Oris Hölstein Edition 2025vsVario 1918 Medic Brass

The Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 is praised for its stealthy, everyday wearable design featuring a black DLC-coated case and a white dial with a playful hidden Oris Bear lume application. It is powered by the in-house Calibre 400 movement, offering a 120-hour power reserve and accuracy rated at -3/+5 seconds per day. The watch has a 41mm case with a 49mm lug-to-lug measurement and a 11.9mm thickness, presented on a black textile strap. It is a limited edition of 250 pieces, priced at CHF 4,150. On balance, reviewers highlight the Oris Hölstein Edition 2025's unique hidden lume detail and the robust in-house Calibre 400 movement as its primary strengths.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
