What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pinion Pure Bronze

The Pinion Pure Bronze is lauded for its refreshing design, featuring a beautiful layered dial with applied numerals and luminous indexes. Reviewers praise its satisfying manual-winding action from the Unitas 6498 movement, which offers a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer suggested a satin finish for the crown to match the case back and buckle. Overall, reviewers rate the Pinion Pure Bronze highly for its unique bronze case that patinates over time and its clear, subtly finished dial.

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.
