What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.

Zelos Eagle 2

Owners widely praise the Zelos Eagle 2's unique meteorite dial and titanium case, with one owner describing it as a "work of art" featuring a fully lumed dial and a scratch-resistant 1,200 Vickers hardness-coated case. The LaJoux Perret G100Soigne movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners, however, find the dial layout "ugly" and the font thick, while others note minor QC issues like misaligned markers. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Eagle 2 highly for its distinctive meteorite dial and titanium construction at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's compact size is a notable strength, with a 39mm diameter case and 11mm thickness making it suitable for a pilot's watch. A potential weakness is the lug-to-lug fit, which may be too large for smaller wrists. Reviewers disagree on the bezel, with one reviewer highlighting the Cerakote finish as a standout feature, while another mentions the watch's bezel in passing without comment.
