix3699]

Love Dan Henry as a brand, it gives me personally the chance to own great watches at an affordable price, I just wish he would come out with something other than chronographs, his dress watch and the 1970 are gorgeous but I wonder if we will ever see another attempt at something that's not a chrono. Thanks for the video, great job as always.

One of those watches I never stop thinking about. Many come and go but only the special stay in your mind. Keep up the great content.

Been waiting for this video ever since it was announced. It's such a beauty, hoping to add it to my collection!

[@jerryc6497]

Yes, love Dan Henry watches. And I just got another Seiko chronograph too, a SBTR029. Has an ice blue dial similar to a platinum daytona.

[@terryloh8583]

Love it...so close to just instantly hitting the order button for that one. If it was 39-40mm it would have been a done deal. Going to have to think on it. Thanks for another great review!

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

i have agree. the watch is great but 40 or 39mm with 20mm lug would have been much better. very nice looking watch, imo probably one of dans better creations.

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

​@Max E dan Henry makes great watches for the price. i like most of his designs. this one in particular i really like. i just wish it was sized down a bit even though my wrist is large enough to wear a 42mm. i would love to see him utilize a mechanical chronograph movement in one of these. id be willing to pay the extra costs to get the vintage look without the vintage reliability issues.

[@gito4130]

I got it today sadly on its way back tomorrow. I have a 7' wrist still this watch wears huge feels bigger than 41 more like 43 and the 22mm lugs don't help. I have the 1963 with perfect dimensions at 40 and 20 wears great. I don't understand how 1mm and 2mm on the lugs makes this watch so big.

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

@@gito4130 yeah i figured it would. Designs like this should always be 40mm or under. They tend to look awkward when they are on a larger scale. My wrist is 8" but i still wont buy it.

The intro clip was superb.

[@mkxperience8419]

Thanks TGV for the great review again and with a reference to a 2 awesome movie. You are one of the reviewers who knew the importance of what the watch would look outside in natural light and I thank you for that. I haven’t watched any of your videos recently since you announced you don’t know where the channel is headed, but I’ve watched some of your collaboration with Marc.

[@ChanahsCreativeEdits]

Always thought German pilots wore IWC and British wore Breitling. Dan Henry I guess is a homage to days gone past with modern construction and design. Btw Great presentation video. 1 of the Best horolgy channels

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much, you are very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@recallbj]

Got my 1945 yesterday and most say that its good value for money. Very quick/good customerservice (living in Sweden) so I ordered one more yesterday. Since I placed an order before your review, I have to say that I was not disappointed when it arrived and agree to most of your comment, but I choose to ordered the panda version since I have to many watches with black dial.

[@PaperOverPusy]

Really cool intro edit with the movie and watch. I’ve always loved watches but your passion really got me excited for them. Your videos have really helped me over the years making me feel part of the watch family you have built with your KZbin. Thanks again for the free content! ✌️

[@michaelkruszynski8524]

It looks amazing and a fantastic review, as always! Though I do wish it had a VK series Mecha-quartz (like the 1962-64) rather than this Miyota. The original 1963 had the same movement, I believe, and I didn't love it.

[@frankiesilverman]

Ronin is horribly underrated. One of my personal favorites, and some of the best car chase scenes in film imho. Watch is nice too. 🤣

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Agreed John Frankenheimer the director is one of the best. My favorite film 🎥 from him is Black Sunday 1977 with Robert Shaw and Bruce Dern

[@billmedic1995]

Ronin.,,,one of my all time favorite movies, for many reasons. And glad to see you’re still enjoying the Dan Henry line. I have two, the 1970 automatic compressor diver and the 1964 Gran Turismo chronograph you gave me years ago. I wear them both frequently and get lots of enjoyment out of them. Incredible value and very well-made, in my opinion.

[@michaelcompeau313]

A really splendid review, I must say. I bought the day of release and received mine yesterday, and it has not left my wrist -- quite a feat since I normally switch out watches 3+ times a day (I have over 400, so it's only fair to give them time!😅). I selected the silver subdial version (the so called Evil Panda), and I'm very happy with my choice. I had noticed the ghost position, but it does not bother me, knowing the likely efficiencies of standardizing elements of the components. Fantastic work on the history, the Jarpur relationship, and great use of B roll!! 🙌🏼 It was a pleasure to watch.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

I think these go beyond timepieces into works of art. Beautiful. Great review btw.

[@ryejack]

It's a good-looking pilot chrono watch, but the lug-to-lug is a bit large my wrist size. I'd love to see DH do a vintage-inspired field watch that is somehow set apart from the typical field watches we see a lot of. Maybe recreating an obscure field watch design from the 30's or 40's. Looking forward to seeing more releases from DH in the future.

[@Z-S-H]

Ordered one myself today, looking forward to getting an excellent chronograph with a telemeter scale!!!

[@jimmccaig7946]

The all black is stunning. Have a panda Speedie so luckily that itch is scratched. Great show as always, 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@bonnystarks]

I was looking for a DH, the previous one didn't really push me to buy one, mostly because the other model were more related to racing, since I am an airline pilot I dig the spitfire on the back and I'll find the use for the chrono during my flights. Thank you TGV, because of you, DH will be on my wrist in a couple of days !

[@alextomlinson1725]

I have eight DH's but this won't be the ninth. Just a bit too large for me - 2mm less lug-to-lug would probably have had me pulling the trigger however. Whilst a change of design ethos would be welcome, it's difficult to criticise Dan given the value proposition that his watches offer. An excellent and thought provoking review.

[@speedypaul2314]

How anyone identified de niros ronin watch just amazes me. Honestly hats off TGV. One of my favourite movies, reminds me of pulp fiction in one way.... What's in the case? Nice watch but I agree should be 38mm. I am really looking forward to some more watches from Dan Henry.

The 1/10 th seconds sub dial @ the three is FAR more useful than the idiotic 24 hour sub dial……it solves a problem that does not exist. Bravo Dan and thank you TGV for continuing to feature this brand. I will buy the 1972 soon because of your honest review and positive outcome and your update on it. That watch has a 12 hour sub dial. A truly useful dial if you for example, fly airplanes.

[@a.l.7902]

So glad to see it shares the same movement as the 1963 model!! I use the 1/10ths sub all the time. The size is great, everything is easy to read at a glance. I’ll be ordering this with the silver sub dials. I find that of the micros that I’ve added to my collection, DH offers a lot of watch for the price. Thanks for the review TGV!

Another brilliant video. Thank you, Tristano. Dan Henry keeps producing key pieces that are unique. I own the 1972, thanks to you, and I might be looking at the black dial 1945 in the future.

[@gito4130]

I got it today sadly sending it back tomorrow. Its gorgeous however be prepare it is big and it wears bigger more like a 43.The 22mm lugs dont help I have a 7" wrist so most watches will work for me but this one I can't do it.

[@CaptainRambunctious]

Absolutely superb! Right up my alley. However, I too would prefer a 39mm size… too small and a chrono has its details shrunk too small to be useful, but 39 would be top drawer! After all, the kipper keeps her knickers in the top drawer! Thanks again for such wonderful and detailed advice…

[@alessimunic]

Great take TGV. Agree 100%. As good as it looks, it's sadly to much of the same old, same old. And I love Dan Henry. I have a 1970 on the wrist right now and the 1964 in the drawer. I hope he exhausted the chronograph side of things and comes out with another legendary non-quartz 3-hander. I was so hoping this one would of been a classic field or flieger watch from that same period. In that case, I would already be waiting on the delivery of my 3rd Dan Henry.

[@neilingram3973]

I’ve never really considered a Dan Henry but I really like the look of the black version of this and it’s recreation of the Jardur, albeit a little bigger. I’m also surprised at the affordability of his watches, and having checked out the others in his range, I always had the idea they were a lot more expensive; there are some really nice watches in his portfolio. The 1945 is not for me at this moment in time, mainly due to budget restraints, but it is going in my wish list (in second place) as a future purchase. Great review…..👌🏻

[@alexm2113]

Definitely another winner by Dan Henry. As for upping the game, I think it'd be difficult for someone like Dan Henry to take on the likes of the Moonswatch as he doesn't have the manufacturing capability and other resources of the Swatch Group. That said however, Lorier is a great example of a microbrand that has done a fantastic job in vintage inspired watches with mechanical movements, especially with their Gemini chrono. I'd love to see Dan Henry go that route and offer some competition to Lorier on the mechanical front.

[@gito4130]

Just got the watch today I ordered both the 1945 and 1964. I have to say the dial detail applied markers colors and the cathedral hands are beautiful. However I will be returning the watch tomorrow. Im extremely disappointed on the size and the band color on the evil panda model. I asked if I could have the black band instead of the Hugo skin band and I was told they could not do it. Once I got the piece I fell in love with the design and details it is absolutely gorgeous however it is way to big it wears bigger than the 41 advertised and the 22mm lugs are not helping. If this watch was 38 to 40 with 20mm lugs I would have kept it even with the ugly band. I have a 7" wrist and it wears too big. Im keeping the 1964 I love the Breitling vibe I'm getting and the size is right. I put the 1945 and 1964 next to each other and the difference is significant. Too bad I love WWII horology. Dan Henry please keep the watches between 38 and 40 that is the sweet spot, im sure TGV concurs.

Have to say I really like this watch and think the black dial is great but the size is too much personally. It really should’ve been smaller and I’m not sure why it wasn’t made in a smaller size.

I really wish he wouldn't put his name on the dial he needs a logo or just his initials D/H

[@scottlewis2372]

To me, the only negative of this watch, given the price point, is 22mm lugs. I do think he's stepped up the finish quality compared to older models and the movement is a definite step up from the Seiko VK mechaquartz' with their silly 24 hour subdial. The dials and hands are truly stunning. Finally, at a price point similar to the MoonSwatch, this DH blows it out of the water.

[@mattys1467]

Great attention to detail and design. I do admire Dan Henry but for me I would prefer automatic movements. Excellent review 👏 👌

[@DaveMGmovies]

Agree TGV -- would be nice to see Dan try a mechanical movement even though that does push up the price. Other microbrands are coming in well under 1,000 bucks for very decent watches. (Have you see Astor + Banks for example. I bought one recently and was very impressed),

[@jeffventure6078]

Nice shout out for Ronin. One of the best thrillers.

[@MisterKnightly]

Your conclusion was, frankly, exceptionally well said. I quite like this watch myself and I'm going to mull over getting one. As a writer and historian I'm very much into names and nomenclature, and these micro brands with odd names strangely never seem to work for me. Obviously there's nothing wrong with "Dan Henry" as a name, there's something... oh, less than inspiring about it. But still... that watch is amazing.

Listening to you talking about this DH homage/tribute watch, the finishing quality, upping the game and the Moonswatch, all I could think about was Chinese watchmakers - it felt like the elephant in the room. Im not sure these themes can be covered fully now without acknowledging what's been achieved in such a remarkably short space of time by Cronos, San Martin et al. Maybe the time is right to feature one on the channel for comparison purposes - the San Martin SN095-G-X would be a good companion to these Dan Henrys. Thanks again and take care.
