Reviews

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 excellent value, particularly for a Flieger chronograph with a Valjoux 7750 movement, with one owner calling it a remarkable value for just over $900. Reviewers and owners highlight its fantastic lume, light-reactive dial, and chronograph functionality, along with a perfect 42mm case size. Some owners note the lack of an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal and wish for heat-blued hands or a date at 3:00. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph highly for its superb value and robust feature set at its price point.

Yema Flygraf Flieger French Air Force

The Yema Flygraf Flieger French Air Force is widely praised for its uncluttered pilot design, sandwich dial construction, and the in-house YEMA2000 automatic movement. Owners are thrilled with the blue dial, the 6 o'clock date, and the accuracy of the watch. The 40mm grade 2 titanium case with a matte brushed finish and BGW9 Super-LumiNova are also noted strengths. The watch comes with a 20mm canvas strap made in France and is considered a good value, especially at its discounted price of $842. One reviewer suggested changing the handset for baton hands. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Flygraf Flieger French Air Force highly for its design and value at the price point.
