Oris Big Crown Calibre 113vsChristopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian

The Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 is noted for its distinctive mint green and rose pink dial, a 43mm stainless steel case, and an in-house hand-wound movement offering a 10-day power reserve. It includes a business calendar complication, day, date, and a non-linear power reserve indicator, with excellent readability provided by Super-LumiNova. One reviewer found the bold dial color potentially clashes with a business context and wished for a smaller case size. The Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 is priced at CHF 6,350 / €6,350 and includes a five-year warranty. Overall, reviewers highlight the Oris Big Crown Calibre 113's unique dial and extensive complications as its primary draw.

The Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian is widely praised for its unique, textured dial and comfortable 38mm case size, with reviewers noting its excellent finishing for the price and the Bader bracelet as a standout feature. Owners appreciate the clean, date-free dial and the wavy pattern, with one comparing it favorably to Grand Seiko. The bronze variant develops a warm patina over time. Accuracy is reported as COSC-certified and around +4 seconds per day by one owner, while another notes a rating of up to 20 seconds per day. The time-only models feature a Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve, though the GMT variant uses a Sellita SW330 with a 56-hour power reserve. Some owners expressed concerns about the sandy texture becoming tiresome or the grey dial blending with the case, and one reviewer found the dial details and applied logo "a bit much." Customer service experiences were mixed, with one owner reporting a frustrating battle and long repair turnaround.
