Reglex - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

Here is a simple and unpretentious little REGLEX watch. I say simple, but it is not pejorative. On the contrary, I like this raw side. It looks like the case was simply cut from a block of raw steel, without embellishment. And I am not even talking about the bracelet which, with only 6 brushed steel links, knows how to remain comfortable. The smoked dial can take on shades ranging from orange bronze to very dark brown. Superb. The design is typical of its time (the first owner bought it in 1972), where brushed steel invaded everyday life, whether it was lighting, hifi, ... and watches. The movement is a classic FE 3611, surprisingly precise (this is not its strong point in principle). It is a watch that I have had for more than 15 years, and that I wear regularly without getting tired of it, because I love its refined design. Truly a beautiful little vintage nugget!

I present to you this surprising "square" shaped Reglex with a wonderful slightly patinated linen dial, a slightly offset date at 6 o'clock, delicious applied indexes and luminescent baton hands, well almost! What a delight this watch from the 70s with its case shape. Reglex means REGlage EXcellent... It fits a France ébauche FE140-1b. It is truly a marvel, it sits perfectly on my small wrist with its 33mm and less than 40mm from lug to lug. I completely fell for this delicious French dresswatch that I could have bought in my childhood. And all that for less than 100 euros, it is absolute happiness.
