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 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels. However, some owners report minor time-setting issues, and the 50-meter water resistance is considered underwhelming by one reviewer, who also notes the deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 highly for its impressive power reserve and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The 5-day power reserve of the new in-house Calibre 403 movement is a key strength. Reviewers noted the comfortable H-link bracelet and vibrant dial color options.

Bremont MBII

The Bremont MBII is praised for its striking, high-tech pilot's watch aesthetic, reassuring heft, and quality feel, featuring an anti-shock system and customizable barrel. Owners note its condition can be excellent with minor hairlines, and it is presented with all original boxes and papers. A drawback cited is its 38-hour power reserve compared to newer movements. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Bremont MBII affordable and a good representation of the brand.
