The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Here is my little (48mm) aeronavigator, from Moscow Classic. It is clearly connected to aviation, the background is just magnificent.

It is a mechanical chronograph, without a quick date, with under the hood a Poljot 3133 mechanism (it is a so-called improved and Russian version of the Valjoux 7734).

It is solid! It is very reliable.

The leather strap is rather ordinary but holds up over time (and then I am not going to put a NATO strap on a Russian production, it would be heresy especially at the present time).



comrade !

Here is a watch that doesn't pay for mine!
I was in an outlet in Germany, and there was the whole collection of Automatic diaphane at a really great price... so I bought them all!

Here is the one I wear most often.
Not the most discreet, all plastic or almost!

The visible movement, super reliable!

Apparently it is irreparable but for the moment (almost 20 years that I have them), none have let me down!



Swatch diaphane automatic: plastic is fantastic

A diver! Very useful, especially when diving in your bathtub!
100m? 300m? Not enough! 1000m waterproof! Just that!
A small helium valve, a crown to calculate dive times…
Of course, a Swiss-made automatic, and 48mm in diameter (that’s respectable).
So what is this prestigious diver???
Are you dreaming of rare and/or very expensive pieces…

Well no! It’s a Sector (I can sense from here that the craze is no longer the same).
But Sector was pretty good at one time.

Anyway, here is my diver that I wear from time to time, full back, imposing, reliable, it’s a bit different!

I must have a special fondness for ugly ducklings

A little-known diver

Here is my latest arrival in the collection.

A pretty black Baume et Mercier Clifton, with its alligator strap.

Of respectable dimensions (45mm), I find it very elegant and very classy.

Inside it is classic: a SW200

I like to wear it, it is discreet enough to only attract the attention of amateurs.

I can't wait for its strap to be made to my wrist (the joys of a new alligator strap)...

For me it is a success.

Elegance…in XXL format

I was 12 years old, and I was eyeing this model that a family friend was proudly wearing.
It made me dream: chrono alarm, countdown… and then I discovered Breitling a little…
I learned before having it that it was a quartz… that put me off!
Plus the quartz was none other than a Miyota… in a Breitling it looks bad.
And then I ended up buying it…
It can’t be explained, but I love it like when I was eyeing it as a child…

And then… it’s still a Navitimer!

My first watch crush

I snapped it up on the net, but hadn't tried it before. It's beautiful with its white dial, its slightly weathered leather, its slightly coppery case... 44mm on my wrist has never been a problem, on the contrary. So I wear it from time to time, but, because there's a but... its crown is disproportionately large, and if I have the misfortune to use a computer keyboard, it gets stuck in my hand, leaving a pretty mark...

Is suffering good for you? Nevertheless, I don't hold it against me and wear it from time to time.

The Swatch brand was created in 1983 by Nicolas G. Hayek in Switzerland. The name "Swatch" is a portmanteau formed from "second watch" or "swiss watch", in reference to its objective of offering an affordable and quality Swiss watch. Swatch launched its first watch in 1983, revolutionizing the watch industry by offering colorful and fun designs at an affordable price.
The range includes colorful and fun designer models like the Swatch Original, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/irony"> Swatch Irony</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/skin"> Swatch Skin</a>, or the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/sistem_51"> System Swatch 51</a> an automatic model entirely assembled by machines. Swatch surprised everyone in 2022 with the launch of the collaboration with Omega and the becoming famous <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/moonswatch">Swatch Moonswatch</a> !

This is my first analog watch! I bought it in my last year of engineering school and it accompanied me to my first job. It was my daily for about ten years until I bought an Orient Bambino and my partner gave me my Longines Presence in 2010. This Swatch Irony Chrono reference CADMOS YCS409 is robust, elegant with its openwork hands that remind me of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, the chronograph hand has a look that reminds me of the Speedmaster.... The worm is in the apple. I like its matte black dial and the whole thing is working 100% for over 23 years. My son has already spotted it in my collection and he plans to get it soon. By the way, this watch is indestructible but who said a Swatch is disposable?

My Swatch Irony Chrono is indestructible!

Casio irony JO de Sydney 2000...quartz, approximately 36 mm. In new condition (I have a second one...), I don't wear it, it reminds me of the Olympics and Australia....it is very readable with its white background. The rubber strap is of superb quality. Thick and comfortable. The downside of this model (and other Swatch) is the noise of the second hand!!!

Back to Sydney...

Watch given in 2000 by my wife 25 years ago and still functional.
I wore it frequently for almost 8 years but since then it has been stored in my watch box and it very rarely returns to my wrist.
At the time I loved wearing red in my outfits, so it seemed obvious to have a watch of this wrist color.
It is an unpretentious watch, it is fun with its flashy red dial color, always precise and very practical with its chronograph.
It will always remain in my collection because sentimentally irreplaceable.

Technical data:
Swatch Irony Chrono BULLFIGHTER YCS4010
40 mm aluminum case, plastic glass, chronograph, date, water-resistant 3 m

I present to you my Swatch Irony size 38mm in diameter with a black unidirectional bezel and an Aluminum case. Thus this feature allows the horns not to break like on the plastic Swatch models. My model is sober, silver dial, black diving bezel, large black Arabic numerals in indexes. This watch is very versatile, extremely comfortable, light (Aluminum case 👍), thin, precise, modern ... with its Swatch Swiss inscription in green and its Mercedes hour hand, it looks like a Rolex GMT Master II 🤭🤔😉). It can be worn in all circumstances. Its small flaw: limited water resistance (depth not mentioned), where its cousin, the Swatch Scuba (it, in plastic) had a mention "water resistant 200m.

Swatch Irony Aluminum unidirectional bezel

To Xavier and PMEA, it encourages us to explore our drawers and... magic. The watch of my college years: steel and blue. This quartz watch has everything a child-friendly watch needs: highly readable with numbered and doubled hour markers in the afternoon, cyclops on the date window at 3 o'clock, steel bracelet and folding clasp. The thin steel bezel is engraved with "swatch". It may be from this watch that I get my love for blue dials!
