Linde Werdelin 3 TimervsLorier Zephyr

The Linde Werdelin 3 Timer is widely appreciated for its versatile GMT function, allowing for tracking three time zones, and its unique Biformeter case design with attractive finishing. Reviewers highlight the dial's concentric circle pattern and the ease of adjusting the GMT hand in one-hour increments via the bi-directional bezel, noting the ETA 2893-A2 movement's smooth winding. Owners and reviewers acknowledge the watch's aggressive design and utility, including 300m water resistance and easy strap changes, though some find the 44mm case chunky. The price, ranging from $5,700-$6,300, is considered high by some, particularly given the non-COSC certified ETA movement, and concerns about resale value and dated aesthetics are raised by one owner.

Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its stunning guilloche-style dial, refined and perfectly sized unique case shape, and comfortable wearability. The Miyota 9 series movement is noted by owners as being a little noisy, with a rotor whirring audible on quick hand movements. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its distinctive dial and case design at the price.
