The typical example of a watch that shatters prejudices about watchmaking! A legendary manufacturer, a terrible 70s look, a blue sunray dial with the most beautiful effect and a very pretty brushed finish all that for “only” 300€, less expensive than a watch made in China bearing the logo of a major ready-to-wear brand. This PRX is a great option for anyone who wants to take their first steps in watchmaking or who, like me, simply wants to add a pretty little piece to an already well-stocked collection. I chose quartz on this watch to stick as closely as possible to the original version (seastar quartz). Watchmaking is not just a question of money and this PRX is the perfect example :)

A very successful and original design, very marked nuances at the level of the superb sunburst dial and the ceramic bezel depending on the light (we go from a bright green in the sun to almost black in low light), a finish that is difficult to match at this price, extraordinary comfort on steel as on rubber, remarkable precision (+4s/day) for a SW200 base, a presence on the wrist that is astonishing without being massive... this diver has everything going for it and will make a wonderful Daily or travel partner.

The spirit of the Navitimer in a dress watch!
Having long been amazed by the Breitling universe and more particularly the Navitimer, I have long been frustrated by the very imposing diameters that the brand offers. This 3-hand Navitimer was an obvious choice for me when its release was announced.
The “simplicity” of its dial, the superb finishes, the return of the beaded bezel and the finesse of the case make this watch the perfect in-between for those looking for Breitling’s DNA and an elegant timepiece.

Not just an "affordable" GMT Master but a piece that has its own character.

A watch for adventurers on which you will want to alternate between fabric, leather, rubber straps... Everything that you can "forbid yourself" on a Rolex, you do it without an ounce of hesitation on this Tudor. Enough to rediscover your watch with each change of strap. The finishes are excellent for this price, the aluminum bezel is magnificent and offers a real alternative if, like me, you are not a fan of Rolex ceramic (a bit too flashy for my taste).

The case seems a little thick at first glance but you quickly get over it and this thickness reinforces the adventurer aspect. You have the impression of wearing an extremely robust watch that can follow you on all your adventures and that is the case! In short, a very beautiful watch that I wear with great pleasure and that has nothing to envy the others.

A watch seen and reviewed... or not! The Datejust is a great classic of the brand with the crown, a timeless piece. Open your eyes in the street and you will see loads of them. Too many perhaps? It is quite possible however, it is only a reflection of the efficiency of this model. Almost sporty, almost dress watch... so excellent nowhere? In reality it is quite the opposite! The Oyster bracelet and the smooth bezel bring THE sporty touch to this very elegant diameter (36mm). This timepiece goes just as well with a suit as with the very (too?) fashionable t-shirt-jeans-sneakers and this, without entering into the "disruptive" concepts dear to the Marketing departments of our beloved manufacturers. (cf: the communication around the submariner in the 70s where the latter is worn under the sleeve of a tuxedo). At the office? It is discreet. At the beach? No worries, it does very well underwater (10 bar). And otherwise, shall we talk about this date roulette? Even days in black, odd days in red... Rolex fun at its peak! Joking aside, this little twist is superbly effective and radically changes your perception of the watch from one day to the next. A classic DJ on the 2nd of the month and the next day you almost feel like you're wearing a Turn-O-Graph (ref: 116264). This is a trifle, a detail that some people will find of little interest but which means that, 12 years later, I am still as in love with my watch. I am not a Rolex fan, far from it. I like other manufacturers much more, most of them less renowned, less prestigious, more accessible, ... I have other pretty watches, with more "character" and yet, if I had to wear only one until the end of my days, it would without hesitation be this Datejust 36 date roulette which does everything wonderfully well.

A recognizable case and different from what we usually see on divers. A very beautiful watch well finished, a very well integrated bracelet and a crown protector with visible screws very nice. On this Sellita version I would have preferred a solid back but I forgive it!

Oris strikes hard!

This watch is a bit special. In addition to being my first mechanical watch, the dial of the Aquis date upcycle is made of recycled plastic, which makes this watch almost unique and very personal. That's what made me fall in love when I saw it in a small built-in display case all to itself. Despite everything, I went to several stores and saw six models but no other dial was up to par. When I look at it, I see a painting and I never get tired of it. The "taupe" bezel adds this little dressy touch that balances the blue of the dial. The only small downside is that I had to bring the watch back a few days after purchasing it because it was moving forward by about 25 seconds per day. Too bad Oris didn't take the time to better regulate their calibers from the start... Anyway, now it works very well and I wear it almost every day! I recommend it!

a favorite

I have been to New York regularly. This multifaceted city is a place that suits me well where you can find quiet areas and the most lively places on the planet. The port of this city is a concentrate of these different atmospheres and one of my favorite places. Concerning the watch, it has many qualities apart from the links I have with New York. First of all its iridescent dial that changes color with each ray of sunshine. The indexes, the crown, the hands, the whole is remarkable and robust. The two bracelets suit it wonderfully well. In short, I bought this watch following a change of company also very linked to New York, for me it ticks all the boxes. If I had to find a fault with it, it might be its rubber bracelet which I find surprisingly less comfortable than steel.

A committed and efficient watch

My first diver. I was looking for a professional diver, present but not too imposing, with a strong identity but from a recognized brand.
I found it at Oris, an independent brand conveying beautiful values.
Its dark blue sunray dial plays with the reflections of light. The 41.5 MM diameter ensures a beautiful presence on the wrist, but the short horns sit very well on my chicken wrist.
The Sellita SW200 caliber is a safe bet, a model of precision and reliability.
With its 300 meters of water resistance, it has the attributes of a professional, robust diving watch, which you can wear in many circumstances, whether in its natural element or at the office, because it also knows how to be smart.
