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!!!

(Updated December 2023)

Fan of the Oris brand for several years. This brand has proven to me over time its robustness and reliability.

Very readable in all circumstances, I chose it with a black background, the details are done with taste, enough not to get tired of it over the years.
The simple little touch of red on the second hand makes the dial stand out better. A real tool watch

One of the best tool watches

The watch of my 18th birthday! It's the watch I'll never forget, it's so simple but for a long time it's the only watch I've worn and I've almost never gotten tired of it. It's simple by its dial, black, Arabic numerals, its hands... But I've never gotten tired of it thanks to its little details, the bezel, a little red on the second hand, the work on the crown, the sapphire back... Over time I first broke the first strap then changed it for another one from the brand that I don't like anymore and today this nato suits her perfectly but I think she deserves much better (I already have a little idea coming soon). In short, it's the watch that has the most sentimental value and a brand that I love.

Simple but different

Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques.

Created in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.
Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing a new vision of time, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.
