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 GMT Sky Blue

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue for its excellent finishing, sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, and attractive blue sunray dial. It is noted to wear well on wrists under 6.5 inches. Some owners question its value proposition due to the Sellita movement, and one owner finds the crown can be fussy to use, while another notes sharp edges on the bracelet links. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue highly for its cohesive package and attractive case execution.
