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-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH

The Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH is noted for its modern, Transformer-like 45mm case and superb, qualitative finishing on its skeletonized sapphire dial. The manually wound BR-CAL.283 movement offers a 4-day power reserve. However, the movement's use of a Dubois-Depraz module over an ETA base is a point of consideration against competitors with in-house calibers, and the watch carries a high price point, with limited editions ranging from $163,000 to $238,000. Overall, reviewers highlight the Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH's impressive finishing and unique aesthetic as key strengths, despite its considerable cost and modular movement construction.

Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton

The Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is noted for its skeletonized dial and the use of BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova for legibility. It is powered by a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, offering a 44-hour power reserve. On balance, the Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is seen as a cool-looking option, though availability is a factor.
