The new Serica model worn almost non-stop for 3 months! The finesse is just super comfortable on the wrist: very pleasant. Now let's talk about the point that annoys (really). The Bonklip bracelet is a disaster. It is certainly comfortable but it has a colossal flaw: it does not hold (at all). I found myself several times with the bracelet open (and this clasp closed, a shame) and luckily I took it adjusted because otherwise I no longer had a watch... Hence the photos with the much safer rubber bracelet. The "cosc" precision of the watch is good, about 1 adjustment per month is enough for my time maniac side. The lume is good but not exceptional. The one on my orca is much better. But hey, it lasts one night, it's not so bad.

la fine watch

At AVI-8 ("aviate", or piloting a plane) it is a rather sober watch! The aviation hands and the dial are a bit in the idea of Bell and Ross and are reminiscent of an altimeter: nice! But the real reason for the purchase (besides the very limited RBL series and the low price) is not on the dial but below the watch: the oscillating weight in the shape of an airplane and more precisely an English spitfire, completely unique. The caliber is a myota with small seconds and date, its precision is rather good. I changed the bracelet because I am not particularly a fan of steel bracelets, I put a more discreet racing bracelet. This watch is no longer available in this version, I also like the gunmetal.

Spitfire 300 Royal British Legion

Neo vintage watch before its time, chocolate color, sunburst dial (at least I think so) and nice solid and qualitative bracelet. This model is an AM3 Electric and it doesn't even appear in the list of models!! Does that mean it's that rare :)? Otherwise the reading is good and the hands very seventies.

It's an AM3!

The brand March LA.B was created in 2011 following the meeting of Alain Marhic, based in Biarritz, and J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Mage, based in Los Angeles. The brand was born thanks to Joseph Chatel, a long-time friend and Business Angel of the project. We find in this brand an omnipresent green signature on small details such as the stitching as well as the return of the bracelets; on automatic models, the transparent case back; on the date window, the number 3.
The name of this premium watch brand is the union of MARCH and LA.B. MARCH or Mars in French is a symbolic month for the founders (among others the month of birth of Alain Marhic). LA.B, the fusion of the historical heritage of Biarritz and the modernity of Los Angeles. In this architectural sense, they are very different, but they come together on one point: lifestyle, because they are linked to the ocean and the rhythm of surfing.
It is this DNA that has been transmitted to these shaped watches inspired by the 70s, combining classicism and modernity. The brand offers French watches with raw elegance whose simplicity provides the refinement of today's urban dandy. The range includes watches like <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/march_la.b/am1">March LA.B AM1</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/march_la.b/am2"> March LA.B AM2</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/march_la.b/am3"> March LA.B AM3</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/march_la.b/seventy"> March LA.B Seventy</a> or <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/march_la.b/sixty">March LA.B Sixty</a>.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a March LA.B watch cost?</h2>
The prices of March LA.B watches sold on the brand's website change and differ depending on the model. Most are sold between &euro; 800 and &euro; 1,200 depending on the models and finishes. As an example, count &euro; 595 for a March LA.B AM69 quartz and &euro; 1,895 for a March LA.B Belza Automatic Forest. The brand also offers promotions a few times a year. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at to buy a cheaper March LA.B.
March LA.B is independent and produces more than 10,000 watches per year, all models combined. To choose a March LA.B that best suits you, Dialicious owners&rsquo; reviews are a valuable resource for evaluating each of the different models through real customer experience.
