What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman SST GMT

Owners praise the Glycine Airman SST GMT for its comfortable wear, good build quality, accuracy, lume, and historical significance. The 24-hour dial and compressor-style GMT ring are noted as great features. One owner found the Sellita SW330 movement authentic, though expected Glycine branding on the rotor. The dial is considered busy, and one owner experienced the watch stopping after a day on a winder with a rattling rotor, suggesting service. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Airman SST GMT highly for its comfortable wear and historical significance.

Pinion Pure Bronze

The Pinion Pure Bronze is lauded for its refreshing design, featuring a beautiful layered dial with applied numerals and luminous indexes. Reviewers praise its satisfying manual-winding action from the Unitas 6498 movement, which offers a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer suggested a satin finish for the crown to match the case back and buckle. Overall, reviewers rate the Pinion Pure Bronze highly for its unique bronze case that patinates over time and its clear, subtly finished dial.
