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.

Dan Henry 1970

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1970 for its striking looks, particularly the art deco hands and fantastic crystal. The 44mm size is noted as a drawback for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner reported strap change marks inside the lugs and a small mark on the clasp. The watch features a 41-hour power reserve and 200-meter water resistance. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1970 highly for its distinctive vintage-inspired design and value at $295.
