What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Seestern S424 Full Lume Pilot

Owners widely praise the Seestern S424 Full Lume Pilot for its full lume dial, calling it an appealing and mesmerizing feature. One owner noted a similar watch from the brand stopped working. Overall, owners rate the Seestern S424 Full Lume Pilot highly for its striking full lume dial.

MKII Hawkinge

Owners widely praise the MKII Hawkinge for its understated elegance, simplicity, and resemblance to classic pilot watches, with many specifically valuing its 38mm size, no-date display, BGW9 lume, and 100m water resistance. The all-brushed case is frequently highlighted for its silky, satiny, and smooth fit and finish, with workmanship that rivals much more expensive timepieces. Some owners find the 18mm lug width less desirable than 20mm, and the stock leather strap is considered impractical, with Eulit Perlon straps being a preferred alternative. One owner advises against MKII due to long delivery and warranty wait times. Overall, owners rate the MKII Hawkinge highly for its refined finishing and classic design at its price point.
