Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403vsBremont Supernova

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.

The Bremont Supernova is praised for its new ENG375 movement, big date, and power reserve indicator, with its 40mm steel case featuring mixed finishing and an integrated bracelet. Owners note good but not great lume, well-balanced proportions, and a premium feel for its price, despite a 173-gram weight. Some community members find the design derivative and the £8,000 price tag overly optimistic, with mixed views on the date window and crown guard. The proprietary Trip-Tick case construction offers shock protection, and the movement provides a 65-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the integrated bracelet and proprietary movement as key strengths of the Bremont Supernova.
