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 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels. However, some owners report minor time-setting issues, and the 50-meter water resistance is considered underwhelming by one reviewer, who also notes the deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 highly for its impressive power reserve and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The 5-day power reserve of the new in-house Calibre 403 movement is a key strength. Reviewers noted the comfortable H-link bracelet and vibrant dial color options.

Bell & Ross BR-05 Diamond

Owners widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 Diamond's design and build quality, noting its comfortable wearability and a less derivative appearance in person. The contrast between brushed and polished finishes, along with the blue sunray dial, contributes to its appeal as a versatile integrated steel sports watch. Some owners, however, find the crown to be a bit fussy and criticize the high price relative to the SW300-1 movement. On balance, owners rate the Bell & Ross BR-05 Diamond highly for its striking design and versatile wearability.
