They're from the same family but at fairly different price points, so perhaps not an entirely apples-to-apples comparison. That said, I got the 5205R, timeless elegance and modern vibe wrapped into one, works well dressed up and casual too. Cheers.

Brown dial on 5905r is amazing. Moonphase is nice to look at but chron can be useful (to some). Not even money though.

Both are beautiful. Unfortunately, neither wear well on my small wrists.

I have a smaller wrist and the 5205 is fine. Like many watches, the shape of your wrist plays a part of it as well. Flat wrists tend to be more forgiving for watch sizing. Rounder wrists less so. The 5205 to me wears like a true 40mm unlike say a SubC.

5905 in general is a larger and thicker watch.


So for the OP, if size matters, you may want to try it out. On aesthetics, it would be personal taste but for a dressier piece, the moon phase is a beauty!

I have a 15cm circumference wrist roughly and the 5905r felt pretty big when I tried it. I would go 5205 if the wrist was on the smaller size. As mentioned by many, the moonphase is beautiful too

5905 > 5205 for me, especially 5905P with the blue dial.

Both gorgeous references. The 5905 is definitely larger, so it’s a good idea to try it on before cross shopping those models.

Here is mine on a 16 cm wrist.
