I’m glad I’m not the only Hanhart fanboy here 😎
Oris!
Oris uses a coin edge bezel here, not fluted. That said, these are beautiful watches.
Under rated Globemaster!
This Dubey & Schaldenbrand has an interesting bezel but for a more direct comparison, I would check out the Omega Globemaster line.
I second the Globemaster

My Citizen pilot is crushing the fluted bezel.

To summerize, coin edge literally looks like the edge of coin; very fine grooves. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is good example of coin edge. Fluted is more pronounced with taller ridges. Check out a Rolex Datejust with a fluted bezel and you'll see the ridge peaks are much taller than they are on a coin edge bezel. If you have any other questions, just holler! I'm always happy to educate!
There's some good info in this thread: https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/preferred-favorite-bezel-edge.5219170/
Although it's neither a fluted bezel or a coin edged bezel, I really like the style of bezel used on the Norqain Adventure Sport Chrono. I'm not sure what the proper term is, but I think it can be referred to as either a knurled bezel or hob nail bezel.
Interesting I saw this at a local AD in some light blue colour and found it actually nice but have not noticed this special side of the bezel

There's something about the Norqain design language that I really like, and although I can't put my finger on it, I know that the bezel is a large factor in it's appeal to me.
Oris Big Crown Propilot. Fell in love for this watch because of this amazing crown.
I already have it and love it it is very understated 😍 I am just currently looking for something like the hanhart for example. (Your model was actually my first ever automatic watch and then I got this so i gave it to my father)

Which model ?
Tudor Style 38 or 41 with fluted bezel (smooth is also possible) with different dial variations

The posted example also has a coin edge bezel. 🤫

That’s what I thought at first until I zoomed in on it a bit. I’d say it’s fluted because the ridges are a bit deeper than a coin but I could see it going either way.
Under rated Globemaster!
I love that watch. It’s absolutely commanding! A grail of mine.
Hanhart.
I like these coin edge bezels. They’re stunning. I tried the new Rolex 1908 recently and I found its bezel one of its highlights. 🥃
Hanhart, Omega glove master, Oris pointer date, vintage Tudor
A number of vintage Omega Connies too.
🙂
The Longines Pilot Majetek looks pretty cool I think.
I have been looking for the same thing! Looking to add a classic fluted bezel dressier watch to the collection.
Does anyone have experience with the Seiko mod versions that offer fluted bezels?
