Reviews

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

Farer Universal Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Farer Universal Chronograph's 38.5mm case size as ideal for slimmer wrists and its overall wearability, with one owner specifically noting its sub-12mm thickness and sub-46mm lug-to-lug measurements. The watch's fit, finish, and presentation receive commendation, and its dial is described as more appealing in person and surprisingly versatile. Accuracy is reported as good, with one owner noting it lost only 4 seconds over 10 days. The Dubois Dépraz DD2022 movement is mentioned as keeping time well. On balance, owners rate the Farer Universal Chronograph highly for its excellent dimensions and refined finishing at its price point.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its 37mm case size, which owners report wears well even on smaller wrists. Reviewers note its quality bracelet and clasp, contributing to its suitability as a daily wearer with a blend of vintage and modern design. One reviewer highlights a unique grooved bi-directional bezel as an atypical but potentially divisive feature. On balance, owners and reviewers view the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH positively due to its wearability and well-executed design elements at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
