What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Zephyr

Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its stunning guilloche-style dial, refined and perfectly sized unique case shape, and comfortable wearability. The Miyota 9 series movement is noted by owners as being a little noisy, with a rotor whirring audible on quick hand movements. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its distinctive dial and case design at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage aesthetic and value for money are praised. The bracelet's refinement and perceived rattle are noted as a drawback.

Praesidus A-5 UDT

The Praesidus A-5 UDT is noted for its historically inspired design, featuring an oversized crown cap and chain that pays homage to WW2 canteen watches. Reviewers highlight its functional dial with embossed, Super-LumiNova filled numerals and markers for legibility, alongside 200m water resistance and a 38mm brushed stainless steel case. Some owners find the 11.7mm thickness problematic, describing it as disproportionately tall. The watch's ana/digi functionality and connection to special operations forces are also praised. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Praesidus A-5 UDT for its unique historical design elements and functional dial.
