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.

Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse

The Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a rugged, dive-capable field watch, an evolution of a 1990s military concept. It features a 42.5mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and a Seiko NH36 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve. The dial is busy but functional, and the watch features Super-LumiNova BGW9. On balance, reviewers note the Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a modernized military watch with robust dive capabilities.
