Airain Watches Type 20vsMKII Project 300

Owners widely praise the Airain Watches Type 20 for its beautiful and faithful recreation of a classic model, highlighting its easily wearable 39mm case sizing and the pleasure of its manual winding movement. Reviewers note the pleasing "old radium" lume and the vintage military watch experience offered by modern construction. Some owners find the design timeless and clean, with one owner calling it "just perfect." However, reviewers point out that the vintage-style sapphire crystal can add glare, and the case is still considered a bit thick despite the manual movement. Strap hardware required swapping between included straps for one reviewer. One owner noted a small scratch on the crystal near the 12-hour mark. The movement's appearance is considered less attractive than many hand-wound chronographs by one reviewer. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Airain Watches Type 20 highly for its faithful vintage design and enjoyable manual winding action.

Owners widely praise the MKII Project 300 for its balanced aesthetic, with one owner noting its lume "glows like a torch." Reviewers highlight its design as a dive watch inspired by the Omega Seamaster 300, emphasizing high legibility with a bold yet balanced appearance. One owner found the 41.25mm case fit their wrist perfectly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the MKII Project 300 highly for its striking lume and well-proportioned dive watch design.
