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 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton

The Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is noted for its skeletonized dial and the use of BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova for legibility. It is powered by a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, offering a 44-hour power reserve. On balance, the Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is seen as a cool-looking option, though availability is a factor.
