On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Hamburg Chrono highly for its design details and value at its price point.

RZE Urbanist

The solar movement is noted for keeping good time and is guaranteed for life. Production models feature a push-in crown, a change from earlier screw-down versions. Overall, owners rate the RZE Urbanist highly for its durable, lightweight titanium construction and reliable solar movement.
