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.

Baltic Hermétique Tourer

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Baltic Hermétique Tourer for its cohesive vintage-inspired design, appealing layered dials, and legible displays, with particular admiration for its dial depth and indices. The 37mm case is frequently cited as well-proportioned and wearable, complemented by 150m water resistance and impressive value. The recessed crown is a consistent point of discussion, with many finding it fiddly for hand-winding and setting due to its integrated design, though some note this is a stylistic nod to historical waterproof cases. One owner raised a concern about potential marker misalignment on affordable watches. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic Hermétique Tourer highly for its attractive design and value at the price point.

From video reviewers

The Hermétique Tourer offers strong legibility due to its fully lumed indices. Reviewers noted the lume brightness could be improved.
