What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

The Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino is widely praised for its unique Byzantine art engraving across the case and bracelet, and its elegant gray fumé dial. Owners find it extremely comfortable and appreciate its solid build quality for the €900 price point. However, reviewers note that the bracelet screws are unattractive up close, and the seconds hand can be difficult to see in certain lighting conditions, impacting legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino highly for its distinctive artistic design and comfortable wearability.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
