What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont Altitude MB Meteor

The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor features a 42mm Grade 2 titanium case with black DLC finishing and a refined Trip-Tick construction. Reviewers note its slimmer profile and reduced lug-to-lug distance make it more wearable than previous MB models. The watch has a bi-directional Roto-Click inner bezel, a black dial with Felix the Cat imagery and bright yellow accents, and is powered by the automatic calibre BB14-AH with a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highlight the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor's improved wearability and distinctive design elements.

Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist

The Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist is praised as a faithful re-creation of a historical 24-hour watch, with one owner purchasing it for $620 and viewing it as a long-term keeper due to its heritage reissue status and vintage aesthetics. The 36mm size is noted as a conversation starter. However, the acrylic crystal is prone to scratching, with one example showing a small scratch over the date window. Some community members suggest pre-Invicta models may hold value better. Overall, owners appreciate the Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist for its authentic vintage appeal and unique dial, though the acrylic crystal requires careful handling.
