What people say

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. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. 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.

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic

Owners find the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic a good size for smaller wrists, though one owner notes the lume is too diffuse for easy nighttime reading. The pilot-style crown is an unusual feature for a dive watch. Overall, owners value the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic for its wearability on smaller wrists.

From video reviewers

The coral red dial is a unique aesthetic. The watch is a strong contender for best-in-class under $300.
