What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Calibre 113

The Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 is noted for its distinctive mint green and rose pink dial, a 43mm stainless steel case, and an in-house hand-wound movement offering a 10-day power reserve. It includes a business calendar complication, day, date, and a non-linear power reserve indicator, with excellent readability provided by Super-LumiNova. One reviewer found the bold dial color potentially clashes with a business context and wished for a smaller case size. The Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 is priced at CHF 6,350 / €6,350 and includes a five-year warranty. Overall, reviewers highlight the Oris Big Crown Calibre 113's unique dial and extensive complications as its primary draw.

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.
