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 Super Compressor Elite

The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite is praised for its well-made, refined, and attractively finished Super Compressor case, featuring a blue gradient dial with decompression scales and an internal bezel operated by the 2 o'clock crown. Reviewers note the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement offers a 56-hour power reserve. However, the bracelet's end link finishing does not match the lugs, and the pin-and-collar sizing system is criticized for difficulty. One reviewer calls the 150-meter water resistance a party trick and dislikes the logo and trident on the seconds hand. Overall, reviewers find the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite to be a refined and attractively finished watch, despite some criticisms regarding bracelet finishing and water resistance.

Tudor Pelagos Ultra

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is praised for its 1000 meters of water resistance, METAS-certified Calibre MT5612-U movement, and fully lumed dial and bezel. Reviewers highlight its titanium case and self-adjusting clasp as key features. The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is slightly larger at 43mm than some other models in the line but wears comfortably. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Pelagos Ultra highly for its technical specifications and comfortable wearability as a flagship dive watch.

From video reviewers

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra's all-titanium construction provides a lightweight and durable case. One weakness is the lack of lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the helium release valve is a notable feature or a drawback for a more streamlined design.
