Review: the Lorier Astra
Since Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega started Lorier Watches in 2018, their stated goal has been to make a watch that you could wear everyday for the rest of your life. With the new Astra, they?ve come as close as ever to achieving that lofty goal.
For those few of you who may be unfamiliar with the brand, Lorier has, over the last five years, taken the enthusiast world by storm. Since their public unveiling in 2018, Lorier has produced a series of vintage inspired watches that punch way above their weight ? both in fit and finish, as well as design consideration.
I got my first Lorier, a Neptune V.2, in the fall of 2019 and wore it just about everyday for a year. It was the first dive watch that really stuck around in my collection and, during the early days of the pandemic, it was my constant companion. I adored that watch. With its bulbous Hesalite crystal and simple painted dial, it was undoubtedly the watch that taught me to love dive watches.

If you know me, or if you were to read my take on the ?3 Watch Collection for $5000,? it should be obvious that I still love dive watches. I wear a dive watch most days and would offer up that, pound for pound, doll...
