What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Beaufort Aerotimer

Owners widely praise the Beaufort Aerotimer for its handsome, high-contrast salmon dial and museum-quality finishing, creating a sharp dress field watch with excellent legibility and a crisp California dial. One owner notes the power reserve is closer to 30-34 hours than advertised and finds the 11.45mm thickness slightly noticeable, while another would change the strap. Lume on the 3 and 9 o'clock markers is reportedly poor. Overall, owners rate the Beaufort Aerotimer highly for its vintage style and beautiful craftsmanship at its price point.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
