What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

RZE Resolute Type A

The RZE Resolute Type A is praised for its build quality, finishing, and highly legible dial with luminous elements, all at a $499 price point. Its sandblasted titanium case features an UltraHex coating, and it measures 39.5mm by 11.5mm with 100 meters of water resistance. A reviewer notes the Miyota 82S0 movement's crown operation feels grainy. On balance, reviewers highlight the RZE Resolute Type A as a well-built and legible pilot's watch offering good value.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
