Bremont Altitude MB Meteor

The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor features a 42mm Grade 2 titanium case with black DLC finishing and a refined Trip-Tick construction.

Overall, reviewers highlight the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor's improved wearability and distinctive design elements.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
