Very nice surprise this expedition north GMT! It's simple, I can't take it off anymore! Ultra light, it sits very well on the wrist (17). Compact despite its 41 mm. I love the shape of its very successful cushion case.

Timex paid attention to detail, the dial is very beautiful and readable, the date is in black, the GMT mention is yellow like the hand, the crown is signed, sapphire crystal. Titanium case and bezel.
Purists will say that we could have done without the open back. I think Timex insists on the fact that it is an automatic.

All this really makes you want to go on an adventure.

Expedition GMT 

Very endearing this Meca revolt, it pays homage to the mangas of the 80s, James Bond atmosphere, as you can see on the box. It is teeming with small funny details.
The bezel is fixed and interchangeable (a second one is provided), we find inscriptions on the top right in a very original way, like on the lens of a camera.
The case takes the atypical forms of the meca 2, this time a little less angular.
The bezel is screwed on very easily which allows to change look.
The dial is straight out of a manga, with its second yellow lightning and its small black syringe hands.
The bronze-colored crown is screwed, because make no mistake it is a real tool watch waterproof to 200 m with an indestructible myota 82S0 caliber.
The very nice case back represents a combat swimmer at the foot of a lighthouse.
The tropical bracelet is very pleasant to wear.
It's a fun and entertaining watch, everything is done very seriously, the quality is amazing and the comfort is unmatched.
For adventurers nostalgic for A2 recreation!

Funny tool watch 

I just realized that I haven't introduced you to my C2!
I had the pleasure of picking up this watch at the showroom and chatting with the creators.
A very beautiful 2-level dial, sunburst for the minute track and with a gray seabed map with a touch of blue.
The case exudes quality, Akrone working a lot with the army.
The logo is a hexagon with an ermine (and yes Brittany!) inside, all forming the A of Akrone.
Waterproof to 300 m, it is ready for adventure.
The case back represents a kraken in homage to Jules Verne and the city of Nantes.
A fun little detail, there is a return of the Kraken's legs on the dial in the seabed map.
A very pretty knurling of the signed crown which allows a good grip.
The two-tone bezel indicating hours and minutes allows a clever "GMT function" for travelers.
I really like its polished skeleton hands and applied indexes.
There, I think I've covered this beauty.


The adventurer

I can't get enough of this dial! Minimalist and full of details, the faceted indexes and the sunny blue dial have a great time in the light. The minute track is cut into the dial. A small set ruby is at six o'clock to indicate that the movement is automatic (miyota 9039).
A very good quality/price ratio for this first model a little more high-end timex, a pretty "skeleton" case quite original, the bracelet has not been forgotten with a "snap button" instead of the loop, a small laboratory of ideas this watch!

The Timex 

Nice design for this krono-sprinter, the latest Lima watch candy, a minimalist design that plays with colors, this black sub-counter as a nod to the car racing of the 70s (see the box).
Cream dial with just a 12 at midnight ;) or the off-center inscriptions accentuate the asymmetry, which is the most beautiful effect. Bi-compax mention, because yes it is a real bi-compax (two complications) 24 hours and chrono timer for the sub-counters.
The "square circle" tachymeter bezel adds to the vintage side of the watch.
The screwed crown takes the original shape of that of the Meca revolt.
Very nice engraving of the Lima logo on the case back.
All this, on a very pretty super comfortable bonklip bracelet.
For the price of a moonswatch, we have a pretty meca quartz!
I validate!


Ready to race!

Ah the good old days of old toys, here is the Lima Meca 2, a minimalist watch with an original cream dial, old school as you want with the raised central disc indicating the minutes, the hands, the blue typography...

The concept immediately caught my eye, it is wound with a hexagonal butterfly key like a toy from yesteryear, which is quite funny.

The case is a block of finely brushed steel cut from the mass reinforcing the refined side.

The whole is very homogeneous and balanced, it is driven by a seiko nh35 visible on the back, behind a time travel gun (which the watch offers us) another fun detail.

Finally a watch that doesn't take itself seriously!
I love it!

Fun and entertaining

Very happy with this small field watch small second, very readable with a beautiful lum. Brushed case and polished and brushed bezel on the top. Dirty dozen Modern with a timeless look. We feel that it is robust, its small diameter is very pleasant (37mm). The 100 m water resistance allows you to take it everywhere on an adventure. Personally I love it! Bravo Vario!

A great little waterproof Field watch

Same case as the retro dial, here is this new version in automatic version, the index/hand combo is magnificent, with nice details, the indexes reflect the slightest source of light and make it very readable, despite the absence of lum. Its all-steel look is resolutely vintage! A real pleasure to wear!

Brew metric automatic

Look at this beauty, this dial, these colors! It is a fascinating model that combines a distinctive retro style with the reliability of a meca-quartz movement. The size of the 36mm case is just perfect. The bracelet is great. It is a watch that I have not tried before ordering it because it is not available in France but I am happy to have bought it. First American brand that enters my collection.
