What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Zelos Thresher 44

Owners widely praise the Zelos Thresher 44, with one owner noting its finish has proven remarkably scratch-resistant. However, one owner found the finishing on their hammered grey variant not as well done as expected. The Zelos Thresher 44 with an agate dial sold out in 90 seconds, with one owner receiving theirs and noting the bracelet was fully wrapped. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Thresher 44 highly for its desirability and scratch-resistant finish.
