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. 8315 Travel Chronometer

Serica Ref. 8315 Travel Chronometer owners and reviewers praise its neo-vintage aesthetic, comfortable 39mm size, and unique day/night bezel design. Some find the lack of a date function a drawback, and the mirrored 12-hour bezel with AM/PM text is considered less practical than a traditional 24-hour bezel for time zone reading, with the lollipop-style 24-hour hand and asymmetrical bezel design also noted as potentially confusing. The watch is powered by a COSC-certified Soprod C125 movement with a 40-hour power reserve. One owner noted import duties and that the strap's aggressive taper required using the last hole for a proper fit. On balance, Serica Ref. 8315 Travel Chronometer is appreciated for its distinctive design and wearability, though its GMT functionality and bezel design are points of contention for some.

Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450. On balance, reviewers rate the Horage Lensman 2 highly for its unique functionality as a camera tool combined with its luxury micro-rotor GMT features.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.
