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.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as liquid-like, and its simple, rugged 36mm steel case. The smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210 movement is also a frequently cited positive. Some reviewers note the 36mm case wears larger than expected, while others find it perfect for everyday wear and elegant. Criticisms include 5atm water resistance, glare from the sapphire crystal, and the lack of a running seconds hand. One owner expressed a strong desire to reacquire their Model 2 after selling it. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and wearability at the price point.
