Oris Year of the Snake Limited Edition

The Oris Year of the Snake Limited Edition is noted for its skeletonized dial, available in either cyan or green, and its 10-day power reserve from the in-house Calibre 115 movement. The watch features a 44mm titanium case and a distinctive power reserve indicator shaped like a snake's tongue. This limited edition, restricted to 88 pieces, was priced at EUR 8,200 / USD 9,100. Overall, reviewers highlight the Oris Year of the Snake Limited Edition for its unique skeletonized dial and impressive 10-day power reserve.

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic

The Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic features a 41mm titanium case with a glassbox sapphire crystal and a laser-etched guilloché dial with Roman numerals. It utilizes a modified Sellita SW200-1 movement with a chiming module, and its chiming mechanism showcases meticulous hand-finishing. One reviewer found the Oyster-style bracelet a stylistic mismatch for the watch's classical dial design. On balance, reviewers highlight the C1 Bel Canto Classic's refined dial and hand-finished chiming mechanism.
