What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Zephyr

Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its stunning guilloche-style dial, refined and perfectly sized unique case shape, and comfortable wearability. The Miyota 9 series movement is noted by owners as being a little noisy, with a rotor whirring audible on quick hand movements. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its distinctive dial and case design at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage aesthetic and value for money are praised. The bracelet's refinement and perceived rattle are noted as a drawback.

Vario 1918 Pilot

The Vario 1918 Pilot is praised for its classy, unique, and beautifully done vintage theme, especially its 45-degree tilted enamel dial and cathedral hands, offered at a bargain price. Owners note the Miyota 8N33 hand-wound movement with over 40 hours of power reserve and C3 lume. Some find the 40mm size a bit small for larger wrists, and the Vario logo is occasionally seen as out of place. The tilted dial is impractical for right-wrist wear, and one owner reported disappointment with the movement's loudness. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1918 Pilot well for its unique dial execution and vintage aesthetic at an accessible price point.
