What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 for its premium feel, meticulous finishing, and solid bracelet with smooth articulation and effective micro-adjustment. The crown operation is consistently described as satisfying, and the dial and bezel are noted for their premium feel. Lume is excellent, and hand alignment is precise. However, a recurring criticism among owners is the misalignment of the steel inner bezel, particularly at the 6:00 marker, which is noticeable despite the watch's otherwise high level of finishing. The Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve and accuracy of -/+ 20 seconds per day are flagged as standard. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 highly for its exceptional build quality and refinement at its price point, with the inner bezel alignment being a notable point of contention.

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. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
