Beda'a Angles Mecaline - London EditionvsNivada Grenchen Depthmaster

The Beda'a Angles Mecaline is lauded for its exceptionally slim 6mm profile and attractive mixed-finish 37mm case, complemented by minimalist dials. Owners note the manual-wind ETA 7001 movement and Epsom leather straps. One reviewer flags the buckle as potentially "a bit much." On balance, reviewers rate the Beda'a Angles highly for its elegant, slim design and refined finishing at its price point.

Owners widely report terrific build quality and a feel similar to the 1960s original, with some appreciating its reasonable lug-to-lug and better-than-expected appearance in person. The compact 39mm case is praised for its wearability, especially on smaller wrists, and offers impressive 1,000m water resistance. However, the Soprod P024 movement's 38-hour power reserve is a point of criticism, as is a bezel that can be difficult to grip and weak lume. Some owners find the watch wears on the smaller side, and the date complication is seen by one owner as detracting from the design. The "Pacman" variant is noted as polarizing, with one owner questioning their purchase, while the "Ghost Purple" variant's 30 and 45 numerals are described as having a rushed aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster highly for its faithful reissue, impressive water resistance, and comfortable wearability at a competitive price.
