Reviews

Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono

Owners widely praise the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono for its gorgeous looks, good build quality, and value for the price, with many finding it a top watch in their collection. The dial and ceramic bezel are described as flawless, and the case features well-executed bevels. Some owners note difficulty reading the dial in dull lighting, and one owner reported accuracy of over +30 seconds per day. The leather strap may run small. Overall, owners rate the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono highly for its attractive design and solid build quality at its price point.

From video reviewers

The ceramic telemeter bezel is a noted strength. The pressure crown may limit water resistance compared to screw-down crowns. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to alternatives.

Lebois & Co Baton Chronograph 324.478

The Lebois & Co Baton Chronograph 324.478 is widely praised for its excellent value and exceptional case finishing for its price point, with specific call-outs for its stepped bezel and lug design. Owners and reviewers highlight the pleasing proportions of the 39mm case and the vintage charm derived from its domed sapphire crystal and salmon dial with applied gold indices and blued hands. The manual-wind chronograph pushers are described as pleasurable to operate, and the movement is noted for its smooth operation and decoration, including a blued column wheel. Some owners find the 39mm case size slightly small for a chronograph, and one reviewer noted potential legibility issues with the telemeter scale on the dial, though this was slated for pre-production correction. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lebois & Co Baton Chronograph 324.478 highly for its vintage aesthetics and impressive finishing at its price point.
