What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT

The Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT is widely praised for its stunning dial execution, COSC-certified Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and legible Brixtrack luminous indices. Owners and reviewers highlight the surprisingly wearable 43mm titanium case and bracelet, noting its lightness and comfort despite the size, with one source specifically mentioning a quick-adjustable extension. The watch offers 200m water resistance and features a Synchroline indicator. However, some owners note the titanium scratches easily and the bracelet can be difficult to size. The watch is priced at €4,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT highly for its purpose-focused pilot's watch design and innovative movement.
