Lilienthal Berlin Zeitgeist Automatik – Silver BordeauxvsSeiko Presage Style60's

Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin Zeitgeist Automatik – Silver Bordeaux for its Bauhaus-inspired minimalist design and good value. The Sellita SW200 automatic movement is noted, and one owner reports an average deviation of less than 2 seconds per day over 12 days. The watch is described as a great first watch, suitable for both casual wear and formal occasions, with a well-regarded leather strap. On balance, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin Zeitgeist Automatik – Silver Bordeaux highly for its sophisticated, clean dial and overall wearability.

The Seiko Presage Style60's collection is praised for its pleasing retro aesthetic, with reviewers highlighting the box-shaped crystal, faceted indexes, and applied markers. Specific models are noted for their smaller 39.5mm case size and comfortable new bracelet, alongside a charming steel bezel, though this bezel is decorative. The collection offers an affordable price point, with time-and-date models costing €490-€540 and GMT versions at €670. However, the automatic 4R35 movement's claimed accuracy tolerance of +45/-35 seconds per day is flagged as a potential dealbreaker by multiple sources. The Open Heart models feature a 41-hour power reserve and a 24-hour sub-dial, with one reviewer expressing a personal dislike for open-heart dials and questioning the strap choice on a specific rose gold PVD model. GMT models use the 4R34 automatic GMT movement, while open-heart versions use the 4R39 movement. All models feature Hardlex crystals and 50m water resistance.
