Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial.

On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch offers a 300-meter depth rating and a caller-style GMT complication powered by the Caliber 6R54 movement, which provides a 72-hour power reserve. Reviewers note its refined clasp with extensive micro-adjustment. However, the movement's accuracy, ranging from +25 to -15 seconds per day, is considered a drawback by some. Overall, reviewers highlight the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch as a good reminder of Seiko's value, despite the wide accuracy range of its movement.
