What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch for its faithful homage to vintage military divers, highlighting details like the dial markings, luminous acrylic bezel, vintage logo, and well-proportioned hands. One owner reports accuracy under +2 seconds per day. However, some find the "faux patina" lume too gold and glossy, and the polished case unusual for a military watch. The fixed lugs are noted as a potential drawback for some, though others appreciate them as a tool watch feature. Opinions on the value are split, with some questioning the $2.5k price point due to the ETA movement, while others see it as a strong alternative to more expensive watches. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch well for its vintage aesthetic and tool watch capabilities, despite some reservations about its price and specific execution details.

Boldr Odyssey Regatta

The Boldr Odyssey Regatta is noted for its robust functionality and utilitarian design, powered by a Valjoux 7750 Elaboré movement. It features a tachymeter bezel graduated in knots and offers 500m water resistance. While its 45.5mm diameter, 18.2mm thickness, and 245g weight make it a substantial timepiece, it wears better than its dimensions might suggest. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Regatta's workhorse movement and functional tool-watch capabilities.

From video reviewers

500m water resistance is a consistently praised feature. The watch's significant weight and large case size were noted as drawbacks by multiple reviewers. Reviewers disagreed on whether the bezel's 15-minute markings were redundant given the regatta complication.
