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 12-hr

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr owners widely praise its comfortable, solid bracelet with screw links and tight end-link fit, along with its awesome sandwich dial featuring superb grain and crisp details. The 12-hour bezel is noted as excellent for tracking a second time zone, and the orange second hand adds a nice pop. One owner reports the watch has outstanding quality and a perfect fit on smaller wrists, while another notes its legibility and great presence on various straps. A reviewer describes it as a 40mm stainless steel tool watch with a matte, brushed finish and a sandwich dial, powered by an ETA 2892-A2 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Some in the line report the lume could be brighter. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr highly for its build quality and versatile tool-watch design.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
