My collection has many watches and some from the same brands. Is there really that much difference between a Submariner and a Sea Dweller? How about the little difference between a GMT and an Explorer II? Not much. The major brands repackage their watches, make a little change, and presto - a new watch.
At Cincinnati Watch Company, their models are really different. My first watch was the Desk Diver, a fun spoof on a Submariner. After that, I liked the looks of the Concourse, but as afraid that I’m duplicating my first purchase. Not so! They are so different in style and substance, that without the branding, I would have thought the watches came from two different manufacturers. Both are well engineered, have the form of the intended purpose, and have great style. The one thing they have in common is great timing. I’m observing +1 second per day.
I’m extremely happy with both watches. Who knows, I may get a third!
