Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Day DatevsMaen Manhattan 40

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Day Date for its excellent legibility, clear dial with large numerals, and fine brushed finishing on the case and bracelet. The turbine-style bezel and instrument-inspired hands are frequently highlighted as unique design elements. However, several owners report that the lume fades quickly and the Sellita SW220-1 movement can be noisy, running approximately +10 seconds per day, though one owner reported +8 seconds per day and another noted accuracy of +2s/d on a different model. The bracelet clasp is described as having limited adjustment, and attaching or detaching the bracelet can be difficult due to tight tolerances, with some owners finding the 45mm case size too large for smaller wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Day Date for its strong legibility and distinctive pilot watch design at its price point.

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.
