Oris Big Crown Calibre 113vsLorier Merlin

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.

Owners widely praise the Lorier Merlin for its vintage-inspired 37mm case, heat-blued hands, raised numerals, and hesalite crystal. The watch is noted for its comfortable wear, with some finding it wears large despite its size and even thinner on a two-piece strap. Drilled lug holes and a locking bezel are also appreciated features. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day, while others do not specify. Some owners find the dual-crown design unappealing or the case chunky, with the 37mm size feeling small for a dive bezel watch, though others find it perfect for smaller wrists. The supplied strap and its hardware are considered cheap by one owner, and the bezel action is described as light and hollow. A desire for a sapphire crystal option at the price point is mentioned by some, while others prefer the hesalite for its vintage look. On balance, owners and the community rate the Lorier Merlin highly for its authentic vintage aesthetic and comfortable wear.
