Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon Gold Black InkvsVario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition)

The Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon Gold Black Ink is noted for its cohesive and impressive design, featuring a photorealistic moon phase display. Reviewers highlight the three-layer skeletonized dial with Côtes de Genève finishing on the lower dial, and the moon phase is visible in the dark. However, the rose gold accents on the dial and hands are considered suboptimal for low-light readability, and the crown guards are described as significantly sharp. The Oktopus II Moon Gold is priced at CHF 27,000 (ex VAT). On balance, reviewers praise the Oktopus Moon Gold Black Ink for its striking design and detailed dial work, tempered by concerns over low-light legibility and sharp crown guards.

Owners widely praise the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) for its unique single-hand time display, captivating dial featuring a wave pattern and red tiger eye stone with subtle striations, and Art Deco numerals. The 38mm stainless steel case, double-domed sapphire crystal, and German leather strap contribute to a comfortable and elegant build, with the watch weighing 74g. Some users find the varied font sizes on the dial distracting, while others appreciate the cool style and dial colors. One owner suggests reworking the sub-dial's seconds hand and track for a less sporty look, and another felt the English text and font balance were not ideal. Overall, owners rate the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) highly for its unique dial and comfortable wear at an affordable price.
