Olech & Wajs Watches MIRAGE III

Owners praise the Olech & Wajs Watches MIRAGE III as a neo-vintage automatic Flieger chronograph available for under 1000 Euros, appreciating its original and appealing design. The watch is noted for its comfortable and sleek feel on the wrist, making it suitable for casual wear, though one owner finds the movement's ticking to be somewhat loud. Overall, owners rate the Olech & Wajs Watches MIRAGE III highly for its unique design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

Orologi Calamai G50 CRONO

Owners widely praise the Orologi Calamai G50 CRONO's unique concept of using recycled fighter jet turbine steel for its 40mm case and its collaborations with the Italian Air Force, finding the founder's storytelling refreshing. The applied indices, hands, and overall color palette are noted for their crispness and good composition, with the large minutes on the 3 o'clock subdial being appreciated. However, the typography on the registers is considered too tall and bold, and the logo scaling is poor with excessive spacing between text lines. The chronograph pushers and asymmetrical dual crowns are seen as lacking elegance, and the bezel's minute track to hour track switch is confusing. The 4:30 date window is disliked, with recessed subdials casting harsh shadows on it. Overall, owners rate the Orologi Calamai G50 CRONO highly for its compelling story and unique case material.
