The numbers, the dial colors, the calibers — laid out so you can stop flipping between tabs.
Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners find the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1's dial visually appealing with blue and gold accents, but also too cluttered with multiple dial rings. The Sellita SW510 BH M Elaboré movement is considered solid, though not top-tier. The $5,000 price point for a microbrand using a serial movement is questioned by some owners. On balance, owners are split on the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1, with some appreciating its aesthetic and movement while others find the dial too busy and the price point high for a microbrand.
The Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 is praised for its fashionable and distinctive military-inspired design, featuring a champagne dial and a polished and brushed case with a ceramic bezel insert. Owners appreciate its utilitarian aesthetic and historical connection. One owner notes the bezel can be slippery. The watch is powered by a Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement. The price point of $1700 is considered high by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 appealing for its unique design and historical military roots, despite some reservations about its price and bezel grip.
