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.

Mr Jones Watches Continuum

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Continuum for its unique 1960s retro space-age aesthetic and the distinctive artwork by Jacqueline Colley, featuring a jump hour complication with a rocket for the hour and a comet for the minutes. The watch is also noted for feeling solid and well-made in person, with a cool meteor minute hand that makes telling time an engaging experience, and is considered unisex. Owners are split on the font size on the hour dial, with some finding it difficult to read, especially in low light, partly due to a shadow cast by the rocket artwork. Overall, owners rate the Mr Jones Watches Continuum highly for its distinctive retro design and engaging jump hour complication.
