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.

Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass

Owners praise the Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass for its unique single-hand design and understated nautical theme, finding it reflects their personal style. The watch is a 38mm vintage-inspired timepiece with 100m water resistance. A reviewer notes the Miyota 8s25 automatic movement has a 40-hour power reserve and its unidirectional winding rotor may wobble. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass for its refreshingly different take and casual time-telling dial.
