The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Namica is a fairly exclusive Japanese watchmaker with limited productions that go very, very quickly. Bought in "early bird" kickstarter and received after more than 9 months of waiting. But what a watch! Original, precise (at the level of the serica 6190), thin, light (in titanium) and well finished. This Kanji version is even rarer. The brand is serious and communicates well on its current productions.

The futuristic purple watch

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!
