I had the opportunity to acquire this MB Héritage Chronométrie Dual Time, during a private sale.
It ticked a lot of boxes on what I was looking for at the time: a GMT complication in a dress watch which was a change from the sporty GMT. Not being a very big traveler, this watch has a particularity: the 2 hour hands are the same except for the blue color of the second time zone.
Thus superimposed, it is invisible and it passes for a "small hand".
Beautiful finish of the indexes and the dial, 24h indicator. The bracelet is of good quality made in Italy. Only problem: 2 after-sales service shipments in 6 months under warranty. Since then, no problem, it is very precise. It is a very beautiful watch to wear on many occasions where it produces its little effect. The date being complicated to set, I advise having a winder. It is also a bit big for my 17.5cm (41mm) wrist. In 39 it would be perfect.

MB Héritage Chronométrie Dual Time: a mysterious GMT

TAG Heuer, a brand that has been associated with motor racing for several decades. I found this beautiful professional full set a few weeks ago. Capricious to get it going again, the quartz movement finally started up again after a session with the demagnetizer. Cosmetically very beautiful for a watch that is over 25 years old, its size of 37mm is ideal for my 17.5 wrist. Its light gray dial makes it very versatile. Its Mercedes hand gives it a little Explorer 2 look. The strap is well made but the buckle is a little hard to open. Remember that it is a diver with the extension for the suit. It is a pre-"Aquatimer" in a way. It is really a beautiful little watch, quite cheap for a Tag. Enough to think you are a grand prix driver.

Start your engines!

March LA B, a fairly confidential watch brand at the time I bought this watch directly on rue Charlot, their first boutique. At the time, it was not primarily attractive for its design and the very 70s universe (retro objects, body-built Mustang Shelby, sofas that Henri Verneuil's films would not disown). In short, a whole shopping experience, as they say in good maketeux. After this moment with Mr Marhic himself, what's left? A few negative points of reliability quickly resolved, but above all a beautiful emotion when I put it on my wrist. Attention to detail: the shape of the case, the green date in "march" on a black disc (discreet), screw-down crown (not on the new AM2s) well worked. Clearly, we pay for the visual rendering. Ronda quartz caliber. At least I had Swiss before its time. Of course, "made in France" on a two-tone black dial. A brand that I have been following for almost 10 years. Certainly a bit expensive in recent years compared to the calibers on board but with the G100 we are entering a new era. If you are looking for a strong and distinctive design, these watches are made for you.

The March of Time

Bulova, a brand known mainly for its tuning fork acutron models (the brand's acronym) and the Lunar Pilote, the other moon watch. I bought this great Seville at auction during the covid. The watch was really in excellent cosmetic condition and delivered in its green case very close to the rolex. For me it is a tribute before its time. It dates from 1979 and its 36mm are perfect for my wrist. Originality, the days are in Italian. The caliber is an ETA 2834-2, the same as that mounted in the Tudor Prince of the time. The bracelet is of the jubilee type, with no adjustment other than removing links. Not very practical but quite aesthetic. On the $ side we are at less than €500 including fees, which is very correct for a beautiful vintage day & date.

Day & Date American Sauce

I found this little LIP TV at a flea market. The watch looked bland but I saw straight away that it was running. Bought at the time for barely more than a pack of cigarettes, I cleaned the watch which actually had a nice gold plating that was not very worn. The mechanics were also relatively clean with a Durowe caliber. I don't wear it often but with a nice lizard strap it has a good vintage style. A good dress watch.

A well-hidden LIP

This Sinn U1 is the first "value" watch that I bought about ten years ago. I already had a chic sports watch but I wanted something more radical. I was seduced by the specs: 1000m waterproof (lol especially in the pool!), U-boat steel, original syringe hands. Its only enemy: the coating of modern offices which will easily scratch your beautiful micro-beaded bracelet. Prefer the tegiment. It has become my No. 1 watch for the beach. It is also the largest I own (44mm, at the time the U50 did not exist). It is an ETA model and not Sellita like today. It is not very well known but I have the impression that among collectors it has a good love rating. Quite comfortable, it nevertheless weighs its weight if you leave it with its all-steel bracelet.

My holiday watch

Having already bought the Prx 40 quartz, I gave the 35 mm model to my wife before the summer holidays. I love its design. It is a bit too small for me, mine in 40 mm being a little bit big. I am being picky but in 38 mm it would be perfect. Otherwise the same qualities and defects as the 40 mm. Well finished, beautiful bracelet not easy to adjust because there is no fine adjustment of the butterfly buckle. My wife loves its sky blue dial. The new automatic tapestry version is also very beautiful. It is quite versatile and can be used for swimming (10 atm), but for her it is a fairly urban watch in its style.

Little sister

Super versatile summer watch. Very neo vintage design, quite similar to a Tudor black bay 36mm. A dial with a super bright luminova in the dark. Ideal size for me (38mm), screwed crown and back (30ATM). The super surprise for people who don't like the movement of quartz hands is the Seiko VH31 sweep second movement which gives the illusion of an old mechanical watch. Well finished case, serious bracelet even if not super original (oyster type). The little Antarctic engraving on the back of the case, very nice. All that for €330. With a beautiful perlon or leather depending on the mood, the watch really works well in many circumstances

The Concordia, a watch that gives a lot for its price

I let myself be tempted by this diver bought on a well-known Chinese site. We are clearly in a "manly" style with this screwed case protection which protects the bezel. The beautiful blue dial which changes depending on the brightness is very successful. On the motorization side we find a classic NH35 automatic which makes coffee. The steel bracelet is quite qualitative except for the pressed metal buckle but at the price sold of the watch you should not be too fussy, especially since the finishes are rather good. The watch is delivered in a small black plastic box simple but solid. The tool to adjust the bracelet is delivered with it. It is a good watch for water sports (30atm) without taking the head.

Under the influence of its blue dial

I bought this beautiful Glashütte Spezimatic cal 75 on the internet a few years ago. Good surprise, the watch worked very well and the cosmetic condition of it was really very good considering its age (+40 years). I didn't think that the productions of the GDR could be of this quality. It is a watch with a rather atypical design that I wear from time to time. It reminds me of my childhood, from the time when we saw the East and the West clash in spy films. After all these years it still works just as well and apart from having oiled the winder I haven't done anything to it. If you find a "bison" model in good condition, jump at the chance because you don't see many of them.

Glashütte: an automatic behind the Iron Curtain.

Having already bought a small Zenith for my wife (see my review on Dialicious) I told myself that I had to continue on the principle of "Duet Watches" as with our respective PRX. I came across the Bay on this small Defy in 34mm (in reality it is larger) at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately it did not work very well. After a quick visit to a passionate watchmaker who will recognize himself, the beauty has regained its luster and precision. Its bracelet reminds me of the Santos and is now living happily with its alter ego. These watches from the 70s definitely have a crazy charm with their integrated bracelet. Only regret: it is an ETA 2872 movement and not an in-house Zenith. However, the ticking at 4hz reminds us that we are already on a fast caliber. Note that the same model existed in quartz movement.

The Other Ego

Small chronograph bought on the net a few years ago, I was seduced by its vintage dial and its original telemetric scale compared to all the tachymetric scales found on most chronographs. Rose gold Arabic numerals, a signed buckle strap and a vintage typography. From a distance, the illusion works. You can easily change the strap on a standard 20mm. A good little watch not too wide (40mm) even if 38 would suit it better for the classic side. All that for a good hundred euros on sale. Enough to treat yourself without breaking the bank.

New vintage chronograph

This Yéma is limited to 3333 copies and was designed in collaboration with Kavinsky, known for its taste for the 80s. The watch itself is pretty cool with its rather marked design and its very techno 70's red LED display. It's a nice collector's item bought at a reasonable price (around €200) and which is comfortable to wear. I regret that the display only lasts a few seconds when you press the button, annoying especially if you want to see the seconds go by. Not practical for driving either. In terms of precision, there is something to complain about, mine must advance by around 20/30s per day. A shame for quartz technology!! As I am used to mechanical watches, it doesn't bother me too much but I have to readjust it if I take it after 3 weeks. Otherwise, no problem with the finish, the case is really nice with the alternation of polished and brushed. Enough to think you're Kavinsky (minus the Testarossa!)

Yema Kavinsky

Tissot Seastar1971 Cal manual 781-1. One of my first watches; bought on the bay a few years ago, it was a nice surprise for me. The watch was cosmetically very clean, the dial not pitted. Seastar obliges, screwed back and pierced horns like in the good old days, very practical for changing the straps. The watch works very well and the silver sunray dial, very classic, goes well in all circumstances. Of course I forget swimming! A good little classic that echoes my PRX: watches that give a lot without breaking the bank.

A classic seastar at a low price

Bulova,
A brand first known for its Tuning Fork watches has unfortunately not continued in this direction. A few years ago the brand released models equipped with an ultra-fast quartz movement with a frequency of 262khz including the famous Astronaut. Result: a second hand that slides on the dial like on a GS springdrive. The comparison stops there! The rest is relatively average in terms of finish but at a fairly low period price (- 150€ on VP) we still have a screw-down caseback and crown. In terms of reliability, the date no longer works but the rest works. High frequency requires it to be quite battery-hungry. The watch remains interesting, particularly for its ultra-smooth movement.

THE RETURN OF HIGH FREQUENCY

The Tsuyosa, a watch already spotted when it came out but it was the ice blue version that made up my mind. Ordered from an AD (Parrenin Joaillier) in St Germain. The beauty arrived at the end of July, just in time to go on holiday with it. It is a very pleasant watch to wear and to look at thanks to its superb sunburst dial. Compared to my Tissot PRX it seems subjectively smaller to me because of its more rounded shape. The only real flaw concerns the water resistance limited to 5 ATM. So you have to have another watch for swimming.

Citizen T

Bought at auction, I didn't know its whole story but I liked its dial and I found the original micro rotor. I then discovered that I had one of the first models of the cal 215. Then Genta had designed it. A bit of legend at a low price for the time. I wear it regularly and its particular little noise reminds me that I don't have a watch like the others. Attention to bracelet enthusiasts, it is not the standard size (19mm)

A watch full of surprises

Vintage Oris bought on the bay, a few years ago, it is a rather elegant watch with its cream dial and gold indexes. Waterproof, screwed back, pierced horns, antimagnetic, we are in the watch that wants to be versatile for the time. Powered by a caliber 461 kif Oris the watch has period performances but the essential is elsewhere. Very light to wear and of contained size (34mm), it is suitable for both Monsieur and Madame. A beautiful find from the 50s that I wear from time to time.

Oris vintage 50'

A watch that is a bit small to be called a diver (10atm), but which has a nice little effect with its "admiralcup" style pennants. Delivered with a steel and rubber bracelet, I bought it a few years ago on the Bay for a hundred euros. At this price, you still have a very sturdy Miyota 8215 visible through the transparent back (it has been getting a bit ahead recently but nothing serious). Particularity of the movement: a blow to the watch and it stops and starts again a few seconds later, without flinching. I often wear it in the summer to walk along the beach. It is a watch without a story with an original dial and a lolipop hand without luminova so really not a diver, according to Fank sans C! The only negative point, the glass is not great in terms of anti-reflective, but at this price on a new one in stock...

Pen Duick Nautic Flag Automatic

I bought this speedmaster triple date a bit by chance during a sale at the municipal credit. A hesitation in the room and hop the beauty is mine. A bit capricious all the same, I had to have it serviced a year after the purchase. Very comfortable to wear, I like its dial with these 2 windows and its pointer date. A rather chic speedmaster but with questionable readability (with a black dial it's better I think). It's better to have a winder if you don't want to spend your time adjusting it. In the end it's a change from a speed pro and it remains quite original.

A speedmaster on a misunderstanding

As soon as I saw them in photos I knew I was going to fall for them. During a weekend in Amiens I tried the 2 models: quartz and powermatic 80. The sunray blue dial excited me more than that of the automatic and although I prefer mechanical watches I found it more in keeping with the spirit of the 80s Seastar to take it in an electric version. No regrets, this watch has become one of the ones I wear the most. Sporty chic, waterproof to 10 atm, comfortable; the dial is really superb and playing with the light is a real pleasure. Very good value for money (at the time €350). I love it so much that I bought its 35 mm twin for my wife...but that's another story

The watch of summer 2021!

I bought this speed at auction during covid. So I hadn't seen the watch (which is quite rare) but the expert I contacted gave me a good description. The caliber 1040 works very well and although described as pro, it is automatic unlike the moonwatch. Cosmetically it is in its own juice with a well-scratched mineral glass but a very beautiful dial with eggshell indexes. It is a rather virile watch that has a particularity, that of being modular: the bracelet + caseband on one side and the case block - back - glass which fits into it. Be careful with the gasket which wears out! Apart from that, the real pleasure of the Chrono is the minute hand (reminiscent of an F104 Starfighter) placed with the second hand (unlike in a 7750 where it is in a sub-dial). There is also a 24h day/night indicator. I do not regret at all this purchase of a legendary watch still affordable compared to the original. For how long?

A very 70's speedmaster

Marchlab customer for a few years, I wanted to offer one to my wife for the holidays. I came across this pretty Sixty pink dial. The finish is always very neat despite a production that does not bear the "made in France" price tag. The perlon bracelet is very qualitative, soft with a beautiful signed buckle. Screwed back, waterproof 10 ATM, enough to swim without a second thought. Small downside on reliability: the Miyota movement was changed under warranty 6 months after purchase. A youth defect ... My wife loves its pink dial and its comfort reinforced by its crown at 4 o'clock. The watch is versatile thanks to the interchangeable bracelet.

March L.AB Sixty

I bought this little Zenith online on a misunderstanding. Sold new from stock, it was, Zenith label on the bracelet, and protection still in place on the bottom of the case. Only problem I had not realized that I had bought a "women's" size watch (my fault!) When I realized my mistake I told myself that it was not lost to everyone. My wife enjoyed it until a necessary revision (the first of her life probably). After 40 years this is understandable. It has now left with its beautiful ETA Hi beat caliber (4hz is not bad!) A beautiful little original watch worn quite rarely by my wife but which is worth the detour. I found it a small period case as a complement and I fitted a blue UG bracelet in place of the original black Zenith.

On a misunderstanding!

This IWC R1210 is the first watch I bought for myself at auction. It is the dresswatch par excellence: thin, 33mm even if it seems larger, beautifully made alligator strap (I haven't changed it because it is so beautiful). Yellow gold case, an immaculate dial (I even wonder if it hasn't been redone because it is so clean). The caliber is a mechanical 401 that works very well. For the moment I haven't needed to service it. I wear it very little because it is still a fairly old watch and not suitable for everyday life. The model also exists in steel if some people don't like yellow gold. At the time I found it for over €1000 at the hammer, but I don't really know its value.

IWC R1210, but Calatrava to me!

A small Seiko found on the Bay for €50, a beautiful burgundy lizard strap "made in the market next door" and a "Tank" style folding clasp, it doesn't take much to think you're Rudoph Valentino. A watch by a Nabob from the Belle Époque. In terms of aesthetics, the case is really "slim" and the plating is beautifully made. You don't feel it, it's so light. The quartz does its job and for those who don't like the movement of the quartz second hand, no problem: there isn't one. You shouldn't deprive yourself of this kind of watch!

Seiko Slim Quartz, a Tank at a low price!

<p dir="ltr">Founded in <strong>1848</strong>, <strong>Omega</strong> is one of the oldest and most respected brand in the industry. The story of Omega is punctuated by innovations, technological achievements and a constant quest for precision. Steeped in exploration and adventure and closely associated with the conquest of the Moon, the brand has left an indelible mark on global watchmaking.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Omega brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, a young man named Louis Brandt opened a watch assembly workshop. Using parts from various local artisans, he builds and sells his watches throughout Europe. These first watches simply bore his name, but it was the beginning of what would become a global brand. After his death in 1879, his sons took over the business and introduced revolutionary manufacturing techniques. In 1894, <strong>a new caliber for pocket watches was introduced, named "Omega"</strong>, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in watchmaking. It was so successful that the company would later adopt the name as a brand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The conquest of precision (1900-1940)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 20th century saw Omega rise as a dominant force in the field of watchmaking precision. In 1931, Omega watches won all the prizes during chronometry tests at the Geneva Observatory. This quest for precision led the brand to be chosen as <strong>official timekeeper of the Olympic Games from 1932</strong>, a title it still holds today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Innovations et exploits (1940-1970)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">During and after World War II, Omega supplied watches to the British armed forces, cementing its reputation for reliability and durability. It was also at this time that the Seamaster was launched, a waterproof watch designed to withstand the most difficult conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These thirty glorious years saw the launch of the Omega Seamaster in 1948 and the Omega Constellation in 1952. But it was the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957, which stood out the most. In 1965, <strong>it was officially chosen by NASA to accompany astronauts on space missions</strong>, and in 1969, it became the first watch worn on the moon, earning the nickname "Moonwatch".</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The dark years (1970-2000)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Faced with the rise of Japanese quartz watches, Omega is fighting to maintain its position. The brand launches <strong>its own quartz watch, the "Marine Chronometer"</strong>, which is recognized as one of the most precise quartz watches ever produced. Omega, like the entire Swiss watch industry, is very impacted by this new competition from Japan and must significantly reduce its workforce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 90s saw a resurgence of interest in luxury mechanical watches, and Omega, with its classic models and innovations, such as the co-axial movement, remained at the forefront.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The new millennium (2000 to the present)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 21st century sees Omega go from strength to strength with famous collaborations and ambassadors, such as James Bond and actor Daniel Craig. Innovative technologies, such as movements resistant to magnetic fields and the use of materials such as ceramic, demonstrate the brand's desire to combine tradition and modernity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Omega brand?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster">Omega Speedmaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Speedmaster collection is one of the most iconic and recognized watch ranges in the world. Launched in 1957, the Speedmaster was initially designed to meet the needs of motorsport professionals, with its distinctive tachometer for measuring speed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is best known for its role in space exploration. In 1965, after rigorous testing, NASA selected the Speedmaster as its official watch for all manned missions. It was worn during the first lunar landing in 1969 by astronaut Buzz Aldrin and has since been nicknamed "<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster_moonwatch">Moonwatch</a>".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from its space pedigree, the Speedmaster is also appreciated for its timeless design and robust mechanics. Over the years, Omega has introduced many variations of the Speedmaster such as the Omega Speedmaster Mark II, Mark III or Omega Speedmaster 38. It is often considered a must-have watch for collectors and watch enthusiasts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster">Omega Seamaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Seamaster collection, introduced in 1948, is one of the oldest and most popular luxury watches. Originally designed as a dive watch, it combines robust functionality with elegant design. <strong>Water resistance and durability have been key features</strong> of the Seamaster from its inception. Over time, this collection has evolved, encompassing a diverse range of models from professional diving watches to sophisticated pieces suitable for formal occasions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A notable turning point for the Seamaster was its association with James Bond. Since 1995, with the film "GoldenEye", James Bond has worn a Seamaster in almost all of his films, cementing his status as a cultural icon.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The different variants, such as<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_300m"> Seamaster Diver 300M</a>, the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean or the PLOPROF show the adaptability of the collection to various needs and aesthetic preferences. Each watch is a reflection of Omega's watchmaking expertise and commitment to quality and innovation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_planet_ocean_600m_co-axial_master_chronometer">Omega Planet Ocean</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, first introduced in 2005, is a modern homage to Omega's rich maritime heritage. These watches are true diving instruments, offering water resistance of up to 60 ATM. They often feature ceramic bezels, dials with luminescent indexes, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_aqua_terra">Omega Aqua Terra</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Aqua Terra is another illustrious member of the Seamaster family, launched in the early 2000s. With its aesthetic inspired by the wooden decks of luxury yachts, the Aqua Terra is a perfect mix between a dive watch and a dress watch. It is water resistant to 150 meters and is equally suited to a day at the office or a trip to the sea. The Aqua Terra has also been a showcase for some of Omega's most recent innovations, including co-axial movement and improved resistance to magnetic fields, making these watches some of the most reliable and precise timepieces available.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These two models, like the previous ones, reflect Omega's ongoing commitment to combining technical innovation with timeless design. They embody all the diversity of the Seamaster collection.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/constellation">Omega Constellation</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Constellation collection, introduced in 1952, is the <strong>symbol of excellence in watchmaking and design</strong>. Known for its timeless elegance, the Constellation is a demonstration of Omega's expertise in precision and craftsmanship. Distinctive for its unique claws on the case, which were originally intended to ensure the water resistance of the watch, it has become one of the characteristic features of the Constellation design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over time, Omega has continued to innovate within this collection, introducing new movements, designs and materials, while maintaining the distinctive character and elegance of the Constellation. The range has branched out to include models for men and women, offering a variety of sizes, dials and straps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/de_ville">Omega De Ville</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Omega De Ville collection is a reflection of refinement and urban elegance</strong> within Omega's extensive portfolio. Introduced in the 1960s, the De Ville was created as a more dressy and contemporary line, distinguishing itself from the brand's sports and diving watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, the De Ville has been synonymous with sophistication and technical innovation. While preserving a classic design, it has often been the testing ground for Omega's new watchmaking technologies, such as reducing the complexity of movement components or the introduction of Co-Axial movements.&nbsp;With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, the De Ville collection is perfect for a professional setting or formal occasions. It includes several sub-collections, including the famous Hour Vision, Ladymatic and Tresor, each bringing its own touch of distinction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sophistication and simplicity. Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, the De Ville is elegant while being technically impressive. Co-Axial movements and varied designs, ranging from simple models to complications like the tourbillon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/geneve">Omega Geneva</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the 1950s and into the 1970s, the name &ldquo;Geneva&rdquo; was associated with the Omega watch line intended <strong>to honor the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, Geneva</strong>. This range was meant to reflect the high quality standards for which the city was known. The Geneva model was finally integrated into the DeVille collection. Featuring a sober and elegant design, the Omega Gen&egrave;ve was appreciated for its versatility, being both a dress watch and suitable for everyday use and positioned at that time as an entry-level Omega.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/dynamic">Omega Dynamic</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">First launched in 1967, the Omega Dynamic is a distinctive model with a very '70s design. Initially designed as a watch for the younger generation, it had an elliptical case shape and colorful dials, reflecting the bold aesthetic of the era. Later, in the 1990s, the Dynamic was relaunched with a very different design inspired by pilot watches, under the name Omega Dynamic III.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Seamaster Omegamatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Combining the precision of quartz with the autonomy of an automatic watch, the Omegamatic, launched in the 1990s, is a hybrid auto-quartz watch. It uses a rotor, similar to that of automatic watches, to charge a battery which powers a quartz movement, thus providing exceptional precision while retaining certain mechanical elements.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Polaris</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Introduced in the 1980s, the Omega Polaris collection is remarkable for its unique design combining stainless steel and gold, often in a surprising so-called "two-tone" construction. These watches were equipped with quartz movements and equipped with complications, such as alarms or chronographs Their geometric aesthetic and multi-layered design made them immediately recognizable and accessible at low prices on the vintage market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each of these models brings a unique touch to the rich history of the Omega house, demonstrating its ability to innovate and adapt to changing watchmaking trends while remaining true to its roots of quality and precision.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does an Omega watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for Omega watches change every year, but <strong>most Omega models cost between $3,500 and $40,000</strong>. An Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer costs $3,500 while an Omega Speedmaster in yellow gold Sedna costs $45,800. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at buying an Omega potentially cheaper than new.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Omega: Eclectic models for all tastes&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The story of Omega is one of a relentless quest for precision, innovation and excellence. From its humble beginnings in a small Swiss workshop to its presence on the moon, in the depths of the ocean and on the Olympic slopes, <strong>Omega has demonstrated its watchmaking mastery time</strong> and again. As a pioneer, innovator and explorer, Omega continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury watchmaking. Omega stands out for its fusion of styles, performance and history. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean, timing Olympic athletes, or accompanying astronauts into space, Omega has proven its excellence time and time again.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated December 2023)</p>

I have had this magnificent Omega Speedmaster Reduced date for some time. It is true, it is not the most famous model of the speedmaster ... but that is what attracted me to this watch! The fact of not seeing it often on people's wrists makes this watch interesting because some people do not know it exists. So what a pleasure to see their surprise when discovering that it is a speedmaster! 
I like a lot of things about this watch: 
- its black dial which I find is super well detailed 
- its 39mm diameter which goes very well with my chicken wrist ahah 
- its versatility because it is very easy to wear with many outfits, dressed up or even casual. And above all it goes very well with steel / leather / nato. Which gives a real choice on the bracelet! 

Today I am selling it to finance another project, reluctantly I will not lie to you ... but it is time to move on. I haven't chosen the next one yet, but what is certain is that this Omega will remain in my top 3 watches that I have had 😊

My Omega Speedmaster Reduced Date, an underrated watch!

The Omega Speedmaster Reverse Panda Japan Edition is not the Moonwatch that everyone wears or would like to wear... That's exactly why I like it a lot, and it also has the charm of a reverse panda dial. It is a contained size of 38mm, with small details that give it a certain charm: octagonal crown, very light gray sub-dials. It is a Speedmaster produced for the Japanese market in the 90s, and that's where I found it. A superb piece in my eyes, and much less common than the Moonwatch.

Omega Speedmaster 3511.50 Reverse Panda Japan Edition

This Omega Speedmaster Automatic also called Reduced is perfect. 
For small wrists, its 39 mm case size is perfect and for the airheads and those not initiated in manual winding its automatic caliber ETA 2890-A2 is perfect. It remains very light and offers a good power reserve. This chronograph continues to see its rating rise.

<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. Les aiguilles rondes, signature de la Maison, sont le reflet d&rsquo;une singularit&eacute; et d&rsquo;une simplicit&eacute; sophistiqu&eacute;e. Chaque mod&egrave;le arbore un design d&eacute;licieusement contemporain, o&ugrave; chaque d&eacute;tail, chaque surface, interagissent avec la lumi&egrave;re.</p>
<p>Cassant les codes de l'horlogerie traditionnelle en apportant une vision nouvelle du temps, les montres Beaubleu sortent des sentiers battus en arborant des aiguilles rondes et &eacute;vid&eacute;es, inspir&eacute;es des travaux de Galil&eacute;e dans sa compr&eacute;hension du syst&egrave;me solaire. Ces aiguilles affichent de mani&egrave;re po&eacute;tique les heures, qui ne pointent pas un index ni une graduation, mais qui indiquent une position, un instant depuis le centre du cadran.</p>
