Oris Year of the Horse Limited EditionvsBremont ALT1-WT

The Oris Year of the Horse Limited Edition is a 43mm dress watch powered by the in-house Calibre 113, offering a 10-day power reserve and an unconventional business calendar layout topped by a power reserve indicator marked with small horses. Reviewers praise the daring design and clever movement display, though the bold aesthetic and 43mm size make it a divisive piece — one reviewer found the overall look not to their personal taste. The watch retailed for $8,000. On balance, the Year of the Horse Limited Edition appeals to collectors who value distinctive design and horological innovation, but its commanding size and vibrant red dial limit its versatility.

The Bremont ALT1-WT is widely praised for its wearable 43mm size, legible dial with a globe background, and robust hardened steel case. Reviewers and owners highlight its well-executed world timer and chronograph functions, the satisfying click of its world timer bezel, and its value for money. Some find the hands can disappear in certain light conditions, and one owner notes a slight gap between the strap and case. The Bremont ALT1-WT uses a COSC-certified ETA/Valjoux 7750-based movement with a world timer module. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Bremont ALT1-WT highly for its practical combination of chronograph and world-time functions in a well-built, wearable package.
