Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its refined dials and slimmer case, with one owner calling the black dial the "blackest of blacks" and another finding it not top-heavy. The COSC-certified automatic movement is noted, and the Bonklip bracelet is described by one owner as the most comfortable they have ever experienced. However, one owner found the 9 o'clock crown undesirable and noted a ding on the bezel, while another owner found the Bonklip bracelet too small for their wrist. The €990 price is a significant increase from its predecessor, and some may miss the charm of a manual-winding caliber. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its updated design and comfortable bracelet, despite some concerns about the crown placement and price.
Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr owners widely praise its comfortable, solid bracelet with screw links and tight end-link fit, along with its awesome sandwich dial featuring superb grain and crisp details. The 12-hour bezel is noted as excellent for tracking a second time zone, and the orange second hand adds a nice pop. One owner reports the watch has outstanding quality and a perfect fit on smaller wrists, while another notes its legibility and great presence on various straps. A reviewer describes it as a 40mm stainless steel tool watch with a matte, brushed finish and a sandwich dial, powered by an ETA 2892-A2 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Some in the line report the lume could be brighter. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr highly for its build quality and versatile tool-watch design.
