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.

Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte

Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte is praised for its stealthy, modern field watch aesthetic, featuring a durable ceramic-coated steel case and a clean, no-date dial. Reviewers highlight its comfortable 38mm dimensions and 100m water resistance. The watch offers exceptional value at $1,475, including two straps and a travel wallet, with a modified ETA 2892-A2 movement. One reviewer notes the ceramic coating may develop patina with heavy wear. Overall, reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte highly for its stealthy design and value proposition.
