The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.

The Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale CMM.10 is lauded for its vibrant blue dial and bezel, a slimmer 39mm case at 11mm thick, and its in-house CMM.10 caliber offering a 70-hour power reserve.

Accuracy is reported within a range of +5/-3 seconds per day. Overall, reviewers praise the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale CMM.10 for its attractive design and value proposition, tempered by minor concerns regarding the bracelet clasp.
