What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design, thin 39.6mm case, and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, and packaging. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported to be exceptionally accurate, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its exceptional vintage aesthetic and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its mix of brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The price point of $995 USD is a point of contention, with one reviewer suggesting it may be high compared to competitors.
