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.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
