Bremont The Meta Kronos

Bremont The Meta Kronos is praised for its comfortable 40mm size, retro sapphire crystal, and simple dial. Owners note its GMT function and call it a "strap monster." This specific Meta employee edition is a custom S302 Kronos GMT limited to around 54 pieces, featuring a modified automatic movement, GMT functionality, and a custom dial with "move fast" text and Meta-specific colors. It is offered for $3700 plus shipping. On balance, owners value Bremont The Meta Kronos for its wearable size and classic dive watch aesthetic.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance.
