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.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
