What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT SAR Edition

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT SAR Edition is praised for its anti-magnetic properties, sandwich lume dial, and overall construction quality for its price point. It features a brushed Grade 5 titanium case, a navy blue sandwich dial with an orange minute track and seconds hand, and a Sellita SW330 movement with a 56-hour power reserve. Minor drawbacks noted include bracelet sizing adjustment and lume brightness. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT SAR Edition highly for its robust construction and unique dial design at its price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
