This watch is disturbing at first, regulator type watches are rare and reading the time requires a little adaptation. 
It is equipped with a lightly decorated miyota movement and the rotor is skeletonized and blued as are the hands. 
The dial is well worked on 2 levels. The level of the bottom is grained. At the level above, we find a screwed plate with the name of the model as well as the sub-dials for the seconds and hours over 24 hours. The timer is displayed on the flange. 
The case is an alternation of polished and satin. The crown at 2:10 contributes to the originality of the watch.

Disruptive and well thought out

I have been looking for a chronograph equipped with the famous Seagull ST1901 for a long time. Depancel has made a very beautiful piece with this manual Allure Chronograph. The dial has multiple facets, a black circle with pulsometric + tachymetric scale, a second circle with circular brushing that includes the minute / hour indicators, an inner circle with vertical brushing and two deeper sub-dials with circular brushing. The choice of colors is in my opinion very good. 
The case mixes polished and brushed, the octagonal crown is original, and the sapphire crystal back allows you to observe this famous movement. The perforated leather strap completes the vintage racing spirit well. 
The watch is adjusted by a watchmaker in Depancel's premises and it arrives with a small card indicating the adjustment of its precision. 
It also looks very good on Nato.

A beautiful vintage-style chronograph

As a mechanical movement enthusiast, this dress watch caught my eye. The shiny black guilloche dial is elegant. The opening allowing you to see the balance wheel adds a touch of originality. The hands are simple and at the same time refined. The most impressive thing is the 80-hour power reserve, which is really practical when you rotate several watches.

A striking dress watch

A perfect Swiss English watch for summer. The Azure blue sunray dial has beautiful reflections in the sun. The orange details on the dial as well as on the GMT hand add a touch of dynamism.
The manufacturing quality is there on the case with an alternation of polished and brushed.
The wooden box in which the watch is delivered is also very well made.
The Sellita movement is well decorated and is very precise.
The Bader bracelet with its micro-adjustment is great to adjust.

A quality GMT

The watch is very nice to wear, the case size (38.5) has something to do with it. The open dial lets you see the mechanism but remains very readable thanks to the contrast between the silver Roman numerals and the sunburst blue. The lume on the hands also provides an interesting contrast for readability.
The skeletonized oscillating weight has very high mobility.

Beyond the watch, it is the experience of assembling your own watch that makes it a unique piece for your collection. When purchasing, access to video tutorials is provided to guide you through the assembly. A few hours are needed to finalize the watch and you learn a lot in this assembly.
