What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont MBIII

The Bremont MBIII is praised for its versatile pilot's watch design, excellent dial visibility, and shock-resistant chronometer movement housed in a 43mm Trip-Tick case with a Faraday cage. Owners appreciate its unique origin story tied to Martin-Baker ejection seats and the brand's distinctive design language, with some noting the orange barrel accent. The watch features a 24-hour scale, 100m water resistance, and an improved Roto Click bezel. However, the "DANGER EJECTION SEAT" dial text is considered divisive, and its ETA 2892 GMT movement is not a "true" GMT as only the 24-hour hand is independently adjustable. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Bremont MBIII for its robust build and unique aviation-inspired narrative.

Farer PILOT SERIES II

Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 39mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the watch pricey and note its use of grade 2 titanium. Opinions are split on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing. One owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. On balance, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its unique dial designs and excellent wearability.
