Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Oris Year of the Horse Limited Edition is a 43mm watch praised for its bold, vibrant design and clever movement display, featuring an in-house manual-wind Calibre 113 with a 10-day power reserve and a unique business calendar. The red dial is accented by small horses marking the power reserve indicator. However, its daring aesthetic and size are noted as not being for everyone. On balance, reviewers appreciate the unique movement complications and distinctive design of the Oris Year of the Horse Limited Edition.
The 10-day power reserve and business calendar complication of the Calibre 113 movement are consistently praised. The Shell Cordovan strap is noted as a unique design element. Some reviewers suggest the CHF 6,650 price point may be a consideration.
Owners find the Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic beautiful and comfortable, appreciating its complications like the power reserve indicator. It is noted as a microbrand option with day, date, and power reserve complications, offering better quality control than some other microbrands. However, concerns exist regarding the brand owner's track record. One owner found the case very large, while another reported water ingress issues from handwashing that damaged their watch. Overall, owners rate the Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic positively for its styling and complications, despite some concerns about the brand and isolated quality control issues.
