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.

CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date

The CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date is widely praised for its exceptional legibility, particularly its dial design and thickly applied Super-LumiNova that remains readable all night. Owners appreciate its robust, toolish, bombproof design and comfortable wearability, with one noting its 11mm thickness and smaller wear size. The PVD finish withstands significant abuse. The Ronda movement is considered to have consistent second-hand movement. Some find its £700 price steep, especially compared to less expensive quartz divers, and fixed spring bars are noted as a drawback. Customer service is also flagged as potentially lacking by some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date highly for its military aesthetics, legibility, and robust, comfortable tool-watch build.
