Farer LISSOMvsHamilton Khaki Aviation Khaki Pilot GMT Auto

Farer Lissom owners and reviewers widely praise its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions, noting its well-balanced proportions and comfortable wearability. The vibrant and colorful dial designs, intricate details like grained textures and sunken sub-dials, and lume-filled dauphine hands are frequently highlighted as strengths. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is mentioned, with a claimed accuracy of +/- 15 seconds and a 50-hour power reserve, though one owner reported a movement failure after overwinding, which was resolved with excellent customer service. Some owners find the blue numerals and hands appear nearly black unless catching the light, and opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it ideal and others a bit small for their wrist. The 42.8mm lug-to-lug measurement is noted as potentially appearing odd on larger wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer Lissom highly for its striking design and slim, wearable case at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Khaki Pilot GMT Auto as an underrated, value-packed GMT with good finishing and a sapphire crystal, powered by an ETA 2893-2 movement. Some find the GMT hand obscures legibility, while others consider it legible and appreciate the slim design, though its 44mm size is noted as large by some. One owner describes it as functioning more as an "office GMT" than a traveler's GMT. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Khaki Pilot GMT Auto highly for its excellent value and GMT functionality.
