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.

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.
