Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the MKII Hawkinge for its understated elegance, simplicity, and resemblance to classic military watches, with the all-brushed case finishing described as silky, satiny, and smooth, rivaling watches at significantly higher price points. The 37.8mm case size and no-date display are generally well-received, though some find the 18mm lug width less desirable than 20mm. The stock leather strap is considered impractical, with many preferring thinner Eulit Perlon straps. On balance, owners rate the MKII Hawkinge highly for its exceptional finishing and classic design at its price point.
Owners widely praise the Stowa Flieger for its attention to detail and value for money, with one owner noting the comfortable rubber strap with a pleasant vanilla scent. Some owners appreciate the blued steel hands, contrasting them with painted alternatives. The Stowa Flieger is available in a 36mm case size. Overall, owners rate the Stowa Flieger highly for its value and detailed finishing.
