Corniche HistoriquevsIXDAO Dress Watch

Owners widely praise the Corniche Historique for its beautiful blue ceramic dial, excellent finishing, and comfortable, well-sized 37.5mm case. It is considered a versatile and high-quality everyday watch for its $455 price, with the white internal bezel and seconds hand offering a pleasing contrast. Overall, owners rate the Corniche Historique highly for its aesthetic appeal and value.

Owners widely praise the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch for its clean dial, elegant proportions, and surprisingly good polishing on hands and markers, especially considering its $300 price point, with some calling it their best watch yet. The green color and emblem are also highlighted as positives. However, some owners note a non-recessed seconds dial on the white and silver model as a disappointment, and the 22mm lug width is considered inconvenient by some. One owner reported a slightly misaligned bezel on a specific variant, though they also praised the high overall quality, bright lume, and unique bracelet. IXDAO is generally positioned in quality and specs slightly below San Martin, comparable to Octopus Kraken and Sugess/Seestern. Overall, owners rate the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch highly for its impressive finishing and design at an accessible price point.
