What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto is praised for its high-accuracy quartz movement, with owners noting its comfort and reliable performance. Reviewers highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, featuring a sandblasted steel case, tritium tubes for constant low-light visibility, and 100-meter water resistance. One owner finds the 41mm case runs a bit small. The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto utilizes an ETA F06.412 quartz movement with a claimed accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year and includes a GMT bidirectional bezel. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto highly for its comfortable wear and dependable, high-accuracy quartz movement.

Baltic Prismic Stone

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Baltic Prismic Stone for its striking and unique natural stone dials, with specific mentions of the bloodstone and red agate variants being highlights. The watch is noted for its refined, retro dress watch aesthetic, featuring a well-finished 36mm bi-metal case combining stainless steel and titanium, and a slim profile measuring 9.2mm or 9.5mm thick. The hand-wound movement, either an ETA Peseux 7001 or a La Joux-Perret D100, is generally seen as reliable, offering a 42-hour or 50-hour power reserve respectively. However, some owners find the collection overpriced and the small, recessed crown uncomfortable for winding. The Milanese bracelet is also a point of contention, with some finding it may not articulate well for smaller wrists. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +1/+2 seconds per day and another around -6 seconds per day.

From video reviewers

The unique natural stone dials are a standout feature of the Baltic Prismic Stone. The slim 9mm case, constructed from stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium, is also a notable aspect. However, some buyers may find the price of €1,300 to be a trade-off, considering the watch's Swiss movement and slim profile may not justify the cost compared to competitors.
