Pionier launched back in 2004 (founded in Germany), with the mindset to design and create luxury watches that offer quality, fantastic visuals and all at a reasonable price point (especially compared to giants in the industry such as Rolex, Omega or Tag Heuer). The brand boasts a vast collection of horological marvels that include mechanical skeleton styles, tourbillon, dual-time designs, calendar functionality and much more.
The Pionier brand is exclusively stocked by Tufina – a luxury retailer that offers a wide range of watch styles and designs, which since 1828 have ensured that gents around the world have enjoyed top-tier timepieces.
Browsing their extensive range, I found it a huge challenge to narrow down the options to just one watch. However, after much deliberation, I focused my attention on the GM-550-7 Chronograph model. In the following review, I will explore this eye-catching timepiece in more detail.
Style & Design
The watch manages to toe the line between classical good looks with a modern twist (hitting multiple market niches all at once), the 316L stainless steel casing (in 44mm) with black bezel, complementary white face, and chronograph functionality will make a bold statement amongst your peers. The bracelet offers a unique design with a butterfly clasp (for easy removal) and the extra pop of red detailing on the hands and sub-dials will draw the eye!
The GM-550-7 is also available in a number of different colours (depending on your preference), such as gold, black, blue and red and many more.
Construction
The GM-550-7 is fortunately no slouch when it comes to the inner workings, hand-assembled with the very best materials and parts on the market and includes a 2-year warranty for total peace of mind. The exact specifications are listed here –

Wearability & Comfort
Thanks to the timeless design of the Pionier Chronograph, you can seamlessly mix your beloved accessory into almost every style of outfit (regardless of the event or occasion). Whether you are rocking a tailored three-piece suit or a casual hoodie with denim, this watch will complement your look.
Comfort is always key when you are wearing a watch; many brands are guilty of selling models that are bulky, feature sharp edges or provide an uncomfortable strap. Fortunately, Tufina manages to avoid this particular misstep with great success. The metal strap wraps around your wrist with ease (remember to remove the correct number of links – ideally by a professional technician).
Value For Money
Watches undoubtedly come in all shapes and sizes (and of course different price points!). The Tufina stocked Pionier brand has somehow managed to offer the GM-550-7 for a fantastic rate, which will not break the bank, yet allow you to show off some striking wrist-candy!
After enjoying this beautiful timepiece on my wrist for the last few weeks, I discovered a delightful accessory that is strong and solid, able to withstand regular wear and tear while protecting its outstanding good looks.
Packaging
The watch is safely packaged within a solid black box (featuring a simple yet effective brand logo on top). The lid lifts off smoothly to reveal an inner box, which opens to display your brand new timepiece housed safely in a cut-out, velvet fabric inlay. This packaging is the ultimate finish for this beautiful watch, and something you can happily display amongst your designer pieces.
Overall
If you’re seeking a brand-new watch design that offers solid looks, high-end construction, and a more-than-reasonable price point, Tufina has the answer with the GM-550-7 Chronograph. Add this delightful model to your accessories collection today, and you will soon experience envious glances from your contemporaries as you humbly display your beloved luxury timepiece to the world.
