Reviews

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

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473

Owners and reviewers praise the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473 for its smooth winding action, refined manual-wind movement with a five-day power reserve, and a 10-year warranty. The 38mm case and blue dial with tan strap are noted for their aesthetic appeal, though one reviewer observed it sits a bit high on the wrist. The watch is priced at $4,400, a significant increase over Sellita-based models. Some owners express concern over quality control, with one reporting a non-functional watch out of the box and another noting a jumping minute hand issue with a related movement. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473 for its movement and build quality, despite some reported quality control concerns and a higher price point.

Farer CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer CUSHION CASE for its vibrant gradient dials and distinctive case design featuring "bat-ear" lugs and a polished finish. The manual-wind Sellita SW216-1 movement is noted, though some owners question the choice over an automatic. Opinions are split on specific dial details, with some finding the grey numeral track on the salmon dial or eastern Arabic markings on the green dial unappealing, while others highlight the dimensionality of the red dial and the classy gold tone case. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer CUSHION CASE highly for its unique dial treatments and refined case design at its price point.
