Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403vsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz

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.

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its heritage reissue design, small and thin case, and good looks for the price, with some noting exceptional build quality, tactile pushers, and a substantial feel. However, the quartz movement's ticking smoothness and the 24-hour subdial, which functions as an AM/PM indicator rather than a totalizer, are points of criticism for some, leading to perceptions of it being overpriced. Owners report mixed experiences with quality control, with some noting alignment issues, crooked indices, and dial rotation when pushers are depressed, while others report no such issues. On balance, owners appreciate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its distinctive vintage styling and wearability, despite some concerns regarding quality control and the functionality of its subdial.
