What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono

Owners widely praise the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono for its gorgeous looks and clean design, with one owner calling it a top 5 watch in their collection. The 40mm size and included straps are noted as comfortable and wearable. Some owners find the watch difficult to read in dull lighting. One owner of a 1956 GMT reported a non-screwing crown, and another owner of a 1956 GMT noted a misaligned bezel. Overall, owners rate the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono highly for its aesthetic appeal and wearability.

From video reviewers

The watch offers a Swiss-made Sellita SW510M BH b manual-wind movement and a comfortable 40mm diameter. The ultra-domed sapphire crystal provides significant vintage flair.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
