What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Serica Ref. 5303 Diving Chronometer

Owners widely praise the Serica Ref. 5303 Diving Chronometer for its excellent wearability, definitive style, and smooth, confident bezel action. The dual scale on the bezel is noted as surprisingly useful, and the crown action, winding, and hacking are reported to work perfectly. One owner describes the Serica 5303-3 as gorgeous and unique, though another notes the crown can appear comically large. On balance, owners rate the Serica Ref. 5303 Diving Chronometer highly for its blend of unique design and robust functionality.

CIGA Design FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.
