Great opportunity to add a Navygraph to my collection, this limited series of 200 pieces for the launch of this model equipped with the new Yema CMM 20 manufacture caliber.

This version is characterized by its minimalist and chic style without losing its diver's DNA (300m water resistance)

Simple but neat finishes, deep black dial (difficult to show off in a photo), applied indexes, and sapphire black bezel. The details that I like: Yellow second hand and "Navygraph" screen printing that energize the dial, chamfers that extend to the crown protector, sapphire crystal caseback revealing this new micro rotor caliber.

The 39mm and 9mm thick case is perfect for my wrist...

Small downside on the leather strap a little stiff and not very pleasant to wear (to my taste). It will probably soften over time.



Yema Navygraph CMM20

Field watch of the brand, this model is the image of the quality offered by Serica…

The finishes are superb, alternating brushed polish on the horns and the case. The California dial is top with its alternation of Roman numerals, Arabic, and indexes at 12 3 6 and 9:00.

Its Bonklip bracelet is light and of good quality.

Associated with its COSC movement, this watch is an ideal daily both chic and sporty.


Serica 6190 California

Fan of the PRX 80 and nostalgic for the cartoons of my youth, it is impossible to miss this PRX special series Grendizer aka Goldorak for French speakers.

We will not go back over the technical characteristics of this model, the details in reference to the series are numerous… Dial, second hand, engravings on the case back, flange, and the oscillating weight.

All these elements associated with the "spazer" case and the illustrated box make this series a collector's set for the big kids that we are 🙂


Tissot PRX Goldorak

A breath of fresh air this 5303 diver!!!

An innovative design, here in its blue version… The blue-black of the abyssal depths.

The finishes are top notch, original double graduation bezel, brushed case with large polished and plunging chamfers on the horns, fine mesh bracelet with brushed end pieces that ensure comfort when worn and beautiful integration, large crown as practical as it is aesthetic.

In short, full of details, this watch with an innovative design exudes quality and modernity, while retaining its diver's toolwatch DNA.

To wear in any circumstance, sporty, chic, sporty-chic, and that's it 😀



Serica 5303 PREVENTION

We no longer present this model that has become iconic of the brand and remains in my opinion one of the best value for money of all Swiss brands combined.

3rd in my collection after the green dial and the special series "Goldo" 🙂, this new Carbon version is the best!!!

Case and dial in black and gray marbled forged carbon, black rubber strap, sapphire case back and black PVD steel.

This model is incredibly simple, discreet, pleasant to wear with its 75gr on the scale, but remains very technical at the same time.

A little more expensive than its little sisters, the investment is nevertheless worthwhile to appreciate on the wrist a PRX 80 that goes everywhere, modern, and ultra light…

Tissot PRX 80 Carbone

Passionate about divers, this C-02 seduced me with its hyper originality marked by its unique bezel, its circular brushed dial (the brand logo is great and the colorful C-02 inscription gives a touch of pep), and by its beautiful France Ebauches movement (visible on mine because I chose the "openworked background" configuration)

This "heritage" series remains however very technical with its brushed case which inspires the robustness expected on a tool watch.

I find that the whole gives this 100% French watch a feeling of reliability, originality and dynamism, while remaining sober and discreet.

This Marégraphe is in my opinion the coolest of the series.



Akrone C-02 Heritage Maréographe

Love at first sight when I saw this little Spirit in 39 mm, and I really loved this steel & gold version that I finally bought.

This GMT pilot is super original and remains very understated despite the presence of gold on the bezel, crown, hands, indexes, and the beautiful hooping at the base of the flange.

Initially on a steel bracelet with excellent finishes, I like to wear it on this black nato that only lets the attributes and finishes of the watch stand out. The balance between the gold, steel, anthracite dial, and chocolate bezel is incredible.

This beauty is powered by the COSC-certified L844.4 4-hand GMT movement.

This watch will definitely stay in my collection 👌



Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39 or

Small C1000, well-known diver from the Ollech & Wajs brand, here in a limited series of 100 pieces for the 70th anniversary of the FAGN "Forces Aeriennes de la Gendarmerie Nationale"

Blue hands, gendarmerie logo, special bezel, and case back engraved for the occasion.

Mounted on blue nato and driven by a Newton caliber, this version retains the 1000m specs and exudes the quality of the original C1000.

A very cool piece 👌

Ollech limited series

A must-have in a collection, the Navitimer needs no introduction.

This version is part of a limited series of 2000 copies for the launch of the first Navi equipped with the Breitling 01 caliber (transparent back, white gold logo, etc.)

Note the Air Racer bracelet called "Gainsbourg" in reference to the singer 👌

Breitling Navitimer B01

Much commented on the networks, this reissue of the Amphibian 250 is extremely endearing.

Despite the NH38 caliber being highly criticized for a watch priced at 1200E, I do not regret this purchase on Kickstarter at all…

Top-notch case finishes, very good quality tropical strap, dial and bezel respect the codes of this legendary diver.

Only good, except indeed the caliber that feels low-end when handling the crown…


ESKA Amphibian 250

This version 35705000 driven by the Omega 1861 caliber is the second watch in my collection acquired in 2011 just after my sub.

After all these years, still the same intense pleasure to wind it up to wake it up.

Nothing more to say about this icon presented so many times.

A must have that will remain in my collection for life.



Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

This version of the PRX80 in 40 mm with a green dial is versatile. Very easy to wear, it goes perfectly with every situation…. Sport, chic, leisure, work.

When I hesitate over my choice of the day, it is this one that very often wins the bet.

What I like, its integrated bracelet, its 70's type case, and its green dial that plays very well with the light.

In short, an excellent quality-price ratio to treat yourself and add color to your collection.



Tissot PRX 80 Automatic

We are not going to re-present this BB58 model…

My Navy Blue is my daily watch par excellence, associated with its sister Pelagos 39.

Perfect combination of versatility, alternation, simplicity, reliability, and efficiency.

This watch is perfect, almost too perfect… But so endearing.

What I prefer, the depth of its blue…

This Tudor, the most coherent piece in my collection.



Ma daily watch

The history of the Squale brand associated with this limited series of 50 pieces, make this 1521 Montredo X Squale a super endearing diver.

This version brings to the 1521 a more urban and sober touch, while retaining the toolwatch DNA of the original.

Very nice success !!!

To wear in relaxed weekend mode 👌 



Montredo X Squale

My SUB 14060M, what can I say… An icon often copied but that nothing replaces. The diver that we want to see enthroned in our collection.

This “no date” reference combines simplicity and sobriety with its aluminum bezel, to my taste, more discreet than the references that will succeed it.

If there were to be only one left, it would be this one of course…

Rolex Submariner 14060M

My Santos 100, a piece of aviation history associated with the height of French chic, this Cartier is essential, and extreme in this XL version ref 2656.

Despite its bodybuilder case and bracelet, it sits wonderfully on my wrist, and imposes itself with finesse despite its almost 200 grams.

Its dial is simple and effective, Roman numerals obligatory…

I wear it in all circumstances, suit or floral shirt 😀


CARTIER SANTOS DUMONT  100 XL

First edition of the Superman Heritage 63 in a limited series of 1000 copies released in 2020, this model is equipped with the famous tortoiseshell bracelet also limited to 500 copies out of 1000.

Apart from this famous unique tortoiseshell bracelet, a real gem of the brand (except the rather cheap clasp), this watch is a direct tribute to the 1963 diver and takes up its codes, which gives it a very vintage side with the most beautiful effect. Black lacquered dial, applied and circled indexes, domed sapphire, green lumi, date window also circled, in short a multitude of details that make this model (39 mm) unique with very neat finishes. The photos speak for themselves. A must-have in your collection of divers...



Almost perfect

Focus on a Roro…. The Datejust 41 blue dial. What can I say???? Wearing a Rolex is always an indescribable experience that must be lived to appreciate the high level of finishing of the brand. This Datejust is just perfect in terms of comfort and aesthetics. The dial goes through all the shades of blue depending on the lighting, which also highlights the multitude of aesthetic details that make up the elements of this model. In short, a simple, effective and chic watch that I wear regularly like all those in my collection…

Datejust 41 blue

This ORIS Propilot is perfect if you are looking for the codes of a basic "aero DNA" toolwatch.

I really like EVERYTHING about this watch:

Grey PVD steel case, black case back open to the caliber, high quality fabric strap, black PVD folding clasp using the codes of seat belts, simple and ultra-readable matte black dial with white luminova numerals and a very discreet date at 3:00, domed glass, full black second hand with red tip, probably as a reminder of the caliber, ultra-practical screwed big crown for handling the beast, chiseled crown and case back, all in 41mm that wears like a 39.

I can't find any competitors for it today...

One of the 3 UFOs (I will present the other 2 later 😀) in my collection of divers

You will have understood, I love it and it keeps its place in my daily watches.



ORIS BIG CROWN PROPILOT

The Speedmaster is an essential diver to keep in your collection. Like its sister the Speedmaster, the Seamaster is indeed an Omega "master".

Powerful, ultra modern and timeless, the case, bezel and bracelet shine brightly.

In the blue version, the dial (color and waves) truly lives according to the light and the direction of the gaze... the date appears at 6:00 in white on a blue background and blends in very discreetly without unbalancing the whole. A nod to the hands and the super bi-color lumi-nova.... See photo.

In short, a beautiful piece that I enjoy wearing regularly on the weekend, but which remains very present on the wrist with its 42mm and almost 200 gr.



Essential Omega

A basic to have in your collection. The ideal diver of the moment with its 39 mm, it ticks all the boxes and replaces my 14065M (which I keep of course...). This new Pelagos, in tandem with my BB58 Navy Blue, is the winning daily combo. I love its ceramic bezel with matte and shiny reflections depending on the lighting, and which brings a touch of modernity associated with the square indexes and its hands symbolizing the brand. I consume without moderation!!!

DAILY

<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>

The Speedmaster needs no introduction. I wear this watch every day and for all events. Casual or strict, its style always looks good. Its 42 mm size is a good size for a small man's wrist. Obviously, the sapphire crystal prevents scratches and the opening at the back allows you to enjoy the Caliber 1863.
I highly recommend it because beyond being a timeless piece, this watch is not associated with "show off" and can be worn in any weather...
Enjoy!

In all weathers!

—> This watch has been a thoughtful purchase for a few years.
—> It is a safe bet as to the choice because it is timeless in its design (the golden ratio is hidden in it?;-))
—> It is a safe bet because it is a high quality product with the guarantee that it is followed and whose parts are still very easy to find. It can therefore be worn daily without fear of breaking and no longer finding parts.
—> It is also a legendary watch,
known by enthusiasts. It is very discreet, can be worn easily in all situations and with its 42mm diameter it remains very pleasant to wear.
—> I am very happy and I never tire of my Legendary Moonwatch Professional 1861 which are the latest 1861 references,
having a new but somewhat outdated watch:
—> 5 atm water resistance, manual winding, hesalite crystal and old design movement… It gives an extraordinary old-fashioned charm! When you wind the crown and you hear a clicking sound, it's great :-) 
—>As someone who loves old watches, I'm delighted with this new purchase! 


Universe Watch

After having thought carefully about acquiring a speedmaster in my collection, I decided to buy it new (2023) and in sapphire in order to admire the movement. 
I think that for all collectors, a speedmaster is essential. Concerning all Omega models, I bought it for its history, its chronograph, its refinement. 

Recently, I changed its bracelet for an Ostrich bracelet (gold) and I rediscover it. There is no denying that the leather bracelets suit it perfectly and allow you to change your style. 


Speedmaster 3861

Everything has already been said about the speedmaster. So I would talk about the feeling when the first time you wear one on your wrist, and especially the first time it is ours and we start our story with it. The search for the right strap (the best is Joseph Bonnies' NASA), checking our car speedometer on the highway and the fact of perpetuating the story by spreading it around you. I started with something new wanting to try to keep this watch until the end of my life and for it to be part of my story.

One small step, one giant leap in the heart

When I first went to my now regular AD, it was to see this speed (and then several others later...).
It caught my eye, and I only hesitated for 24 hours to come back and buy it...
Its dial, announced as 42mm, is not that big of a 42, due to its asymmetry, in fact, for those who, like me, have a child's wrist, this watch is more like a 39.
Its reputation is well established, it doesn't have much left to prove, but I especially appreciated its bracelet, its simple dial and its perfect lines.
For my part, I opted for the sapphire crystal, the case back allows us to see the caliber 3861 nestled inside.
For any good collector, it is a must!

The Collector's Watch

This speedmaster is a dream come true 7 years ago. This chronograph is elegant and sporty at the same time. My omega is equipped with a hesalite glass and the manual mechanical caliber omega 1861. The power reserve is 46 to 48 hours and an accuracy of +3 seconds per day. My pleasure lies in winding the watch. I love to contemplate the dial, the design of the case and the dome of the hesalite glass. The history of the speedmaster and its selection by NASA shows how robust this watch is. It will be passed on to my son.

STRATOSPHERIC!

Long before I really got interested in watchmaking and bought my Omega Speedmaster, I owned a Guess (yes, yes) for a long time, with a design very inspired by the prestigious astronaut watch. During a birthday, I was asked if the watch I was wearing was an Omega Speedmaster, the name didn't mean much to me at the time but I then became interested and discovered this iconic model as well as its history. This Omega Speedmaster (old reference, replaced in 2021) is my first luxury watch and because of the little anecdote told above, it occupies a very special place in my collection and my watchmaking journey.

Omega Speedmaster Professional - le graal !

The one? Yes, if there were only one, it would be the Speedmaster. An incredible story, a magnificent watch. Being passionate about space, space travel, it is a holy grail for me to have this watch in my collection. I chose a model from 1992, my year of birth, hoping that it will follow me for a very long time...

The one

I wanted a watch to mark my engagement, a beautiful ring for the lady and therefore a watch for the gentleman. I was eyeing a Seamaster AT that was very rational in my eyes. I dared to ask to try a Speedmaster "to see" and quite simply a big smile, an emotion of pride, of naivety to be part of the heritage of this watch when putting it on my wrist. 10 months later it is mine and I can put it on my wrist every day!

What I like about this watch is the routine that goes with it:
- take it out of its box every morning just before leaving for work
- wind it up
- contemplate it during the work commute
- take it off and feel the warmth of the steel after a day on the wrist
- put it back on its cushion and its box to see it again the next day

It is a watch that you can feel on your wrist, its weight is perfect, the 42 diameter is contained. The bracelet is very comfortable and has a beautiful effect.

On the other hand, it is a watch that I feel is technical and fragile and that I consider as a jewel. It is a perfect pair for weekends and holidays with a diving watch to be without constraints.

Speedmaster 

This is my daily watch, the one I like to wear. However, it is not the latest acquisition in my collection. It is a 2020 model, double sapphire, steel bracelet. Since then I have bought NATO and an alligator from Omega. It is a timeless watch, connoisseurs notice it. I am even thinking of buying the new model and I hope one from my birth year. This watch goes with all outfits.

Omega Speedmaster Professional

<p>La marque <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs</strong> a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en <strong>1956</strong> par Joseph Ollech et Albert Wajs &agrave; Zurich en Suisse. Albert &eacute;tait charg&eacute; de la conception, de l&rsquo;ing&eacute;nierie et de la fabrication des montres, tandis que Joseph s&rsquo;occupait du marketing et de la vente au d&eacute;tail. Avant de cr&eacute;er leur propre montres sous la marque Ollech &amp; Wajs, ils ont commenc&eacute; leur activit&eacute; en 1954 en fabriquant des bracelets en acier pour d&rsquo;autres marques.</p>
