Which Art Deco piece should I get?

Hi there! I’ve been looking into some Art Deco inspired watches lately, as I really love the aesthetic. Which of these 2 should I get? Or is there another one I’m missing that I should get instead? Thanks for helping!

Love the Vario. I believe Smith's do a similar one but the chance of getting one is similar to getting a Rolex Daytona.

No the Vario has it.

I like both, honestly. The case dimensions & specs they offer, plus I'm a sucker for no date pieces. The Baltic is a bit more "casual" though (so it gets my vote). If my office job didn't have me working from home so much these days, it honestly would come down to a coin flip.

Sector dials and tanks are the usual Art deco watches. A vintage pie pan Omega would be a nice touch.

Both are lovely so I imagine the pill will be really close… I think the Baltic just about edges it for me, it looks like it’ll have more of a timelessness about it.

I like both of these very much, but I give the slight advantage to Baltic. Vario’s watch looks more like a Tuxedo design, I have one just like it and for everyday wear it just doesn’t fit the mold.

The Baltic on the other hand looks like a timeless watch. It can go with any occasion, and it’s so unique in it’s design it will age like fine wine.

Yep, same haha. Trying to resist the urge to get both…

Maybe look at the black version of the Baltic for a more apples to apples?

I like both watches...tough choice

Both lovely. The Vario by a tiny margin for me!

I voted Baltic, but they're both lovely watches that seem like a bargain for the price.

As for others, it's a bit further up market but check out the Bremoir Lexington.

Haha all great choices. I personally would go for the Baltic. Just a good looking watch and a respected brand.

I’ve thought about it. I’ve seen a fair priced Vario floating around

For myself, this is the one that I have purchased. The picture was taken in bright light but the center of the dial is a light creme color which get darker with the ambient light. I am sure you can find picture on the web under different lighting condition that would show this.
