What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR 03-92 DESERT TYPE

The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type features a 42mm black ceramic case and a sand-colored dial with a sandwich construction. It is powered by the BR Caliber 302 movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve. The dial has aviation-shaped hands and a photoluminescent lower insert. On balance, owners and reviewers note the distinctive dial and case construction of the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.
