Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 LaservsTornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse

The Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser is praised for its high-tech laser-etched titanium dial and the advanced Calibre 400 movement with a 120-hour power reserve. However, the dial's unique rainbow gradient is polarizing, with one owner finding it childish and preferring applied indices for better legibility and lume, while reviewers note the case shape may still require adjustment. The CHF 4,800 price is also flagged as steep for a time-only watch. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the innovative dial and movement, but opinions are divided on its aesthetic appeal and value proposition.

The Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a rugged, dive-capable field watch, an evolution of a 1990s military concept. It features a 42.5mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and a Seiko NH36 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve. The dial is busy but functional, and the watch features Super-LumiNova BGW9. On balance, reviewers note the Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a modernized military watch with robust dive capabilities.
