Benrus Watches Sky Chief - Stratus Grey

Overall, owners and reviewers praise the Benrus Watches Sky Chief - Stratus Grey for its faithful vintage-inspired design and wearability on its 36mm case, with one reviewer noting its improved thickness. Sources mention the ETA 2894 automatic movement, 100m water resistance, and BGW9 Super-LumiNova lume.

On balance, enthusiasts and reviewers appreciate the Benrus Watches Sky Chief - Stratus Grey for its vintage aesthetic and solid build, despite a reviewer noting its $3,950 price is aggressive.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
