AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Blakeslee Meca-Quartz ChronographvsanOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Blakeslee Meca-Quartz Chronograph for its vintage-inspired, cockpit instrument aesthetic and the functional meca-quartz chronograph movement. The blue dial is described as stunning with depth, and the aviation-style numerals and brushed steel case contribute to its look. One owner notes the non-sapphire crystal scratches easily, and another criticizes the highly reflective crystal and poor lume. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Blakeslee Meca-Quartz Chronograph highly for its collectible aviation tribute design and satisfying meca-quartz chronograph function.

The anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal is described as dressy with a solid build, though some owners desire more pronounced case chamfers to better define its shape. The galvanized gold and rhodium dials are noted as great, but one owner prefers anOrdain's signature lacquer dials for a precious metal version. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case with 50 meters of water resistance and an in-house regulated ETA 2824-2 movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The 18mm lug width is also flagged as a drawback by one owner. Overall, owners find the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal to be a dressy watch with a solid build, though opinions are split on the dial and case finishing for a precious metal offering.
