What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

MKII Project 300

Owners widely praise the MKII Project 300 for its balanced aesthetic, with one owner noting its lume "glows like a torch." Reviewers highlight its design as a dive watch inspired by the Omega Seamaster 300, emphasizing high legibility with a bold yet balanced appearance. One owner found the 41.25mm case fit their wrist perfectly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the MKII Project 300 highly for its striking lume and well-proportioned dive watch design.

Traska Seafarer Charcoal

Owners widely praise the Traska Seafarer Charcoal for its attractive retro design, comfortable bracelet with on-the-fly adjustment, and exceptional value, noting its durable construction and scratch-resistant steel treatment. Some owners report issues with crooked indices or rotor problems, and one found the 150m water resistance low for its style. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Traska Seafarer Charcoal highly for its impressive build quality and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Traska Seafarer Charcoal's notable strength is its refined finishing, which elevates it from a field watch to a luxury-like piece. A shared weakness is the dim lume, which may be a drawback for those who value nighttime visibility. Reviewers disagree on the watch's build, with one reviewer noting a more substantial build and larger case size, while the other does not mention this feature.
