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 Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its in-house Calibre 403 movement offering a 120-hour power reserve and a 10-year warranty. Owners and reviewers highlight its good finishing, inspired dial design with luminous Arabic numerals, and the analog date complication for quick checks. The 40mm stainless steel case is 12.3mm thick with 50 meters of water resistance. Some owners find the 40mm size perfect, while others prefer the 36mm version. The deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily, and the higher price point compared to standard models is a point of discussion, with a noted owner concern about time-setting accuracy not yet addressed. Overall, owners and reviewers value the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 for its impressive performance and refreshed aesthetic at its price point.

Bell & Ross BR 03-92 DESERT TYPE

The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type features a 42mm black ceramic case and a sand-colored dial with a sandwich construction. It is powered by the BR Caliber 302 movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve. The dial has aviation-shaped hands and a photoluminescent lower insert. On balance, owners and reviewers note the distinctive dial and case construction of the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type.
