Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Heimdallr PVD Black SKX007 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Heimdallr PVD Black SKX007 Automatic Watch for its excellent value, with many considering it a delightful and guilt-free homage. Reviewers and owners alike commend its amazing look, great quality control, and smooth crown engagement, alongside excellent bezel action with no back play. Some owners report satisfaction with the hacking and hand-winding Hangzhou 2565A movement, noting good regulation and accuracy ranging from +6 seconds per day to well-regulated performance. The orange dial's color saturation is considered remarkably close to its inspiration, and the black PVD case and lumed bezel options are appreciated. However, some owners find the watch uncomfortable due to its weight and sharp edges, and one owner noted a misaligned dial and bezel on a replacement unit. The bracelet uses pins rather than screws, and the clasp size differs from the band width, though it is still considered good quality and solid.
