What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Star Edition

The Oris Star Edition is a faithful 35mm reissue of a 1966 model, featuring a vintage dial, sunburst finish, and acrylic crystal. Reviewers note the 35mm case size may be too small for some collectors. The watch is powered by the automatic Oris Calibre 733 movement with a 41-hour power reserve and offers 50m water resistance. One reviewer pointed out that the date digits are not sized like the original and the included strap appears cheap. Overall, reviewers appreciate the Oris Star Edition's faithful revival of a historically significant model, with the vintage aesthetic being a primary draw.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
