What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its in-house Calibre 403 movement offering a 120-hour power reserve and a 10-year warranty. Owners and reviewers highlight its good finishing, inspired dial design with luminous Arabic numerals, and the analog date complication for quick checks. The 40mm stainless steel case is 12.3mm thick with 50 meters of water resistance. Some owners find the 40mm size perfect, while others prefer the 36mm version. The deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily, and the higher price point compared to standard models is a point of discussion, with a noted owner concern about time-setting accuracy not yet addressed. Overall, owners and reviewers value the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 for its impressive performance and refreshed aesthetic at its price point.

Christopher Ward C63 True GMT

The Christopher Ward C63 True GMT is widely praised for its in-house CW-002 caliber, which offers a 120-hour power reserve and COSC certification. Owners find the 39mm case size comfortable, though some note it wears closer to 40-41mm. While the PVD hands provide good contrast and the lume is praised for readability, one owner felt the orange accent lacked pop and the gloss dial/text combo appeared cheap in certain lighting. One owner also noted a perceived slight difference in production quality compared to a sibling model's bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C63 True GMT highly for its impressive power reserve and COSC-certified movement at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case finishing is praised for its polished and curved surfaces. The watch uses a Sellita SW330-2 movement. Reviewers disagree on the case size, with one noting 40.5mm and another highlighting a 36mm option.
