The First Lorier Hydra Series II In-Depth Review- Why It’s The Best Microbrand Diver at $500 - 4K

Why choose this $500 Lorier Hydra Series II, a super compressor dive watch that was inspired by vintage Omega Seamasters, Longines, and LeCoultre over brands like Seiko, Citizen, Baltic, Yema, Zelos, and other microbrands when they offer a sapphire crystal and bigger depth ratings? A watch is far more than numbers on paper and let me explain why I would not only choose this Lorier over the others but why I think this watch is the best watch you can buy for $500. Period.
