Ciao Gente!
Da quando mi hanno regalato un orologio automatico di marca cinese, ho iniziato ad interessarmi al mondo degli orologi automatici cinesi, scoprendo oggetti interessanti ed a buon mercato.
By Benyar è, diciamo, la divisione economica di Pagani Design, marchio che già conosco e del quale posseggo un orologio automatico. Un automatico Pagani ha un costo che mediamente va dai 130 ai 180 euro e monta, normalmente, un movimento giapponese Seiko NH35, mentre i Benyar montano movimenti cinesi, meno affasciananti ma, per la mia esperienza fino ad ora, altrettanto efficaci (sebbene privi di datario).
Precisazione doverosa: leggo di “recensori” che acquistano un orologio meccanico automatico e poi mettono una stella perché tolgono l’orologio la sera e lo trovano fermo la mattina. Beh, sia chiaro che un movimento meccanico a carica “automatica” si carica da solo con i movimenti del braccio, ma quando lo si lascia fermo, esaurisce la carica nel giro di qualche ora, se non ha carica sufficiente. È come una batteria, se non viene caricata, si esaurisce.
Questo è perfettamente normale.
Se si ferma, basta caricarlo un po’ manualmente, girando semplicemente la corona in senso orario, regolarlo, ed indossarlo, continuerà a caricarsi muovendo il braccio normalmente.
Ma parliamo di questo modello nello specifico: By Benyar BY-5121, un orologio da circa 60 euro, con cassa in acciaio inox, per nulla scontato in questa fascia di prezzo, vetro Hardlex (un vetro minerale particolarmente duro) e bracciale in pelle.
Non viene specificato, nemmeno sul sito Benyar, quale movimento sia montato in questo modello, ma è, visivamente, identico al G3265Z che è montato su un altro Benyar che posseggo. Un movimento 100% cinese, che gode di buona fama.
Nel mio caso si sta rivelando preciso quanto basta, nel senso che non perde o guadagna in modo visibile. Di solito, questi movimenti vengono dati per uno scarto di -20/+40 secondi al giorno. Mi sembra proprio che il mio esemplare sia ben al di sotto di questi limiti. È il secondo orologio By Benyar che prendo, con questo movimento, e non ho avuto brutte sorprese.
Lo stile dell’orologio è sobrio, per quanto riguarda la cassa, molto lineare e senza fronzoli, ma il pezzo che cattura l’attenzione è il quadrante “skeleton”, con il movimento completamente a vista. Provate ad osservarlo per qualche decina di secondi e resterete ipnotizzati! Per me è fantastico, e non passa inosservato, pur senza cadere nel vistoso. Questo, almeno, per la colorazione che ho scelto io.
La cassa è abbastanza grande. Sul mio polso, molto sottile, risalta in modo particolare, ma comunque non fa l’effetto di “sveglia della nonna messa al polso”, non so se mi spiego.
Il fondello è misto, acciaio/vetro, e lascia anch’esso il movimento a vista.
Le sfere (lancette) sono luminescenti e quindi permettono anche la lettura notturna, se adeguatamente “caricate” di giorno. Comunque non durano molto e se vi svegliate nel cuore della notte, penso che le troverete buie.
L’orologio è dichiarato water resistant 30m/3atm, quindi resistente agli schizzi ma non alle immersioni. Si può tenerlo per lavarsi le mani, ma non per la doccia.
La parte che mi convince meno di questo prodotto è il bracciale. Molto robusto, in cuoio ultra spesso, anche troppo. È rigido e si fa fatica ad indossarlo, specie se si ha il polso sottile, come il mio. Con un po’ d’uso resta sempre rigido ma prende un po’ la forma. Anche il colore appare più chiaro che nelle foto della pagina Amazon. Ne ho ordinato uno più sottile e di colore più scuro, secondo me più adatto allo stile dell’orologio.
Due parole sulla confezione: molto curata, un cofanetto in cartone rivestito in materiale tipo finta pelle, con logo Benyar ben in evidenza e chiusura magnetica. Interno imbottito, con libriccino di istruzioni e certificato di garanzia. Si fa una bella figura anche se lo si regala, anche se il marchio non è uno di quelli “wow”.
In conclusione, un orologio meccanico dallo stile, secondo me, molto accattivante, ben costruito, rispetto al prezzo, e preciso.
Bracciale più adatto a chi ha il polso grosso.
Sono, comunque, molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto. Per la cifra spesa, non credo si possa pretendere di più.
Spero di esservi stato utile

It looks stunning. Watch us good for the price and is an automatic watch. The pins popped out within a few weeks and you should upgrade the band but for the money who cares. It’s not awesome at keeping time but for $35 what do you expect. By a seiko or citizen if you need precision.

This is a substantial watch that is well worth the price point. Beautiful workings and movement. No “extras” in the design of the face, it is very tasteful in its look. Leather band is thick and well made. The band won’t break… Benyar is a brand that can compete with the bigger established watch brands!

I purchased this watch as an experiment before buying a much more expensive “grail” watch that was the same shape and size. I wanted to make sure that I would like something this large before the purchase. After having this several months and wearing it when I am not comfortable with something more expensive for fear of damage… I have to say I am impressed for the money spent. The value is excellent. The strap is hard ugly plastic feeling but has held up very well. The watch itself is attractive and seems to be well made. By sight I thought the movement might be an NH35, but while it does hand wind, it does not hack. The main thing though… it is keeping very good time. I would call it a very good value for $50. A person could put a better strap on it and do a lot worse for a lot more money with some of the garbage I have seen available. If I run across someone at some point who really likes it I may give it away as I have done in the past. The difference this time is I will not feel like I gave away trash. I have purchased 2 Benyar watches since this one and I have had the same experience with those as well.

Nice watch for the money – it seems to be running well, and it is a good build, given it’s not really all that water-resistant or shockproof, but it’s heavy with a really great crystal; Just don’t get it too wet or drop it.
It doesn’t have a date complication, which is a little bittersweet – it’s such a PITA to change dates on my watches so I bought this one specifically coz it didn’t have that feature, and now I miss it… I knocked it down a star NOT coz of this, but coz it’s running a tad fast… Mine is running about a minute fast per two weeks but hey – I guess I can live with that.

Mir gefällt die Uhr sehr gut, was natürlich Geschmackssache ist. Man hat einen schönen Einblick auf das Uhrwerk, trotzdem sind die Zeiger sehr gut zu erkennen, was bei Skelettuhren nicht selbstverständlich ist
Uhr und Armband machen einen wertigen, soliden Eindruck, was ich bei dem Preis gar nicht erwartet habe.
Innerhalb einer Woche geht die Uhr eine Minute vor, was ein sehr guter Wert ist.
Fazit: Empfehlenswert.

Received a watch missing part of the band, and one that had scratches on its face.
EDIT: Tried a third time, and looks like it’s a charm, so I added two stars to my original review. Still should have had better quality control, but this latest watch seems pretty good for the price. It seems to run slightly fast, but I just adjust the time every couple days and it’s not a big deal.

I love the detail in the face of the watch that allows you to see the inside gears (skeleton style). I have had the watch for about 2 weeks and find that it accurately keeps time. I take the watch off over night and the time is still right in the morning.
Watch face is nice and big!
Watch band is thick and durable.
It is a men’s watch, so it looks huge on me, which is fine, I like men’s watches for this reason 😀
I would absolutely recommend this watch for anyone who likes automatic skeleton watches.

Honestly for an automatic watch at this price point, I didn’t expect much. I expected it not to keep time accurately. I expected the quality to lack also. On the contrary, it keeps perfect time. It’ll and it’ll last roughly 48 hours from fully wound to run down and not running any longer. That’s if you wind it up and just lay it down so the rotor doesn’t wind the main spring automatically. The quality is fantastic. Thick leather band, no machining flaws on the internals. Little decorative details on the face design that add a nice subtle accent to an already attractive watch. Time will tell on its longevity. But as of right now in the month I’ve had it, it gets 5 stars easily.

I bought this because I wanted a mechanical skeleton watch to add to my collection. It was on sale for $32 and looked good, so I picked it up. It’s become my workhorse watch in that time, and sees more use than my Citizens, Seikos, or Tags or Hublot.
The crystal has a couple little dings at the top edge from when I was working under my car but is otherwise scratch-free. The black finish has worn down on the outer edge of the bezel and the edges of the case by the strap connector, which (imho) gives it a cool patina as it shows the copper underneath. Again, this became my workhorse and has been put through a lot more use than my dress watches have; if you use it as such, the finish will likely last many years longer.
I do leathercrafting and had planned to make a custom strap right away, but the one that came with it seemed decent enough that I left it on. It’s just about time to replace it. The leather is painted and highly treated which makes it durable, but it as the paint wears it looks more “worn out” than having a “patina.” Pairing this with a custom strap, as other reviewers have, is a good move.
I’ve gotten a lot of compliments for it in the last couple years, as people notice the mechanism moving inside. The color balance between gunmetal, chrome, and gold is great at this price point, and it manages to strike a perfect balance of subtle and flash. It’s a watch that can look “tough” while still being sophisticated… Isn’t that what we all want?
If you’re only going to have one or two watches that suit work, play, and formal events, this one is a great choice. I don’t think you’ll find much better for at least another two hundred bucks.
