Reviews

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

Lorca MODEL No.2 Chronograph

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its 37mm case size, which owners report wears well even on smaller wrists. Reviewers note its quality bracelet and clasp, contributing to its suitability as a daily wearer with a blend of vintage and modern design. One reviewer highlights a unique grooved bi-directional bezel as an atypical but potentially divisive feature. On balance, owners and reviewers view the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH positively due to its wearability and well-executed design elements at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.

Massena LAB Uni-Racer

Owners praise the Massena LAB Uni-Racer for its refined vintage chronograph aesthetic, highlighting the 39mm case size and manual-wind Sellita SW510 M movement. Reviewers note the period-perfect Super-LumiNova, red crosshair dial, and snailing on recessed registers. The watch is priced at $3495 and offers a 58-hour power reserve with 50m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Massena LAB Uni-Racer highly for its faithful execution of vintage chronograph design cues in a modern package.
