Recently recovered, this Direnzo Mondial DRZ04 automatic watch is an original alternative to Tissot PRX and other Citizen Tsuyosa watches.
Obviously we find the currently popular features: integrated bracelet, screw-down crown, automatic caliber and colored dial.

This version sports a turquoise blue dial that surfs on the hype of so-called Tiffany Blue watches.

Among the many emerging micro brands, Direnzo is making its place in a competitive segment and I understand why the watches are selling quickly. On the wrist the watch sits great thanks to its low thickness and its flexible articulated bracelet.

The price can be a deterrent because the Direnzo Mondial costs more than other models, but that's the price of originality.

The chic sports watch with many details

The Casio Oceanus OCW-S6000 watch is among the top of the range offered by Casio. Little known in France, this watch seduces with its features (bluetooth, multiband6, tough solar, ...) while benefiting from specifications that are only found in the big names: finesse, polishing, mass distribution, precision, materials.

In addition to being exclusive, its very "KAWAI" look does not leave you indifferent. Its low thickness (8mm) and its weight (lightened thanks to titanium) are surprising.. Top of the range of the top of the range from Casio, this unpretentious watch has little to envy the Swiss competition.

Perfect mix of technology, elegance and watchmaking

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Casio </strong>brand, founded in <strong>1946</strong> by Tadao Kashio in Tokyo, Japan, was a key player in the development and popularization of electronic watches. Although the company began producing calculators, it quickly identified the potential of electronic watches, launching its first model, the Casiotron, in 1974.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Casio brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Casiotron - relaunched in 2024 in an ultra-limited series, was revolutionary for its time, featuring an automatic calendar that recognized months at 31, 30 and 28 days. This was the beginning of Casio's long history of innovation in watches. One of Casio's most notable contributions to watchmaking is the series <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/casio/g-shock">G-Shock</a>, launched in 1983. The G-Shock was designed to withstand shock and vibration, and it quickly became a benchmark for ruggedness and functionality.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Casio is <strong>one of the 3 flagship brands in the Japanese watch industry</strong> with<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko"> Seiko</a> And<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/citizen"> Citizen</a>.</p>

I am more than delighted with this watch. In titanium it is light and easy to forget. The radio-controlled solar quartz module allows you to take it in the morning without having to worry about the setting. Moreover, for a radio-controlled watch, the dial is not overloaded with many useless functions. Its electronic crown allows you to select another time zone in one second. Which ultimately makes it a perfect GMT! And what about the finish. Zaratsu polishing and blued indexes, it exudes quality, much more than on Swiss standard quarter-digit watches.

When Japanese technology is at its peak

I got this Casio Oceanus JDM (Japan Domestic Market) in Japan in 2023 after discovering it on the internet, so it is not widely available in Europe. I find it has a modern and casual look and it has a very surprising quality-price ratio. The proportions are modern and not at all excessive, the transitions between polished and brushed surfaces are numerous on both the case and the bracelet. They are also found on the indexes which seem to float above the dial. Finally, we find this blue in the dial, deep and flamboyant as soon as the sun comes out. There are also blue reflections all around the glass which are quite astonishing and difficult to capture in a photo.
The movement is powered by solar energy and the watch sets the time by connecting to a satellite network or by connecting to the phone's Bluetooth.
Personally, I find it to be the ultimate chic sports watch. Perfect for going out in town, or to take to the office. This is actually my first choice on Monday morning if I don't have time to set an automatic watch.

Modern and well finished

<p>Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, <strong>Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie</strong> en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques.

<p dir="ltr">(Updated November 2024)</p>

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>series Casio Oceanus</strong> embodies a special class of sophistication, fusing advanced technological innovations with clean, elegant design. The Oceanus range stands out from other collections&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/casio">Casio</a> and in particular the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/casio/g-shock">G-Shock</a> because it focuses on an analog and not a digital display of information.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Casio's Oceanus series is a perfect example of the brand's ability to fuse cutting-edge technology with classic elegance. This line is named in honor of Oceanus, the Greek god of the sea, and the watches embody this fusion of strength and beauty.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main features of the Casio Oceanus?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Housing:</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Oceanus' titanium case, often with a special anti-scratch coating, gives the watch a look that is both robust and refined. The quality of titanium provides corrosion resistance while being light on the wrist. The brand's engineers are strongly involved in perfectly distributing the masses between the case and the bracelet in order to offer exceptional comfort. Most S5000 or S6000 models weigh little more than 80 grams.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Waterproofing:</h3>
<p dir="ltr">With water resistance of up to 100 meters (10 ATM), Oceanus watches can accompany the wearer in various aquatic activities, while maintaining their elegance. The water resistance limited to 100 meters is perhaps the only questionable feature for a model referring to the ocean.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Bracelet :</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The titanium bracelet, matching the case, continues the theme of sophistication while providing optimal comfort. Its sturdy construction ensures long-term durability.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Movement :</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Oceanus uses solar movement, powered by light. Some models also include Multi-Band 6 technology, allowing automatic time synchronization with signals from multiple regions around the world. This synchronization allows exceptional precision, constantly updated from the different atomic clocks accessible by radio frequency.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Complications :</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Oceanus series is known for its advanced complications, including a perpetual calendar, power reserve indicator, chronograph and world time display. These features add functional value to the watch while maintaining its own aesthetic.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Casio Oceanus: A work of art of Japanese electronic watchmaking</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Casio Oceanus series represents a feat of design and technology. It offers watch lovers an option that combines beauty and functionality without compromise. For those looking for a watch that transcends norms, the Oceanus stands out as an attractive option. The fusion of elegance and innovation makes this series an exceptional choice for those who want a watch that speaks to both style and substance. Casio's Oceanus collection is positioned at the high end of Japanese electronic watchmaking with prices around $ 1800 to which import costs must be added. Indeed, the Oceanus range is mainly marketed in Japan and is difficult to access in Europe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For more information on the Oceanus series and other Casio collections, the brand's website is a valuable source. The <strong>Dialicious owners' reviews</strong> and in particular on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/casio/oceanus/en/review/64ba7ab9fdaf39766d9639c9">Casio Ocean Manta S6000 review</a> by MoonWatch&nbsp;offers useful insights to choose the Oceanus model that best suits you in this sophisticated line.</p>
