Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.

Owners widely praise the Maen Classic 36 for its salmon dial and clean moon phase, with its radial brushing also noted as a positive design element. One owner reports excellent quality, drawing from experience with a sibling model. A concern exists regarding the inability to try on microbrand watches before purchase to assess value. One owner experienced a non-functional watch upon arrival. Overall, owners value the Maen Classic 36 for its attractive dial and design elements, though a significant quality control issue was reported by one owner.
