What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.

Zelos Starfighter Chronograph

Owners find the Zelos Starfighter Chronograph appealing, with one noting the beauty of the Aventurine dial and another praising the blue dial and lumed subdials. One owner is selling the watch to acquire other chronographs. Overall, owners appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the Zelos Starfighter Chronograph, particularly its dial options and lumed subdials.
