Erebus Watches
ActiveOverview
Erebus Watches is a microbrand founded in 2022 that produces original dive-style watches using Chinese-sourced cases and dials paired with Japanese movements. It targets affordable, robust timepieces for watch enthusiasts. The brand is run by its two founders who leverage their watch knowledge from content creation.
History
Erebus Watches was founded in 2022 by Jody Musgrove, a Scottish Australian YouTuber from the Just One More Watch channel, and Steven Parker. The company launched with the aim of creating high-quality, original watches based on their expertise. Its first collection, the Origin series, was released shortly after founding and has been featured in watch review videos.

Manufacturing
Products use Chinese-sourced cases and dials combined with Japanese movements. Assembly and production are outsourced, typical for microbrands. Components emphasize durability like lumed ceramic bezels and screw-down crowns.
Notable Products
- Erebus Origin - 41mm stainless steel dive watch with quick-change bracelet, signed screw-down crown, and lumed ceramic bezel.
Reputation
Erebus Watches receives positive feedback from enthusiasts for its solid construction, value, and features like micro-adjust clasps at microbrand prices. Reviews highlight the design and finishing as competitive in the affordable segment. As a new entrant tied to a watch YouTuber, it benefits from community exposure but lacks long-term track record.
