What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design, thin 39.6mm case, and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, and packaging. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported to be exceptionally accurate, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its exceptional vintage aesthetic and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its mix of brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The price point of $995 USD is a point of contention, with one reviewer suggesting it may be high compared to competitors.

Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster

Owners widely report terrific build quality and a feel similar to the 1960s original, with some appreciating its reasonable lug-to-lug and better-than-expected appearance in person. The compact 39mm case is praised for its wearability, especially on smaller wrists, and offers impressive 1,000m water resistance. However, the Soprod P024 movement's 38-hour power reserve is a point of criticism, as is a bezel that can be difficult to grip and weak lume. Some owners find the watch wears on the smaller side, and the date complication is seen by one owner as detracting from the design. The "Pacman" variant is noted as polarizing, with one owner questioning their purchase, while the "Ghost Purple" variant's 30 and 45 numerals are described as having a rushed aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster highly for its faithful reissue, impressive water resistance, and comfortable wearability at a competitive price.
