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 Aquitaine GMT

The Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT is widely praised for its stunning design, with reviewers and owners highlighting the "Beach Sand" dial and deep blue ceramic bezel, noting it offers vintage vibes with modern capability. The box-sapphire crystal and 200m water resistance are also frequently mentioned as strong points, along with its suitability for travel due to its lightweight and rugged build. The Sellita SW330-2 movement powers the watch, functioning as an office GMT with the date positioned at 6 o'clock for visual balance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT highly for its exceptional design and robust vintage-inspired aesthetic at its price point.

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.
