Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Praesidus DD-45 is lauded for its detailed vintage-inspired design and solid finishing, with reviewers highlighting the impressive aged indices and hands on the "Patina" version and a well-finished 38mm steel case. Its 100-meter water resistance exceeds that of the original military watches, and the included leather strap is praised for its quality and vintage character, despite initial stiffness. One reviewer notes the Landeron movement exhibits jerky hand-winding. Overall, reviewers rate the Praesidus DD-45 highly for its faithful vintage aesthetic and robust build at its $900 price point.
The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.
The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
