What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.

Tudor Pelagos Ultra

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is praised for its 1000 meters of water resistance, METAS-certified Calibre MT5612-U movement, and fully lumed dial and bezel. Reviewers highlight its titanium case and self-adjusting clasp as key features. The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is slightly larger at 43mm than some other models in the line but wears comfortably. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Pelagos Ultra highly for its technical specifications and comfortable wearability as a flagship dive watch.

From video reviewers

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra's all-titanium construction provides a lightweight and durable case. One weakness is the lack of lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the helium release valve is a notable feature or a drawback for a more streamlined design.
