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.

A delight

A beautiful little vintage Nappey, probably from the 60s/65s, a diver's style with a French Lorsa p75 hand-wound movement, a superb smoked and degraded blue dial, a non-notched bezel, no signed or screwed crown, no indication of water resistance but a screwed back! It just has the style of divers. A superb granny that runs wonderfully, with timegrapher results worthy of the modern COSCé watch. I mounted it on a superb racing-type leather strap from L'Atelier Romane, it suits it wonderfully. Thanks to Atelier du Calibre from whom I bought this superb watch and thanks to Théo.

A sponge-like air!

My Seiko Alpinist is sublime, it has toolwatch specs and a dresswatch look, a very good 70h power reserve with a very famous 6R35 movement! It has a diameter of 39.5mm. Really very pleasant to wear! I wanted a blue dial watch, waterproof 200m, without rotating bezel and when I went to Seiko Lyon I fell for this one with its green sunray dial (yes and not blue), its golden hands and its cyclops for the date (mandatory for my failing eyesight). A pleasure and a treat to wear.
But I had precision problems, it lost 50s per day 5 months after purchase. After it spent 7 months in after-sales service I got it back! It works much better. And I LOVE it!


Prospex Alpinist SPB121J1,

Zenith Surf, New from stock, from the 90s with a 2572pc manufacture caliber. I fell for this watch at the first Lyon watch fair in Saint Germain au mont d'or at the end of October! 
A small Zenith, blue dial, very simple with a date. It was love at first sight, although it is only 34mm, but it is sublime and it is a Zenith! And this blue dial, these applied indexes, the old logo on the dial and the crown, its straight horns, I am delighted. I didn't think I would one day be able to afford a timepiece from such a prestigious manufacturer. Well I am not very objective. 
Sorry for the mistakes in French
Thanks

The beautiful blue!

I bought this watch because I needed a simple and rustic watch for work (cook), after some research I came across Horloscaphe, The watches are designed and entirely assembled in France with a Swiss movement STP! I immediately fell for the simplicity, readability and its inspiration from the world of military diving. It's a field-watch. It has no colored or guilloche dial, no chamfering on the case, nothing special. It's just a diving watch. But here it is, it's simple, readable, precise, resistant (guaranteed), efficient and it has a rotating bezel with 60 CLIC. I'm won over.

Effective and inexpensive......!

The Sérica 4512 WMB is a small, discreet and refined manual winding watch! 
However, it is sold as a military watch, it could very well be a dress watch, a small diameter of 37.7 mm, a continuous thickness of 11.3 mm, a superb black enamel dial, broad arrow hands and a water resistance of 200m. 
It comes with a very beautiful metal "bonklip" bracelet, this bracelet has a particularly ingenious adjustment system but it has no safety on the clasp and it must be worn tight, otherwise it comes off by itself. 
So I wear my watch on leather bracelets (Romane or JB workshop). I wear it almost every day except at work. It is a pleasure at every moment and it has very good precision (drift +1 to 2s/day) for this SOPROD P24 MANUAL caliber. And good readability both day and night.
A superb timepiece that I highly recommend.

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Seiko </strong>brand, founded in <strong>1881</strong> by Kintaro Hattori in the Ginza district of Tokyo, has become one of the most influential and respected watch companies in the world. Since the opening of its first store, Seiko has continued a path of constant growth and innovation.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Seiko brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The year 1924 marked the first watch produced under the Seiko brand. The company continued to develop new technologies, and in 1956 it released the first self-winding wristwatch made in Japan. The real game-changer came in 1969 with the introduction of the Seiko Astron, the world's first quartz watch. This innovation not only changed the direction of Seiko but also revolutionized the entire watch industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">During the 1970s and 1980s, Seiko solidified its reputation as a technological leader with the development of solar-powered watches and the introduction of professional divers' watches. In 2005, Seiko presented the Spring Drive, a unique movement combining the strength of mechanical watchmaking and the precision of quartz.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In recent years, Seiko has continued to innovate by creating eco-friendly watches and supporting various environmental initiatives. The brand is known for its commitment to quality, precision and sophisticated design.</p>

Here is the latest one which is a Seiko Alpinist the latest Prospex model reissue of the famous and much coveted Sarb017, with its green sunray dial and its gilt indexes!
My model came out with the famous cyclops on the date which spoils a little this sublime dial, without further ado I modified all that and with a little trick I removed all that to give Caesar what is Caesar's! 😉
Even if the date is white it does not shock at all, the watch is now to my taste with the crazy charm of this so emblematic model. You will see in the photos before and after the removal of the cyclops, good reading thank you.

Seiko alpinist prospex

This Seiko Alpinist sarb 017 is very well made for its price. I bought it in November 2019 on Amazon for 500 euros. A perfect size of 38 millimeters rare in 2019 where watches are too big for my taste. All Seiko fans said to acquire this watch as soon as possible before it is no longer marketed by watch sales sites. This Seiko Alpinist comes straight from Japan and was not marketed in Europe, hence the obligatory passage to buy it, to go through an international online platform. The watch has a very nice finish for its price, a sapphire crystal and a steel case back and not transparent. Which gives it a vintage and high-end side. One could think of a much more expensive watch .... what made me crack in addition to its size of 38 millimeters is also and above all its green dial which changes in the sun from electric green color to a matte olive glass. The reflections of the sun make it unique and very desirable. It is a watch that is not often found on people's wrists. Two other super pleasant style details are the second small crown for the compass and its hour crown which is screwed for a water resistance of 200 meters. Even if I never put it in water it is reassuring. In addition the hour crown is engraved with a small S of Seiko. The gold indexes blend perfectly with the green of the dial. It has a classy and sporty side, which makes the watch very versatile and timeless. Its automatic movement keeps the time perfectly and it is like any good Seiko very reliable and inexpensive if you have to have it serviced or replaced. A watch to have for a man or a woman without hesitation so go for it!!

Seiko Alpinist sarb017

For the 140th anniversary of the brand, Seiko has released a new Alpinist limited edition Ginza. It is a reinterpretation of the Alpinist model that appeared in 1959... I had a real crush on this version. I love its look, the dial of this marvel is a real killer. Its 38 mm diameter is perfect. Very pleasant watch to wear. The 6r35 caliber is very precise 1s/d. You will have understood, I am under its spell. To date, it is the prettiest in my modest collection!

Seiko Alpinist spb259 Ginza 

A steel case, a green dial and gold indexes... The bet was risky but as the other would say, the risk pays off! Probably the most versatile and versatile watch in my collection with its very functional features: 38mm, screw-down crown, brushed case and polished bezel, very nice finishes, compass function, well-integrated date, applied indexes and logo, double crown. A watch that you can take to the ends of the earth and that has a real identity as we like them!

The SARB017, a watch with character!

In my watch box for almost 3 years, this watch is part of my daily life as the perfect everyday watch. Its limited edition dial (Mountain Sunset) sets it apart from the others. 

On a steel bracelet, it accompanies me to the ends of the earth thanks to its robustness and waterproofness. And on a leather strap, it is very easy to wear with a suit, a shirt or a more casual outfit. Its versatility is its strength. Although adventurous by nature, its polished bezel gives it a resolutely vintage dresswatch look. The cherry on the cake is the transparent back that allows you to admire the 6R35 caliber with its 72 hours of power reserve. 

The main flaw for me is the following: the precision of the caliber, remember to check this aspect, despite the quality of the latter, Seiko tends to tolerate too much drift ... mine went back to after-sales service, now it's ok: +10sec/day. 



A real everyday watch

It's always a pleasure to wear my Seiko Alpinist. It has a very discreet, slightly cream dial, a contained diameter! Chic and sporty at the same time. The cyclops for the date, the applied indexes, the screw-down crown, a real toolwatch, class in addition. I love this watch! It would have been perfect with a correctly adjusted movement... however I forgive it, it gives me a lot of pleasure.

Sporty and chic at the same time!

The Alpinist is the perfect everyday watch, versatile, it will reveal itself depending on the strap you put on it. In metal, it is perfect for vacations, or for a casual outfit. In leather, we would happily associate it with a tweed jacket, flannel pants, elegant but sporty. An iconic Seiko, which reinvents itself thanks to the color of its dial. Its strong points: the contained diameter, the waterproofness of course, the versatility, the slightly baroque hands, the (f)utile complication compass. Points for improvement: it would deserve to be thinner (like all watches), the cyclops, the compass crown that does not lock, the very curved folding clasp not suitable for a large wrist.

An off-roader with style

I purchased this watch at the very beginning of 2023 because I wanted an elegant, understated and robust daily watch. Quite classic in style at first glance, it actually reveals a lot of modernity in its details. Quite different from the brand's very first "Alpinists", it remains for me the most elegant in the collection. Its two crowns at 3 and 4 o'clock have two different functions, one for winding and setting the time, the other for operating the compass cleverly integrated into the bi-directional internal bezel. Displaying very good technical specifications such as its water resistance to 200m, its 6R35 caliber ensures very good precision with very low daily drift for a watch in this price range. Its 39mm case, almost entirely mirror polished, gives it a beautiful elegance. Finally, its very beautiful iced brown dial displays superb reflections in natural light, helped by magnificent "cathedral" hands and gold indexes. All of this forms a very beautiful marriage, sober and chic, ideal for everyday use.

Equally at home hiking or in a dressy evening.

A sleek watch, with beautiful details!

This watch is the reinterpretation of the Seiko Alpinist from 1959.
A magnificent anthracite sunray dial, the applied triangular indexes recall the mountains and their off-white color makes them stand out.

Transparent case back, which I love.
70-hour power reserve, 20 bar water-resistant: perfect!

Brushed bracelet with touches of polishing on the facets of the links, which gives a beautiful effect.
It is forgotten when worn, the bracelet is pleasant, but only 2 adjustment holes on the simple buckle.

The case is in 38, a bit small for my taste, but it remains a detail compared to the satisfaction it gives me.



A sleek watch with beautiful details!

My first Japanese watch. I had to have a Seiko in my collection. 
This one ticked all the boxes, green is my favorite color, its green sunray dial is magnificent, and perfectly set by its gold indexes and numbers. The cathedral hands complete the set and make this dial the essential element of this timepiece. 
The 39mm size will suit most wrists. Seiko should take inspiration from it for its Presage range. 
The 20 ATM water resistance makes it a real tool watch. 
The mountain being one of my passions, the "alpinist" heritage obviously speaks to me. 
However, I find many flaws in it. It is thicker than its previous version sarb017. There is no longer a claw on the crown. The cyclops was dispensable. The white background of the date too. Finally, the precision is poor, 25 seconds for mine. The problem is known. 
In short, a lot of annoying details but nothing that is a deal breaker for me. With its dial, damn it, I forgive it everything.

Alpinist, perfectly imperfect

Watch ordered without having tried it, I learned to appreciate its style. The cyclops was not mandatory but adds originality. Original strap in low quality leather, I opted for a leather strap that suits it perfectly. A field watch that goes with many different styles.

Seiko climber

During a weekend in early December 2022, strolling through the shopping streets of the sad city of Liège, I pass by a window of an AD Seiko. 

Stopping to contemplate the different models on display, I flash on the dial of this Seiko Prospex Alpinist “Rock Face”. 
At that time I do not know the model and not wanting to bother my partner, I do not take the time to go back to try it. I nevertheless take a photo, telling myself that I would go do some research on the internet once I get home. 
I finally forget to go do this research. 

For Christmas, I am in Paris at my sister's in the 6th arrondissement. I decide to go for a walk in the neighborhood on the 24th in the morning. I knew that there was a Seiko showroom in the neighborhood, I decide to go there. 

Being alone and having all the time in the world, I go through the door of the store. 
I walk past the various shop windows until I come across the famous Rock Face.
I decide to try it on. I like it a lot. I don't know if it's the very friendly salesman, the "limited edition" aspect, or the Christmas atmosphere, but I compulsively decide to take it.

2 years later, I somewhat regret my purchase.
The beauty of the dial that had hypnotized me that day is still there, but it no longer erases the negative points of this watch:
- The limited series is in reality too "available", can quickly be easily found in new condition with a discount of almost 20%. Certain effect of the Seiko Prospex policy of launching more and more limited editions.
- The two bracelets provided do not satisfy me. The blue leather feels very cheap when worn, an unpleasant impression of imitation leather. The fabric bracelet with leather interior, however, lacks flexibility and quickly becomes dirty.
- The watch, which keeps a rather contained diameter of 39.5mm, is disproportionately thick: 13.2mm. The case back is particularly thick and the lugs start too high on the case. 
- The case quickly gets scratches, despite a rather anecdotal wear. Quite disconcerting for a toolwatch. The quality of the steel is far behind my Victorinox STAINLESS. 
- The precision clearly does not seem to me to be there, without having had it tested. I realize that the watch takes several tens of minutes of advance between two wears, remaining on a winder. 

All these defects and the presence of many alternatives in my collection now make me want to get rid of it. 

Which goes to show that, for a long and serious relationship, it is better to take your time in your search and think twice, than to fall for an aesthetic love at first sight.
