What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic for its sharp finishing, textured pearlescent dial, and excellent lume. The simple, understated design and comfortable 38mm size are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note the bracelet lacks quick micro-adjustments and the quick-release spring bars can dig into the wrist. One owner found the lume blocks potentially thinner and the font on larger numbers less desirable than a standard typeface, though the seconds hand was considered a success. Overall, owners highly recommend the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic for its great craftsmanship and value.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
