Like many Omega watches, the Seamaster caliber 1310 combines an elegant design with reliable mechanics and exceptional precision. 
Inside we find a very first in-house caliber from Omega, and we immediately see that it's not joking. 
If the exterior exudes robustness, the same goes for the movement, Almost no plastic inside. 
For the design it's radical or you like it or you don't. 
Despite its rather imposing proportions it has found a place on my 17cm wrist. 
Due to its shape and its curvature under the case it is positioned very well and does not turn despite the weight of the beast. 



An assault tank

This 1962 polerouter is attractive, due to its rather unique patina reminiscent of molten magma depending on the light, due to its caliber, a cal 218-2 micro rotor with a beautiful finish with its 28 jewels, its twister horns. The watch is quite light and has a diameter of 34mm excluding the crown and wears very well on beautiful leather. A beautiful automatic Swiss watch with a beautiful history, and existing in several variants for everyone's tastes and colors.

Attractive 

Happy owner of this Rolex 1680 red for almost 2 years, nothing made me want to have one.
By the greatest of coincidences, it was a friend who offered it to me when it was broken.
At first I thought it was yet another Rolex and then I saw it.
Its old proportions, its hesalite plexi, its patina made me switch to the Swiss brand.
Without further ado, I took it with me to give it a new lease of life without touching the cosmetics.

Each brand has its own history that I am lucky enough to know, impacts on the bezel are diving accidents, a ghost bezel is exposure to sea water and the Moroccan sun.

It is one of the watches that I wear the most and that I will surely pass on to my son in the future



a grail

What can I say about this Seiko model that really does not go unnoticed.
The first time I saw it in a photo I fell in love with it and I said to myself I need one.

It has everything to please, an asymmetrical shaped case, echoed by a smoked glass itself asymmetrical which gives it reflections going from a metallic blue, to green to purple.

It really does not go unnoticed on the wrist.

Inside we find the caliber 38, the second quartz caliber of Seiko and when we see it we understand immediately that it is quality, no plastic, a lot of rubies and an excellent quality of assembly.

A butterfly in the wild

In the 80s, LCD was fashionable. What can we say about this model, Atypical with its horseshoe insert, its multi-functions where we find the time, date, alarm, chrono, 10 atm waterproofing and especially the possibility of putting a second dial to the right of the watch that can act as GMT.

Few people know it but in the James Bond film series of the 80s, the watches that equipped our favorite spy were Seiko.
Often innovative models showcasing Seiko's technological know-how such as the TV model in the film Octopussy.

I f... love this vintage Seiko! Yes, another one crazier than my chronostop... Dial, shape, color, case, crystal... are just amazing. Crazyness has a price for such a vintage $1,250, but it is just shocking how I love this watch. I am lucky that it's fully working and keeps crazy good time! I am becoming more and more involved in these crazy 70s Seiko with hundreds of colors. OK, it's a Quartz movement and i have no idea yet how often i will have to change the battery. No big deal! I was told that vintage Seiko bracelet are cheap and unfortunately it is the case.
