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.

Maen Lunar Classic 36

The Maen Lunar Classic 36 is lauded for its attractive salmon dial with radial brushing and its appealing moonphase complication, complemented by a brick bracelet praised for its drape and case integration. Reviewers note the watch's vintage-inspired styling and elegant dial. One reviewer, however, would prefer the omission of lume for a cleaner look, while another would opt for white lume over faux patina and suggests removing the crosshairs from the moonphase sub-dial. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW280-1 movement and was available for pre-order starting at €1,049. Overall, reviewers appreciate the Maen Lunar Classic 36 for its stylish design and well-executed detailing, particularly the dial and bracelet.

From video reviewers

The moonphase complication is a strong point. The value proposition at its price point is also consistently highlighted. No shared weaknesses were identified.
