What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph for its robust build quality, with one owner calling it their "doll" and a great second watch. A custom strap was found to be superior to the original. One owner notes the lack of an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph highly for its solid construction and value as a second watch.

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design, thin 39.6mm case, and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, and packaging. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported to be exceptionally accurate, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its exceptional vintage aesthetic and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its mix of brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The price point of $995 USD is a point of contention, with one reviewer suggesting it may be high compared to competitors.
