DOXA DOXA ArmyvsSpinnaker Hass Automatic

The DOXA Army is widely praised for its compelling blend of vintage aesthetics and modern specifications, featuring a slim 11.95mm case with 300m water resistance and a unique inverted sector dial with aged lume. Reviewers highlight its versatile stainless steel case with radial brushing, scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and comfortable beads-of-rice bracelet or FKM rubber strap. The black version is described as timelessly cool, while the green offers a unique, rugged aesthetic. The DOXA Army utilizes the reliable ETA 2824 movement and is priced at $2,050 and up. Some owners find the bronze version's mixed-metal look unappealing and question its price premium, while others appreciate the ceramic bezel. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA Army highly for its successful execution of vintage charm with modern materials and specifications.

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.
