What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oris X Cervo Volante

The Oris X Cervo Volante's 38mm case size is widely praised as ideal by owners. The deer leather strap is described as fantastic, though one owner found it stiff with a loose keeper. The gradient dial and pointer date function are noted features, with one reviewer mentioning the crystal's dome and pointer date can make reading the date difficult and the watch feel thicker. The Oris X Cervo Volante is powered by the Calibre 754 with a 41-hour power reserve and was priced at $2,600 USD. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Oris X Cervo Volante for its ideal 38mm size and unique Cervo Volante deer leather strap.

From video reviewers

The Oris x Cervo Volante features a unique and evocative dial, with burnt maple and fumé options that capture the essence of a Canadian autumn and shift from a darker brown to a lighter brown as the light catches it. The watch's sustainable deer leather strap is also a notable feature. However, the lume is somewhat underwhelming, particularly considering the watch's price point, and the lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not be ideal for those with smaller wrists.

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.
