Typically the watch I had always heard about without ever considering it. Rather interested in divers and 3 hands, I had never been tempted by chronos. And then a meeting with an enthusiast and a visit to a watchmaker to try one did the rest. Some research on a 311, or a really vintage 145 before, but without finding anything exceptional in terms of condition. Finally, a video by Xavier on Dialicious to react to the launch of the new 310 co-axial made up my mind. Once on my wrist, the charm worked. Timeless and captivating vintage comfort and elegance. I like everything about this watch, the proportions are divine, the readability is maximum. This matte powder black dial which contrasts with these white indexes and hands, this Omega logo painted on this Hesalite version. The lyre horns, the “dot over ninety”, the step dial… Supreme and old-fashioned luxury, the manual winding… Conquered!

Moonwatch co-axial Hesalite

A watch that caught my eye in the early 2000s. This full titanium aquatimer 2000 is the descendant of the first super compressor aquatimer from the 1960s. The water resistance has since increased from 200m to 2000m, which is very reassuring when washing your hands... the 42mm case and 14mm thick remain very comfortable thanks to its superb integrated bracelet. I like its great readability and the contrast of the yellow on this matte black dial, magnified by a beautiful slightly domed sapphire crystal, without deformations. The balance is perfect in every way. A very special watch, retro futuristic, masculine but without being aggressive or superlative. An undeniably youngtimer. The lightness and softness of titanium in addition. Found with box and papers in mint condition. I'm a fan.

IWC Aquatimer IW353803

Discreet luxury. A distinctive and singular design like that of the Ellipse, launched in 1968 with the reference 3548. Designed according to the formula of the golden ratio, or divine proportion, a geometric concept found in nature or architecture. Symbol of beauty and harmony. The reference presented here is the 3738 called jumbo (35mm) introduced in 1977 in the Patek catalog. This is the first generation with automatic winding introducing the legendary caliber 240 with micro-rotor which allows the elliptical case to retain all its finesse. Tempted at first by the classic yellow gold model, the encounter with this extremely rare white gold Ellipse made me take the plunge. The white gold makes it more modern and more discreet. A marvel of elegance, sobriety and refinement. Special mention to its sunburst blue gold dial, Patek secret, which opens a door to the sky and also to the elliptical buckle of the bracelet. A watch with a unique shape. A jewel.

Divine Ellipse 

Another desire for a second time zone but which does not look like a GMT Master. I appreciate the hyper readability and warmth of this dial, with this very light and subtle patina of the ceramic indexes. The snowflake yellow GMT hand tipped the balance. Color is life! A watch with a very nice presence on the wrist even if it is a little plump, it must be admitted. 1mm or 2mm less thickness would have been welcome. But it's okay... The sunray brushed finish of the 24-hour bezel is remarkable. A diameter of 39mm, nicely chamfered horns, a nicely sized crown and a Manufacture MT5652 COSC caliber complete the whole thing. Another nice move from Tudor with a well-positioned price. Something you can't find in its big sister anymore.

Tudor Black Bay Pro

By chance, while passing through a boutique, charmed by the fitting of an Overseas Silver dial, I like sports watches. A telephone number left at random, it commits to nothing… and then a phone call seven months later! The 3-hand date matte black dial had arrived. Ouch. I cracked. My entry into the Holy Trinity. A legendary name, the oldest watch manufacturer in the world, a sublime movement, the hallmark of Geneva… totally unreasonable. No more rationality here. The Maltese cross is everywhere, in the design of the bezel and also the steel bracelet. A luxurious sports watch with enveloping comfort, which knows how to be forgotten, discreet and less ostentatious and identifiable than its famous sisters, unobtainable and almost inaccessible… magnificent with its rubber bracelet. The only regret is that there is no stop second. While the brand offers it on the classic Patrimony. Who knows…

Overseas steel 41mm

A desire for a very classic, fine watch, but with a slight sporty side. With Cartier's renewed vigor on the watch market in recent years, I took the plunge. Cocorico! Even if Swiss made. It goes with everything, under the most fitted shirts with its thickness of 8.8mm. Perfect for the office, but also with jeans and a t-shirt. The steel bracelet and the 100m water resistance for the sporty side and no hassle. And the possibility of changing to a leather strap for a more dressy side. Special mention for the quick fastening system and also the adjustment of the bracelet possible with a toothpick or a Bic pen cap! The medium format is ideal, neither too big nor too small. A nice presence on the wrist. I would have appreciated a date window instead of an index at 3 or 6 p.m. A detail that I appreciate, the blue of the hands that appears under certain lighting. For me an iconic watch, well made, timeless. A basic to have in every wardrobe. And then Cartier is still a beautiful story.

Santos medium automatic 

You should never say Fontaine je ne boirai pas de ton eau… I am not a speleologist but rather claustrophobic, rather 40mm than 42 at Rolex and yet… it made me fall in love with its bright white dial and its black-circled indexes, hyper contrasted and hyper readable. And this orange 24-hour hand, I love it, a nod to the 1655 Steve McQueen that he never wore. Freccione for the Italians. As eyesight declines with the forties, it arrives at just the right time. Launched in 2011 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Explorer II, it is powered by the 3187 caliber. With its 31 jewels, its Parachrom hairspring and its Paraflex shock absorbers, it is a modern variation of the 3186 caliber, which was used in the GMT Master II models. A surprisingly fresh watch!

Rolex Explorer II Polar 216570

Looking for a sporty and waterproof watch for holidays and leisure, while remaining sober, I chose this Sinn EZM3, steel bracelet. EZM for Einzatz Zeitmesser, “mission counter”, a separate range from the watchmaker from Frankfurt am Main. 

I had it in mind for several months, having had in the past the Pilot version EZM3F (Flieger), with leather strap. The case design is the same, but I had grown tired of the dial which I found too minimalist. 

This EZM3 is an uncompromising diver, waterproof to 500m certified to European standards for diving equipment by the DNV company and to DIN standards for antimagnetism and pressure resistance. 
I like the microblasted treatment of the steel, the angular case and its contained dimensions with a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of only 12.3mm. A big plus considering the muscular specifications of the piece. It is very comfortable to wear. I love the military dial, its super readable and luminous baton indexes doubled by Arabic numeral sub-indexes. The red date is very discreet and knows how to be forgotten. 
The matte black dial and the double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal are remarkable. The 60-click bezel is impeccable in its design. Its slightly beveled shape gives a very unique look to this EZM3, in addition to the crown at 9 o'clock. A sober, professional watch, with an identity that is unlike any other. 
We are far from the brands or models that are a little too marketing for my taste. 
Not a first price certainly, but in terms of specifications and quality of execution it gives a lot. Not far from being the ideal tool watch in my opinion.

Sinn EZM3 - Professional Mission Counter

Instant love at first sight for the not so common California dial of this young and beautiful French brand, which is reminiscent of distant memories of Rolex Bubble Back… for the rest, muscular specs in a tasteful military case, with ideal and refined proportions. 37.7mm x 11.3mm. Far from the competition often cruder and less singular in terms of design in this price range. Swiss quality at the rendezvous with a special mention for the black enamel dial and the brushed grosgrain of the bezel. I changed the original bonclip bracelet for a pretty black pigskin bracelet which responds well to the depth of the dial, accentuated by the double domed sapphire crystal. The manual winding of the Soprod P24 movement adds an additional charm to the whole. A success.

Silk 4512 California

Looking for a serious diver at a reasonable price, I started to look at the Doxa site and the Sub 300 before coming across the Sub 200 range, the most affordable and the black model, Sharkhunter. 42 mm, not too thick, a compact case, extremely well executed. A deep black dial, hyper readable with its hands and stick indexes. A pretty domed sapphire green which gives it a very pleasant vintage look. Hard to find fault with this watch. Hyper comfortable thanks to its very short lugs and its remarkable rice grain bracelet. All powered by an indestructible and precise ETA 2824-2 movement. Too bad it only allows 19 mm bracelets, the pumps very close to the dial also only allow Doxa bracelets, or custom-made…

Doxa Sub 200 Sharkhunter 

My heart always beats faster when I see a Panerai. When I tried this Radiomir it went completely crazy. I was totally enchanted by the "patina steel" finish which gives an old silver look to the case. Super P5000 caliber with manual winding with 8 days of power reserve thanks to these 2 barrels: Otto giorni brevettato! It actually lasts almost 9 days. Patinated sandwich indexes on a mocha dial. 10 ATM. A double domed glass and blued hour minute second hands complete the set. A beauty in every way. A jewel.

Radiomir PAM00992 Eight Days Patented

The first Panerai worn on the wrist. Love at first sight for this Luminor concentrate with its 42mm diameter. A very good introduction to this brand that I only knew by name. I love its proportions and its beautiful balance. Its complete functions, 300m water resistance, discreet date window, pretty seconds counter at 9 o'clock. Stop seconds appreciable with this P900 movement. I particularly like the magnificent blue of the discreet inscriptions that are also found on the seconds hand. and also the numbers 15, 30, 45 on the markers of the diving bezel. A success on this cushion case.

A concentrate of Panerai PAM00973

My grandfather's legacy. The only thing I have left of him, along with memories. A watch that sat in a drawer for 10 years after his death in 2011, and which I really thought would never restart. The fault was the battery of those damned quartz movements that had leaked... a magician watchmaker sorted it out for me for free, otherwise it would have been back to Omega or more precisely in the drawer... a watch in his image, fine and elegant. He was not materialistic or a watch lover. I remember when I saw him arrive with it on his wrist, in the mid-1990s, he must have been almost 70 years old. A little late pleasure for someone who had known deprivation during the war. I like the finesse and refined sobriety of this Constellation, the great comfort offered by its integrated bracelet and its thickness of 6mm. The full Day Date dials stand out nicely and proportionately against the white enamel dial. This is not exactly my style of watch, as I like rather sporty and automatic watches. It will remain a watch for one man, the one whose images I see again when I look at it or wear it.

Omega Constellation Manhattan Day Date quartz

I had been eyeing for a while a reissue of a German pilot's watch, qualitative but accessible while being legitimate. Historically five companies supplied the Wehrmacht during the 2nd world conflict: IWC, Lange & Sohne, Stowa, Laco and Wempe. I looked for a long time at Stowa which offered a nice model very well made before coming across this rather premium model at Laco, offering the possibility of personalizing it as desired, in addition to a water resistance of 200m, which we don't care about I agree for a Flieger but which I like for questions of comfort. I like on this Laco type A the fact of having been able to choose a dial without brand or logo, but with a discreet date, a matte gray sandblasted finish which gives it an undeniable vintage look. The flame-blued and unpainted hands are superb. The Sellita movement is top-notch. I also particularly like the non-politically correct marking FL23883 (inventory number in the German army: 23 = navigation instrument, 883 = number given by the air technical authority for this instrument) engraved on the edge of the case, the only mark to keep it today. The 40mm diameter is not the historical 55mm, but since I sold my biplane this no longer poses a problem for me. In the end, a niche watch, very typical, with a neat finish.

A historic Flieger

Looking for a used Longines Legend Diver I came across this Alpina Seastrong diver heritage, new used for half the price. Charmed by this balanced Super Compressor model with impeccable finishes. I really like the elegant contrast between this pretty off-white dial and the black sub-dial, with perfect indexing. A beautiful 42mm case, nicely polished and with finely chamfered horns, a contained thickness of 12mm. Beautiful well-proportioned hands that contribute to excellent readability. A beautiful slightly domed sapphire crystal, a water resistance of 300m and screw-down crowns. Trapezoidal date window between 3 and 4 p.m. well integrated. All powered by a well-regulated AL-525 movement on a Sellita 200 base. Faultless.

The other Legend Diver

The one that started it all. My first watch, the one I bought myself at 33 and wore for 10 years without stopping, in all circumstances, without any desire to replace it. The one that would remain if I had to keep only one. The aviator, the Pan Am legend since 1954. The most precise of all. And those blue and red bezel colors that change over the years and that I will never tire of. I have always preferred Pepsi to Coke!

Rolex GMT MASTER II ref 16710 - 

The most legendary diving watch of all terrestrial production. For me, efficiency without superfluity, non-ostentatious luxury, extreme specifications in a contained case, 40mm and 14.5mm thick. No cyclops, a sober date window and a flawless 120-click bezel. The quintessence of the professional sports watch at Rolex. Here a 16600, 3rd generation, full horns, equipped with the star 3135 movement giving it formidable precision. Taking the best from the 1665 from 1971 and the 16660, it blows a little breeze from the Compagnie Maritime d’Expertise!

Legendary diver

The Omega of my youth, the one that was one of the watches that made me fantasize and that I couldn't afford at the time. But that I never forgot. The Planet Ocean reference 2209.50.00, launched in 2005 in its orange livery, 42mm. Orange, this color that marked me and that I love on divers. Generous dimensions but nevertheless contained in this Seamaster Planet Ocean that I prefer to the classic Seamaster model, with a more dated design I find. Lyre faceted horns, a fabulous dial, readable, sporty and elegant at the same time. I particularly like this matte black dial, the applied Omega logo, the super luminova trapezoidal indexes and the orange 12/6/9 numerals. Not to mention the hands and a second hand with exceptional execution and design. A model of balance, impeccable finishes. Nothing is too much on this resolutely professional diver. And this satin steel bracelet that I was going to forget, a remarkable robustness and comfort, very nicely designed. A flawless design with a softer design than the current models, more aggressive and angular.

Planet Ocean Orange 2209.50.00

Appearing in 1975 after the Royal Oak (1972) and before the Nautilus (1976), it owes its profile to the architect Adolfo Natalini. And we must admit a nice stroke of the pencil! This current version in 42mm is in every way a success, at prices that do not exceed understanding... and well representing the state of the art of the time. Magnificent integrated bracelet, thickness of 10.68mm that goes under all shirts, it is the embodiment of sporty elegance. With this little extra for me that is the water resistance to 100 meters with screwed crown that allows a few strokes in the pool. The finishes are remarkable, the silky brushes that alternate with magnificent polishes... The slightly domed sapphire crystal, the Clou de Paris dial, and this harmonious octagonal bezel... without forgetting the remarkable visible GP01800 manufacture movement, magnificently crafted. A detail that I like, the light reflected by the hands, even in the dark. An unequalled polish. A flawless and a singular style.. I like it so much that I also took it in blue!

Graduated 42

Nothing led me to look at a French brand like Yema, which I knew little about and for which I had a negative a priori in terms of positioning and quality. And then by chance during a watchmaking stroll, in search of a little pleasure that was not too expensive, I came across this model. Seduced by this matte blue dial (I don't like sunray dials), its unique U-shaped indexes, its pretty domed sapphire crystal and its contained dimensions, 39mm, 13mm thick. All very nicely and perfectly executed. It has everything in addition to the date. Under the spell of this elegant and deliciously retro watch, which does not fall into the Rolex look alike.

Superman AAE Search and Rescue 300m

Total love at first sight when I stumbled upon it by chance, intrigued by its small format and this dial with indexes never seen elsewhere. Reissue of the first model waterproof to 1000m (100ATM) from 1965, also called Pacman or baby Panerai, because of its cushion shape and small dimensions. Everything is remarkably done, domed sapphire crystal, matte black dial, orange seconds hands, helium valve, 120-click dial without defects. Proof that you can have muscular specifications in a contained case. The precision of the SW 200 movement, well adjusted, is remarkable with +1/2sec per day. A little bomb!

Nivada Pac-Man: Small but mighty!

Seduced by the originality of the classic Grands Fonds 300, I waited for the launch of the GF 38 in 39mm format to take the plunge. I chose the model with baton indexes and roulette date (even numbers in red). A unique watch with its crown at 6 o'clock, fine when worn. The only downside is the precision: +10/11 seconds per day for an elaborate Sellita SW200, but within the standards for the brand I contacted and which offered me an adjustment for €160... for a watch worth just over 3K, a fine workshop adjustment would have been welcome.

ZRC Grands Fonds 38 - GF38263

New arrival in my Panerai collection this Luminor Marina PAM564 Bettarini case of 44mm. Very pleasant and soft to wear, thanks to the titanium, and especially to a very contained thickness 13 mm. Magnificent, sausage dial, dark chocolate. Sapphire case back which leaves the P5000 movement partially visible. Water resistance 300m. I like the brushed titanium finishes which give it an elegant and sober look while emphasizing the tool watch aspect.

Luminor Marina 8 Days Titane

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Panerai</strong> is an Italian watch brand that combines technical ingenuity and daring design. Founded in <strong>1860</strong> in Florence by Giovanni Panerai, it was originally a small watchmaker, but it quickly gained international fame thanks to its collaboration with the Italian Royal Navy. During the Second World War, Panerai supplied diving watches and precision instruments to the Italian Navy. Panerai watches of this era, such as the Radiomir and Luminor, were known for their large size, exceptional readability and robustness.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1993, <strong>Panerai launched its first collections aimed at the public</strong>, including the Radiomir and Luminor models. These watches, inspired by the original military models, quickly gained popularity, particularly among collectors and diving watch enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1997, Panerai was acquired by the Richemont group, which allowed the brand to develop and become known in the international market. Today, Panerai is known for its bold and innovative watches, which remain true to the brand's naval heritage.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Panerai brand?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/radiomir">Panerai Radiomir</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Panerai Radiomir, with its stainless steel case, leather strap, hand-wound mechanical movement and easy-to-read dial, is a true icon. Its water resistance up to 10 ATM makes it a reliable diving watch. There<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/radiomir"> Radiomir</a> is also known for its distinctive design, with Arabic index and stick-shaped indexes coated in luminous material.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/luminor">Panerai Luminor</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Panerai Luminor, another flagship model, perhaps the best known, is distinguished by its robust case, its leather strap, its mechanical movement and its patented crown protector, iconic of the brand, which ensures exceptional water resistance up to 30 ATM away. The dial, easy to read with its Arabic numerals and luminous stick indexes, is one of the most recognizable design elements of the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/luminor"> Luminor</a>. The model is available in numerous versions, with power reserve, GMT or chronograph function. Many personalities have worn Panerai Lumirnor, such as Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Dwayne &ldquo;The Rock&rdquo; Johnson, thus contributing to the reputation of the brand and its powerful character.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/luminor_marina">Panerai Luminor Marina</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Luminor Marina is another flagship model from Panerai that has won the hearts of watch enthusiasts around the world. This watch features a sturdy stainless steel or titanium case, water resistant up to 30 ATM, making it a great choice for diving and other water activities. The automatic mechanical movement ensures exceptional precision and reliability, while the strap, available in leather or rubber, adds a touch of comfort and style.</p>

It features the brand's signature luminous indexes and Arabic numerals, ensuring excellent readability even in low light conditions. One of the unique features of the Luminor Marina, compared to the Luminor, is the small seconds at 9 o'clock, adding a touch of sophistication to this model.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/panerai/submersible">Panerai Submersible</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Panerai also launched the Submersible, a dive watch with a stainless steel case, rubber strap, automatic movement and a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring diving time.

This model has almost become inseparable from the South African-Swiss adventurer Mike Horn who is one of the brand's most important ambassadors.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Panerai Mare Nostrum</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Mare Nostrum is an emblematic Panerai watch which offers a chronograph with a more sober design than the Lunimor in particular. It was originally designed in 1943 as a deck watch for Italian naval officers, although only a few prototypes were produced at that time. The contemporary Mare Nostrum is a faithful reinterpretation of this classic design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The case of the Mare Nostrum is made of stainless steel and is waterproof up to 5 ATM. It has a leather strap for optimal comfort and a vintage look. The hand-wound mechanical movement ensures exceptional precision and reliability. The dial, with stick indexes and luminous hands, is easy to read. A chronograph function adds practical utility to this classic design.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Panerai Luminor Due</h3>

With its stainless steel or rose gold case, water resistance of up to 30 meters and leather strap, the Luminor Due offers casual elegance. Its automatic movement offers remarkable precision, while the minimalist dial with luminous indexes and hands is easy to read. Panerai thus gives itself the means to attract a clientele different from these historical models intended for adventurers.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Panerai: The Brand of Paneristi!</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Whether it's the Mare Nostrum, with its vintage look and chronograph operation, or the Luminor Due, with its sleek and elegant design, Panerai offers a diversity of models to satisfy the tastes of every watch lover.

I bought myself this PAM00111 second-hand in 2018 and since then it's been love at first sight. I love its sandwich dial, its cushion case and the crown protector. A watch on which I change the strap like I change my t-shirt as it gives it a completely different look depending on whether it's on a canvas or a nato for a more sporty look or on leather for a more elegant look.

A classic but also elegant diver

I chose this watch more than a decade ago. Being a woman I didn't like the watches that were branded for women and I was looking for a bigger model and most importantly, a watch that wasn't on every woman's wrist. I love the timeless design, the size, the character of this piece, that suits me as a wearer. The alligator wristband will soon be changed for a new one,  alligator it will be once again, to add the classic touch for an everyday wear. I regularly look at other options to add a new piece  to my collection,  but till now I haven't found anything that makes my heart beat like my Panerai

The watch I will never be tired to wear

The latest arrival in my collection, this Panerai seduced me with its contained diameter of 40mm and its water resistance to 300m. This model is no longer produced and has been replaced by the Quaranta with the same diameter with a thinner case but with a lower water resistance of 100m. It also has the particularity of having a cyclops for the date. Its massive style and its very luminescent indexes make this watch immediately recognizable with its famous crown protector and its rubber very pleasant to wear. It should be noted however that this watch is relatively heavy even if you get used to it quickly.

Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00048

This Luminor Marina is the watch of my 40th birthday. I chose it in this version, PAM 177, in Titanium version, with transparent case back. I particularly like the Titanium finish, matte, more discreet than the versions in shiny steel. It is imposing (44mm in diameter and 15mm in height) and will be less suitable for watch lovers with small wrists. The design of the Luminor Marina is recognizable among thousands, with its protective crown for the winder, its Arabic numerals (3 - 6 - 12 visible), its small seconds and its hands and indicators painted in Luminor. I have been wearing it very regularly for almost 10 years, more on weekends or on vacation (with its magnificent rubber strap stamped Officine Panerai), because with a suit or a shirt, it is a little thick. This model is mechanically wound, with a power reserve of 56 hours, in reality closer to 48 hours. Its Swiss ETA 6497/2 movement (OP XI caliber) is a little fragile: in almost 10 years, it has gone to after-sales service 3 times, each time because the winding spring had broken. I should point out that I am very meticulous, that I do not wind it until it is blocked (it is very possible that I will not reach the 56 hours of reserve for this reason) and that I do not do any violent sports with it (golf or tennis). The first two times, in direct after-sales service, I was not very satisfied. The third time, with the help of Maison Bucherer in Paris, the intervention seems to have definitively solved the problem and for more than 4 years, it has been running like clockwork. I wear this watch with different bracelets, a black leather one from the house, the rubber bracelet, but also Natos. I will keep this watch without hesitation, it is rare in this Titanium version and I love its iconic design. If you want to discover it, it is presented in an episode of Petites Montres entre amis.

A timeless watch with an iconic design

I must admit that I did not particularly like this watch the first time I saw it about fifteen years ago. To me, it looked like an old people's watch with its very large indexes, allowing better reading for the visually impaired. Finally, this watch has allowed itself to be appreciated and has become a must for my collection.

<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Beaubleu brand?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Beaubleu has just announced on June 5, 2024, the launch of a new limited series collection called<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/seconde_francaise"> Beaubleu Seconde Francaise</a>.
