What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 for its COSC-certified accuracy and clean British-military aesthetic, with many highlighting its balanced wearability and cool, ultra-legible mid-century design. The gorgeous domed crystal and the MOD badge on the caseback are noted as charming details. Some owners find the 38mm case size potentially too small for larger wrists, while others question its claimed military heritage. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW200 COSC movement with a 38-hour power reserve and features Grade X1 Super-LumiNova on its matte black dial. Overall, the consensus is that the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 is highly regarded for its character and COSC-certified accuracy.

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.
