What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

MKII Hawkinge

Owners widely praise the MKII Hawkinge for its understated elegance, simplicity, and resemblance to classic pilot watches, with many specifically valuing its 38mm size, no-date display, BGW9 lume, and 100m water resistance. The all-brushed case is frequently highlighted for its silky, satiny, and smooth fit and finish, with workmanship that rivals much more expensive timepieces. Some owners find the 18mm lug width less desirable than 20mm, and the stock leather strap is considered impractical, with Eulit Perlon straps being a preferred alternative. One owner advises against MKII due to long delivery and warranty wait times. Overall, owners rate the MKII Hawkinge highly for its refined finishing and classic design at its price point.

MKII Hellion

The MKII Hellion is widely praised for its immaculate fit and finish, with a mirror-polished case that bridges field and dress styles. Owners appreciate its vintage-inspired lug design and the satisfying heft that balances classic appeal. The large crown is a noted feature, adding a masculine touch to the refined design. One owner questions if the price aligns with the specifications. Overall, owners rate the MKII Hellion highly for its exceptional finishing and versatile, refined design at the price point.
