Nezumi Watches Review: Collections and My Picks

Nezumi makes the kind of watches I would look at when a conventional sports watch feels a little too predictable. There are racing-inspired chronographs, a compact field watch, a diver, and a traveler GMT, all connected by distinctive hands, carefully chosen colors, and a fondness for vintage design.

My starting point is the Voiture meca-quartz for the classic Nezumi look, Tonnerre for a smaller chronograph, or Baleine for an everyday watch with a 200m rating. My dedicated Nezumi Voiture review explores an earlier VQ3 generation; the specifications and galleries below cover the current lineup.

This guide covers all six current families, with separate cards for the meca-quartz and automatic Voiture. The galleries show all 16 references currently listed, using representative straps. Sold-out models and preorders are marked. My recommendations combine the existing review with current official information; I have not worn every watch featured here.

A Swedish Brand With A Designer’s Eye

Designer David Campo founded Nezumi in Stockholm in 2011, initially making denim and leather goods. Watches followed in 2015, when the Voiture launched through Kickstarter. That background makes sense to me: the appeal starts with the proportions, typography, and color combinations, rather than an elaborate complication.

According to Nezumi’s brand history, the watches are designed and engineered in Sweden, then assembled and tested in Germany. Movements come from specialist suppliers. The current range includes Seiko meca-quartz, Miyota automatics, and the Peacock automatic chronograph in the latest Voiture VM2.

The vintage-car influence is clearest in Voiture, but I like that the same design language carries into the quieter Terrain and the more colorful Aviera. There is a recognizable family resemblance without every model needing three subdials.

The Range At A Glance

Prices and availability were checked on October 22, 2026. These are the official storefront’s EUR prices; the strap, bundle, and delivery country can affect the final total. EU VAT is included where applicable, while non-EU import taxes and duties may be collected separately. Purchase links go directly to Nezumi. Gallery images are official brand photographs; the opening image shows the earlier Voiture from my dedicated review.

Meca-Quartz Or Automatic?

The distinction matters more than the similar-looking dials suggest. Voiture VQ4, Corbeau, and Tonnerre use the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz: battery-powered quartz timekeeping combined with a mechanical chronograph mechanism. It gives the stopwatch hand a smooth-looking sweep and a quick reset, while keeping the price below the automatic models.

Voiture VM2 is a fully mechanical automatic chronograph, with a Peacock SL-4801 column-wheel movement and an approximately 55-hour reserve. Baleine and Terrain use the Miyota 9039, while Aviera adds the travel-friendly Miyota 9075 GMT. I would choose meca-quartz for convenience and price, or automatic if the mechanical movement is part of the attraction.

Across the range, the basic ingredients are 316L steel, double-domed sapphire with internal anti-reflective coating, and 20mm lugs. Those are useful specifications, but they do not establish how every model feels or performs on the wrist. For a closer look at the design that started the watch collection, I would begin with my Voiture review.

Voiture Meca-Quartz: My First Stop

The Voiture is the Nezumi I would show someone first. Its tachymeter bezel, contrasting registers, and racing-style hands give it a convincing vintage character without making the dial feel anonymous. VQ4.101 in cream and black is my pick for the classic look; VQ4.601 in blue adds a little more personality.

All three current VQ4 colors share the same 40mm case and Seiko VK63 movement. A leather or canvas strap costs €503, while a bracelet brings the price to €569. My earlier VQ3 review remains useful for the design’s background, but the card here uses the current VQ4’s 12.75mm overall thickness.

Voiture Automatic: For The Mechanical Chronograph Appeal

The VM2 keeps the familiar Voiture shape while changing the proposition underneath it. Its Peacock SL-4801 is an automatic column-wheel chronograph, with an approximately 55-hour reserve. The case is 12.9mm including the sapphire crystal, so the move to a mechanical chronograph adds very little height compared with the current meca-quartz model.

I would lean toward VM2.202 for its quieter black-and-cream combination. VM2.1102 brings an orange chronograph hand and a more pronounced contrasting outer ring. Both are preorders at the time of writing: the first batch has sold out, so I would confirm the next dispatch estimate before ordering. These are the current Peacock-powered automatics, rather than the older hand-wound anniversary Voiture.

Corbeau: The More Rugged-Looking Chronograph

Corbeau uses the same VK63 movement and 40mm case width as the meca-quartz Voiture, but its rotating bezel changes the whole impression. I see it as the more utilitarian-looking alternative, especially on a steel bracelet.

CQ4.202 is the restrained black-and-cream option. CQ4.702 adds yellow and blue dial accents, with black DLC on the bezel, crown, pushers, and caseback; the main case remains steel-colored. I would choose the latter for something more playful. Its rotating bezel does not change the 50m rating, so I would follow Nezumi’s guidance to keep it out of the swimming pool.

Tonnerre: My Choice For A Smaller Chronograph

Tonnerre is where I would start if the 40mm chronographs look too large. Its 38mm width, 45.5mm lug-to-lug length, and 11.8mm overall thickness make it the smaller option on paper, while the telemeter scale gives it a different personality from Voiture’s tachymeter bezel.

The current catalog shows two colors: TQ2.102, with a light dial and blue accents, and TQ2.202, with a blue dial and light registers. I prefer the lighter version for the contrast and softer vintage appearance. Movement and pricing stay the same as the other meca-quartz collections, so choosing the smaller case does not require a higher budget.

Baleine: My Everyday Diver Pick

Baleine is my most straightforward recommendation for someone who likes Nezumi’s design but wants a watch for time around the water. It pairs a 200m rating and screw-down crown with the date-free Miyota 9039, in a 40mm case that measures 12.1mm including the crystal.

BA4.102 has a black dial and ceramic bezel insert. BA4.202 uses a grey dial and stainless-steel insert, and is limited to 300 numbered pieces. I like the grey version’s softer appearance, although black is the more conventional diver. Both start at €810 on rubber; the black watch is €898 on a bracelet, while the grey rubber-and-bracelet bundle is currently €941.

Aviera: The One I Would Consider For Travel

Aviera’s Miyota 9075 traveler GMT lets the local hour hand be adjusted independently, a useful arrangement when arriving in another time zone. It combines that function with a fixed 24-hour bezel, 200m rating, and screw-down crown. At 13.3mm including the crystal, it is the thickest watch in this guide.

The available option is AA3.133, with a black DLC case, green accents, and a bundle of green and black FKM rubber straps, currently €805. The conventional black AA3.102 and full-lume-dial AA3.302 remain in the catalog but are sold out. I include all three below; AA3.133 and AA3.302 are seasonal editions limited to 300 each, without individual numbering.

Terrain: The Simple Automatic To Watch For

Terrain strips things back to a clean dial, fixed bezel, and automatic Miyota 9039. Its 38mm case and 45.5mm lug-to-lug length are appealing if you prefer compact watches, and the 200m rating with a screw-down crown makes it a practical-looking daily option.

I would pick TA1.102 in black for versatility, or TA1.202 in blue for a little more color. Both are currently sold out, so this is a collection to keep an eye on rather than a watch I can recommend buying immediately. The listed prices are €726 on canvas and €792 on a bracelet.

What I Would Check Before Buying

Start with the case length and height. Tonnerre and Terrain are 45.5mm lug to lug; the other watches are 47mm. The 20mm lug width gives the range plenty of strap flexibility, but a thicker Aviera and a slimmer Tonnerre will sit differently even before changing the strap.

Treat the 50m chronographs as everyday watches for dry activities. Nezumi explicitly advises against swimming, showering, or submerging those models. For regular time around water, I would look at Baleine or Aviera, choose a suitable strap, and follow the crown and care instructions. Terrain offers the same 200m rating if it returns to stock.

Read the delivery and after-sales terms for your location. The official support page states a two-year limited warranty from purchase for the original buyer, covering manufacturing defects under its terms. It also describes a 14-day return-request window from receipt, with condition and packaging requirements. Watch orders include shipping, but non-EU taxes and duties can add to the total; VM2 preorders also need a separate check of the dispatch estimate.

Which Nezumi Would I Choose?

• For the clearest introduction to the brand: Voiture VQ4.101. The cream-and-black dial and racing details make it my starting point.
• For a smaller chronograph: Tonnerre TQ2.102, with its 38mm case and lighter dial.
• For a mechanical chronograph: Voiture VM2.202, provided the preorder timing works for you.
• For a bolder chronograph design: Corbeau CQ4.702, with its colored accents and black DLC details.
• For everyday use around water: Baleine BA4.102, or the grey BA4.202 if its steel bezel appeals more.
• For travel: Aviera AA3.133, the currently available GMT with both green and black rubber straps.

The Voiture remains my strongest introduction to Nezumi, and my dedicated review is the natural next read. Baleine and Tonnerre would be my next stops: one adds the practicality of a diver, while the other makes the chronograph formula more compact.
