My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
My charcoal Atwood arrived a couple of days ago and it’s incredible! Perfect complement to my white Humboldt GMT. Chase and his team really go the extra mile and deliver a killer product with great story behind it. Can happily confirm, the Atwood KICKS A$$!
@@martinbauer3877 what I don't get is how is that. Sellita only lists that caliber as a bicompax. I guess Oak and Oscar didn't modify it, they'd surely mention such an achievement. I'm not sure if that would be possible at all.

Just subscribed for updates on the Olympia after reading your comment. Only concern is that I've never had a watch with hesalite glass. Any opinion on that?
@@megacabI have an Olympia and have also had a Neptune for like 3 years now, and I love acrylic! Looks amazing, and scratches can be polished out very easily
Evan, I've heard that "flyback" refers not to the chrono hand flying back, but the aviator wearing the watch. It's a feature for a return flight. Of a bombing run. I can't find if that's true.
Hi there! The flyback feature was used by pilots to help them navigate. It was much easier, faster and accurate for them to hit just one button (while wearing thick gloves to keep their hands warm at altitude) rather than the standard start / stop / reset. BUT, I do see the logic of your comment too. Could be a little bit of both?
@@oakandoscar Your explanation supports what I've heard (from another watch guy). "Flyback" seems like a marketing term to me, and those have usually a singular origin. The first one was Breguet, wasn't it? I'll look into it...
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you MAMACOO for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
Do they test all of their watches for 100 meters (either all or selected random samples throughout the year) and then say 50 meters on them? I'm just curious.
Hi Rouben! All watches are tested at 5atm WR. A random sampling are tested at 10atm. Everything (case, gaskets, thickness of the sapphire etc) is rated for 5atm so that is what we officially go with.
Hi there @fieldwalker ! Chase here from Oak & Oscar. The center seconds hand will automatically reset, and stop, at 12 if the chrono function isn't running. When it is running and you hit the reset pusher it will reset to 12 and then keep going. If you hit stop, then reset, it will reset to 12 and stop like a standard chronograph. Hope that helps and doesn't add to any confusion. It's hard to write about how it works...happy to jump on a video call and show you!
@@oakandoscar was he maybe asking if the caliber can take leaving the chrono run all the time? The answer to that is yes. It will not break the movement. It will probably lower chronometry and surely shorten power reserve. A few extra pieces will show some wear, but similar to that of the pieces showing the time...
There's a whole lot of value packed into the Atwood with the bespoke AMT5100 and the high quality materials. You'll find other flyback chronos with a similar quality at higher prices. Plus, we do all of our servicing in-house right here in Chicago by our own watchmaker. But yeah, it's not a cheap watch but it's worth it to those that value what we've been doing for the past nearly 10 years.
Thank you! We're very proud of the Atwood and are so thankful for the positive response from folks. Feel free to reach out if you've got any questions!
Nice to see MAMACOO show a watch that can be afforded by almost anyone rather than these pieces costing thousands and thousands which are out of reach for so many.
There's something so nice and satisfying about a manually wound chronograph. I think it goes back to my love of the Speedy. Manually wound just feels right to us. Plus, it helps keep this watch the thinnest chronograph using this movement. Win win!
@ I appreciate your response, and as I’m new to some aspects of chronographs (like the fact that a Speedy crown doesn’t screw in), that does make the manual winding more practical. So I did what any normal watch nerd does-went to your website. And signed up for updates. And am very impressed with your Atwood, and damn it, maybe a bit too interested now 😄. Never let it be said I don’t have an open mind.
Quick... RELEASE?! Spring bars?! Nononononononononononononononononojonononono. Fixed or screwed only for the sporty people =] It's one of their best details imo.
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."
funny enough the "Oscar" part is named after my almost 12 year old dog. The "Oak" part comes from my love of bourbon, which is aged in oak barrels. Both are pretty awesome.
Glad you like the watch! And yeah, it's not cheap. But there is a ton of quality and true horological goodness packed in to the Atwood. Not to mention a lot of blood, sweat and tears!
If it was a thousand dollars cheaper, I might consider it but for a no name brand that’s not even automatic, it’s a ripoff even with the flyback function.
I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for AMZWATCH watch makers

AMZWATCH's always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of watch 99% of people will never see.
Hanhart is using the same movement in the 417 ES Flyback which has a similar size and price point as the Atwood
Yep. The difference is that the Hanhart has two registers rather than 3.

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of MAMACOO. Their watches are of exceptional quality.
I’m still waiting on one of these microbands to make me a 36mm chronograph. We pretty much never get those.
I'm genuinely impressed with how close AMZWATCH were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
Great video once again! Would love to see a video on the Lorier Olympia - seems similar, yet slimmer and cheaper!
Just subscribed for updates on the Olympia after reading your comment. Only concern is that I've never had a watch with hesalite glass. Any opinion on that?

So many good American microbrands now, from Monta and Oak and Oscar to Lorier, Traska, Nodus...the list goes on. O&O might be next up for me.
Yessir! A bunch of amazing brands out there all doing fun things! Would be a pleasure to welcome you as an Owner! Thank you!
Love MAMACOO watch，Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
Love my Oak and Oscar GMT titanium, love the company, appreciate Chase and his team. And the movement hums.
Thanks Martin! That means a lot to all of us! - Chase

Do quick release spring bars work with nato straps though?
You had me at drab.
Oh no stop I like it. Maybe if I sell that Seiko SRQ047 that you told us not to buy recently I could get this instead 😂

Funk music and Flyback. I see what you did there.
Yes... Of course I know what you're talking about, but why don't you explain it for everyone else.
Is it designed to keep the chronograph running? Otherwise troublesome trying to get second hand at 12 I’d think

$2,650 - madness! The microbrand world is charging what luxury brands charged not so long ago.

That's true, the other Selita powered flybacks seems to be bicompax.

Sean Connery at 6'2" 190ish wore a 36 mm watch.

But manually wound instead of automatic? Along with the price, a big miss in what otherwise is an impressive watch
