Oris Oris Star EditionvsVario 1918 Medic Brass

The Oris Star Edition is a faithful 35mm reissue of a 1966 model, featuring a vintage dial, sunburst finish, and acrylic crystal. Reviewers note the 35mm case size may be too small for some collectors. The watch is powered by the automatic Oris Calibre 733 movement with a 41-hour power reserve and offers 50m water resistance. One reviewer pointed out that the date digits are not sized like the original and the included strap appears cheap. Overall, reviewers appreciate the Oris Star Edition's faithful revival of a historically significant model, with the vintage aesthetic being a primary draw.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
