Fears Brunswick 38 (Steel)vsHorage Supersede Dual Time

The Fears Brunswick 38 (Steel) is widely praised for its elegant 38mm case size and striking dial finishes, with reviewers highlighting the hand-polished Polar White dial's art-deco numerals, the Silver Sector dial's Arabic numerals, and the Champagne dial's glass bead-blasted texture. Case finishing is consistently noted as well-executed with a mix of brushing and polishing. Ownership and reviews mention 100 meters of water resistance. Some owners question the $4,400 price point, with one suggesting the bracelet adds an unjustified cost. The watch utilizes a manually wound ETA 7001 movement with a 40-hour power reserve, which one reviewer found a bit dated and noted the lack of hacking seconds; another review noted a La Joux Perret D100 movement with a 50-hour power reserve, stating its finishing was appropriate for the $3,650 price point.

The Horage Supersede Dual Time is widely praised for its technically impressive, 98% in-house micro-rotor GMT movement, thin 10mm case, and 39.5mm size, along with excellent finishing and a comfortable bracelet. Owners also note its robust 200m water resistance and 904L steel construction. Some reviewers find the GMT sub-dial illegible, and one owner reported a bezel alignment issue requiring repair, while another flagged the date setting as potentially confusing. The $8,000 price point is considered high by some, though others view it as exceptional value for the movement and build quality. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Horage Supersede Dual Time highly for its innovative micro-rotor GMT movement and high level of finishing at its price point.
