### Breakdown by Watch Collection Metrics:

 

#### Brand - 8.5/10 (Weight: 10%)

The collection features a mix of established, highly respected brands such as Sinn, Oris, and Squale, as well as rising microbrands like Lorier and Yema. Universal Geneve adds a touch of vintage prestige with the Polerouter, a cult classic dress watch. The combination of heritage brands and newer microbrands offers a balanced range of reputation and exclusivity, though some of the microbrands lack the same level of market presence.

 

#### History & Innovation - 8.6/10 (Weight: 10%)

This collection shines in terms of historical significance, especially with models like the Universal Geneve Polerouter, which was designed by Gerald Genta. Sinn's long-standing reputation for high-quality tool watches also adds depth. The innovative aspects of Oris' eco-friendly collaboration with Cervo Volante in their Big Crown model and Yema's iconic Superman model provide a nod to modern advancements in watchmaking.

 

#### Rarity - 8.2/10 (Weight: 10%)

While the collection includes limited edition models such as the Oris X Cervo Volante, most watches are relatively accessible. However, the inclusion of the vintage Universal Geneve Polerouter raises the rarity level. Squale and Sinn watches, while not highly rare, are often sought after for their tool-watch robustness, contributing to an elevated sense of exclusivity.

 

#### Material - 8.5/10 (Weight: 10%)

The collection primarily features high-quality stainless steel watches, with Sinn and Squale offering particularly durable construction suited for rugged environments. Oris stands out with its eco-conscious materials in the Cervo Volante edition. While no precious metals are present, the solid and functional materials used across the collection give it high marks for robustness.

 

#### Movement - 8.7/10 (Weight: 10%)

This collection is entirely automatic, with a strong emphasis on reliable, robust movements. Sinn, Oris, and Squale are known for their precise and durable movements, while Yema and Lorier add more affordable, yet reliable, automatic calibers. The Universal Geneve Polerouter, though vintage, uses a historically significant micro-rotor movement, adding some unique flair to the movement variety.

 

#### Versatility - 8.9/10 (Weight: 10%)

This collection offers excellent versatility, with options for diving, aviation, and dress wear. The dive watches, in particular, are robust enough for daily wear, while the Oris Big Crown offers a more refined option for casual and dress occasions. The Universal Geneve Polerouter adds an elegant vintage touch for more formal settings, offering a complete range of styles for various occasions.

 

#### Complications - 8.2/10 (Weight: 10%)

The collection includes useful complications like date displays and a GMT function (in the Oris Big Crown), as well as robust dive watch features such as unidirectional bezels and screw-down crowns. While none of the watches have particularly rare complications, the practical nature of the complications, such as the inner rotating bezel on the Sinn 104 and the 300m water resistance on the Squale, contribute positively to the score.

 

#### Functions - 8.6/10 (Weight: 10%)

The dive watches in this collection offer robust water resistance, with the Squale and Yema Superman reaching up to 300m. Sinn adds excellent legibility and shock resistance, while Oris and Universal Geneve offer additional functionality in the form of GMT and date features. All the watches are well-equipped for everyday wear and adventure, though none push the envelope in terms of extreme functionality like perpetual calendars or alarms.

 

#### Dials & Design - 9.0/10 (Weight: 10%)

The collection’s designs are impressive, featuring clean, vintage-inspired dials across the board. The Universal Geneve Polerouter stands out with its timeless, elegant dial, while the Lorier Neptune and Squale 1521 embrace classic dive aesthetics. Sinn’s 104 model adds a modern touch with its aviation-inspired design. The Oris Big Crown offers an eco-friendly aesthetic with a distinct personality, contributing to a diverse yet cohesive collection.

 

#### Cohesiveness - 8.4/10 (Weight: 10%)

The collection maintains a cohesive theme focused on functional, adventure-ready watches with a mix of vintage inspiration and modern execution. The presence of a dress watch (Polerouter) alongside sporty dive and aviation models slightly reduces the cohesiveness, but the collection still feels unified in its focus on high-quality, practical timepieces.

### Collection Strengths:

- Excellent variety of vintage-inspired and modern designs, all with robust automatic movements.

- Strong focus on durable, adventure-ready watches with reputable dive and aviation models.

- The inclusion of the Universal Geneve Polerouter adds a touch of vintage elegance and history.

 

### Potential Ways for Improvement:

- The collection could benefit from the inclusion of a more complex complication, such as a chronograph or moonphase, to enhance technical diversity.

- Adding a watch with a different case material, like titanium or bronze, could increase material depth and overall variety.
