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.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
