Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
IWC Schaffhausen Iw329602 Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar Proset owners and reviewers widely praise its innovative crown-operated perpetual calendar adjustment, which allows for bidirectional setting without correctors, simplifying operation. The 42mm case size is noted as making the complication more accessible, and the watch features a highly precise moon phase display accurate to one day in over 1000 years. Some owners find the Bordeaux and gold color scheme striking, while others criticize its readability as a pilot's watch, likening the moon phase indicators to "googly eyes" and feeling that covered hour numbers detract from simplicity. Several commenters noted the watch appears too large for many wrists, and one mentioned setting the perpetual calendar can be a struggle. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw329602 Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar Proset highly for its user-friendly perpetual calendar mechanism and more accessible 42mm case size.
