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 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35A movement's accuracy and power reserve are discussed. The Miyota 82S5 gilt movement is also mentioned. The watch's value is questioned when compared to competitors like the Seiko 5.
