What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sinn 356 PILOT Classic AS E

The Sinn 356 PILOT Classic AS E is praised for its excellent legibility, clean bicompax dial, and strong lume, with owners appreciating its fit and finish and attractive gradient dial. The Sellita SW510 BH b movement is noted as reliable, and chronograph functions are responsive, with accuracy reported within COSC parameters at +5 seconds per day. The 38.5mm case, particularly with the domed acrylic crystal, is described by some as wearing tall and appearing "tubby" on the wrist due to its 15.6mm thickness, though others find the sapphire version acceptable for a chronograph. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Sinn 356 PILOT Classic AS E highly for its vintage aesthetic and strong legibility.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
