Edox - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

A domed sapphire crystal that gives a dizzying depth to a dial subtly degraded from anthracite in the center to black on the edges. The 42mm brushed steel case with an "aged" look invites you to adventure. COSC certified, the reliability of its movement makes this timepiece a companion for every day.

I immediately fell for the blue dial associated with this beautiful bronze case, the Ocaresque promo finished conquering me and not a summer goes by without this North Sea 1967 coming to challenge the waves of Porges and the 32 ATM are sometimes not superfluous given the strength of the Gironde swell. One of my first in my young collection, a resistant diver with a bronze case that matures with oxidation causing a variation in the colors of the case in total adequacy with the variations of the dial which goes from oceanic blue to deep night blue depending on the light The only downside is an aesthetic choice not allowing a good reading of the bezel sublimely compensated by the harmony of the sound of it during rotation

The Edox Azur Diamatic: stands out for its rarity due to a probable collab with Azur, but also for a feature that adds a unique and playful touch to this vintage model: the day of the week in the shape of a smile. This particularity gives the watch a distinctive character that deserves to be highlighted. A Day-Date With a Smile: The dial of the Edox Azur Diamatic features a "day-date" complication with a remarkable feature, the day of the week is displayed in the form of a smiley face. This original design that resembles a "smiley", brings a touch of originality to the dial of the watch, while fulfilling a practical function. Rather than opting for a traditional display, Edox chose to inject a dose of personality that made it a determining element in its acquisition. A Unified Aesthetic: The smile-shaped day blends harmoniously with the silver sunray dial, creating a pleasant visual combination. This touch of conviviality is accentuated by the 6 o’clock position, ensuring optimal readability while remaining discreet. The full date display at the same position adds to the functionality without compromising the elegant aesthetic of the dial. A Singular Detail in a Classic Case: This distinctive detail is particularly notable in the context of a 35 mm steel case that is 10 mm thick. The watch maintains a classic and elegant silhouette, but the “smiley” day display makes it a conversational and memorable piece. This contrast between the sophistication of the design and the playfulness of the day of the week makes this watch a true object of desire for collectors looking for originality and character. A Remembrance of the Past with a Touch of Modernity: The inclusion of a “smiley” day-date is also a reminder of the watchmaking experiments of years past, when manufacturers explored innovative designs to stand out. This unique detail may also suggest that the watch could be a prototype or a special series, adding even more mystery and value to its history. My Edox Azur Diamatic 2000 with its smile-shaped day display is a telling example of how a small detail can transform a practical feature into a memorable and fun item. This rare model, with its silver sunburst dial and impeccable steel case, is a collector’s item that combines elegance, functionality and a hint of visual joy.
