Lorier Falcon SIIIvsRedux Zero-Hour

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Lorier Falcon SIII for its impressive finishing at its price point, a svelte 36mm case that evokes vintage aesthetics and fits well on smaller wrists, and a clear, domed hesalite crystal. The legible BGW9 lume and high-quality tapering bracelet are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note that the dial's diamond pattern can make minute markers difficult to read in certain light, and one owner found the lume intensity could be more consistent. The Falcon SIII utilizes the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Falcon SIII highly for its vintage-inspired design and excellent finishing for the price.

Owners widely praise the Redux Courg Zero Hour 39MM for its robust, utilitarian design inspired by pilot and dive tools, its lightweight Grade 5 titanium construction, and its comfortable wearability. The proprietary RDXB1 lume is noted for its bright initial glow, though it fades quickly. The Seiko NH53A or NH35 movement is generally considered reliable. However, multiple owners report a flimsy or fragile crown stem, and some describe the unidirectional bezel as having play or being able to rotate clockwise by one minute, though one owner reported a tight bezel with no play. The 39mm case size is considered good by some, while others find it small for larger wrists or note it looks large, with some desiring a 42mm option. One owner found the titanium finish looked slightly cheap and wished for a bezel insert. The dial is described by one owner as too busy for easy reading without glasses. The Redux Courg Zero Hour 39MM is available for $300, down from an original price of $507.
