Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapsevsVario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

The Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a rugged, dive-capable field watch, an evolution of a 1990s military concept. It features a 42.5mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and a Seiko NH36 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve. The dial is busy but functional, and the watch features Super-LumiNova BGW9. On balance, reviewers note the Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a modernized military watch with robust dive capabilities.

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.
