Furlan Marri Cornes De VachevsFormex Reef GMT

The Furlan Marri Cornes de Vache Blue Sector is lauded for its vintage-inspired design, featuring distinctive cow horn lugs and a compact 37.5mm case. Reviewers highlight its complex case finishing with sharp transitions and polished surfaces, a subtly grained azure blue dial with a printed sector and applied Breguet numerals, and the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. This movement provides a 68-hour power reserve, with accuracy noted as within ±7 seconds per day. The watch is priced at CHF 1,250 excl. taxes or A$2,600. On balance, reviewers praise the Furlan Marri Cornes de Vache Blue Sector for its elegant, wearable vintage aesthetic and detailed finishing at its price point.

The Formex Reef GMT is widely praised for its unique porthole case shape, COSC-certified Sellita SW330-2 movement with good finishing, and comfortable quick-release bracelet with on-the-fly micro-adjustment. Reviewers note its robust construction, impressive specifications, and strong value proposition, with a slim 11.4mm profile accommodating 300m water resistance and an exhibition caseback. However, owners widely report the 53mm lug-to-lug span with male endlinks makes it too large for smaller wrists. Some find the bezel action stiff and potentially slippery, and a reviewer desired sharper finishing and edges, deeming the aesthetic too modernist. The GMT variant sacrifices a timing bezel unless swapped, and one owner notes sharp edges on the crown and crown guard. Overall, owners and reviewers highly rate the Formex Reef GMT for its exceptional value and well-executed features, particularly its bracelet system and COSC-certified movement.
