Following the fairly recent discovery of this watch on a fellow Bordeaux YouTuber called dialicious 😉I was pleasantly surprised by this watch at an unbeatable quality/price ratio
Tiffany blue color in tune with the times with a beautiful sun, plus a date also well integrated
Bracelet of good quality also with a micro adjustment easy to access with a tool however
A downside is the power reserve not always homogeneous sometimes far from the 40 hours initially announced

Citizen integrated bracelet unbeatable value for money

Looking for a GMT watch at a reasonable price, I naturally turned to this French brand that knows how to reinterpret the codes of vintage with taste and sobriety
The dial is deep black with a very good level of luminescence on both the dial and the bezel
The visit and trying on of the watch in their showroom is worth the trip even if ordering online is also a good way to acquire the beauty
Good quality tropical book bracelet also possible to replace their rice grain bracelet with many micro adjustments and especially equipped with quick pumps as standard on steel bracelet
Also well decorated case back
Sober blue GMT hand that does the job
Bracelet photographed here not the original one a more comfortable rubber tropic B
Two downsides to note: hard bezel and crown on the contrary seems fragile when you turn it, a known problem at Baltic

Balticly yours - from GMT with love

Hello 
Already a big fan of the Serica brand since the beginning, we are witnessing the rise in the range of all watches at Serica including the fief Watch 
My first Californian dial watch with a very beautiful black enamel dial with the most beautiful effect
The hands have been redesigned to be more in osmosis with the diver and the Gmt
A change in continuity
The bonklip bracelet still has its effect, no need for micro adjustment
Cosc watch under the €1000 barrier, who can do better? Not many people
A single downside, more audacity in terms of design compared to the 4512 would have been appreciated

Serica field from Cosc with love 

Having discovered this young Serica brand on the internet I found a simplicity and a reinterpretation of the field Watch code magnificently designed by Jérôme
I wanted to see it in their showroom which is a showcase sublimating their creation what can I say how not to fall for all their variations of their 4512 and now their little sister the 6190 their dial with an impressive lacquer applied

Serica 4512 premiere watch masterstroke

Having bought my first beautiful watch, an Aquaracer 300m of a more modest size, I wanted to continue in continuity with a contained price
I naturally turned to Tag Heuer and their Aquaracer range equipped with a quartz movement
Very readable watch with steel bezel that can move easily for a good dive
Screwed crown required, very easy to access and protected
Three downsides:
Adding links requires handling with tube pins, not easy
Micro adjustment only three notches and Tag does not provide half links
It is heavy all the same

Solid and readable Aquaracer

My first watch from a major watch brand purchased over 25 years ago now and still functional
Equipped with a quartz movement and yes it happens to me with formidable precision
Screwed crown of rigor absorbs shocks without problem
Old-fashioned clasp with double security and a contained diameter no longer available currently
Very good luminescence despite the years😁
5-position micro adjustment system allows a perfect fit not necessarily the case on more expensive watches including the new aquaracer only three adjustments
One criticism is the tube pin system not always easy to adjust to size in the summer without fear because fragile

Diving with complete peace of mind

Owner of a number of watches
this is my first Titanium with a beautiful anthracite dial readability
The gold applied indexes are not flashy as one might have feared.
Longines' move upmarket is undeniable, Coscee plus Titanium watch
What can be said about the power reserve tested and found a real camel 72 hours measured
A real flexibility of the crown
The only flaws: too much information in the dial and the 21 mm lug spacing

Spirit welcome to the world of aviation

Owner of the other two Serica the diver 5303 and their field 4512 I wanted to see their new and first GMT
The reversed white and black ceramic bezel is beautiful with a magnificent rendering
A flexibility when you turn it incredible
We feel the move upmarket with the cosc certification now
The gmt is indicated with a very original sienna lollipop and their classic broad Arrow for the hour hand
The paw of Jérôme the designer has struck again and hit the mark
The only small downside is we are waiting for their metal bracelet planned for 2024 🤫

A GMT that has everything a great one has to offer

What else can I say about this Serica 
First of all the one-click bezel of unmatched flexibility with a steel ceramic marriage 
It can be used in GMT mode with this two-part bezel, it is finely thought out by a designer like Jérôme who has hit the nail on the head, he is strong 👍
A flattened Milanese mesh bracelet of incredible flexibility, tailored to the size, no problem for chicken wrists or more Thanos versions 
The dial which uses the same lacquer as the 4512 plus the B-road arrow hour hand, a very beautiful diver at a reasonable price which is now cosy
Only one downside is the crown which sometimes plays up a bit

Serica dives in chic fashion

What a discovery thanks to you Xavier with your presentation on your channel which made us meet Nicolas the founder of the Beaubleu brand
An original way to read the time via its three circles which turn without necessarily being the most precise the blued second hand is beautiful
Bravo for this achievement the hammered Milanese mesh bracelet is beautiful with unequalled comfort
In short a poetry of all time I have a hard time not looking at it all the time to admire these moving circles
Only one downside is the readability especially when you get older

Vitruvian Poetry

What can I say about this watch, already an encounter, access to a very seventies universe when you enter his stores
Alain the founder knew how to put his mark and design these watches with his own know-how while respecting the watchmaking codes, precision, robustness and the world of surfing that we see in this watch
A work on the bracelet, a hammering never seen before at this price level
A move upmarket with the new g100 movements, I recommend the boutique experience that allows you to discover this universe, not only watchmaking
A great discovery

A beautiful start

The Swiss watch brand Tag Heuer is the result of the merger in 1985 between the company Heuer, founded in 1860, and the group TAG (Avant Garde Techniques). This union marked the beginning of a new era for the brand, characterized by a combination of technological innovations and a rich watchmaking heritage.
<h2 dir="ltr">Background of the Merger in 1985</h2>
In the 1970s, the Swiss watch industry went through a tumultuous period, known as the "quartz crisis". The mass introduction of cheap quartz watches, mainly from Asia, threatens the survival of traditional mechanical watch manufacturers. Heuer, despite its established reputation in the field of chronographs, did not escape this crisis and encountered financial difficulties.
In 1985, the group TAG, specialized in cutting-edge technologies, particularly in aeronautics and Formula 1, acquires Heuer. This merger gives rise to Tag Heuer, combining Heuer's watchmaking heritage with TAG's technological expertise.
<h2 dir="ltr">Renaissance and Modernization (1985-1999)</h2>
Under new leadership, TAG Heuer is undertaking a strategy to revitalize the brand by building on its heritage while incorporating modern innovations. The brand is reintroducing flagship models such as the TAG Heuer Carrera and the TAG Heuer Monaco, adapting them to contemporary tastes while retaining their iconic design. These reissues are a success with watch enthusiasts.
TAG Heuer is also introducing new product lines, including the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/2000_series"> TAG Heuer Series 2000</a>, a collection of waterproof sports watches, and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/6000_series"> TAG Heuer Series 6000</a>, which combines elegance and performance. The brand strengthens its association with the world of sport, in particular Formula 1, by becoming the official timekeeper of several teams and events. These partnerships reinforce the dynamic and innovative image of TAG Heuer.
<h2 dir="ltr">Acquisition par LVMH et Expansion (1999-2010)</h2>
In 1999, the French luxury group LVMH (Mo&euml;t Hennessy Louis Vuitton) acquires TAG Heuer, thus integrating the brand into its prestigious portfolio. Under the aegis of LVMH, TAG Heuer invests in research and development to design its own movements. In 2004, the brand unveiled the Calibre 360, a mechanical chronograph capable of measuring 1/100th of a second, a world first.
TAG Heuer continues to innovate with models such as the TAG Heuer Monaco V4 in 2009, the first watch in the world equipped with a movement driven by belts, and the TAG Heuer Microtimer Flying 1000 in 2011, capable of measuring 1/1000th of a second.
The brand is expanding its global presence by opening flagship stores in key cities and strengthening its distribution network.
<h2 dir="ltr">Diversification and Connected Watches (2010-2020)</h2>
Faced with the emergence of connected watches, TAG Heuer decides to adapt to new technological trends.
In 2015, the brand launched the TAG Heuer Connected, its first smartwatch, in collaboration with Google and Intel. This model combines the traditional design of TAG Heuer with the functionality of a modern smartwatch. TAG Heuer is expanding its historic strategy of partnerships, particularly with automotive brands such as Porsche, and offers limited editions celebrating iconic events or personalities.
<h2 dir="ltr">Recent Commitments and Future Outlook (2020 - present)</h2>
TAG Heuer continues to strengthen its position in the luxury watch market by focusing on innovation and respect for its heritage. The brand offers reissues of historic models, such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/carrera_chronograph"> TAG Heuer Carrera</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tag_heuer/monaco"> TAG Heuer Monaco</a>, incorporating modern technical improvements while retaining the original design. Many limited series will be released to the delight of collectors.
TAG Heuer is committed to green initiatives, including reducing its carbon footprint and using sustainable materials in its products and packaging. In 2024, LVMH, parent company of TAG Heuer, enters into a 10-year partnership with Formula 1, strengthening the brand's association with motorsport.
In conclusion, since its merger with TAG in 1985, TAG Heuer has navigated between tradition and innovation, consolidating its strong position in luxury watchmaking. By combining its rich heritage with technological advancements and strategic partnerships, the brand continues to appeal to watch enthusiasts around the world.

(Updated November 2024)

The ideal watch to get started in luxury watchmaking. For lovers of style, this watch goes with all types of styles, from formal suits to casual Sunday wear
A "suitable" retail price for a quality watch that carries the legacy of an iconic watch brand; without falling into the excessive price of watches without any particular complication from other brands.
This diver (300m) will suit those looking for a discreet timepiece that, although imposing with its 43mm, is unknown to neophytes and will ultimately only be recognized by a handful of connoisseurs.
A subtle blend of brushed stainless steel and ceramic, the unidirectional case-bezel assembly is aesthetically very beautiful due to its unusual geometry (and reinforced by the crown protectors). The case back is solid with a diving suit-shaped engraving that in no way alters the wearing of a very pleasant watch on the wrist.
The blue sunray and ribbed dial gives the impression of looking at a different watch each time, depending on the viewing angle. The logo (like the hands) is rhodium-plated, which gives the watch some substance.
Bracelet with a branded folding clasp with adjustment over 15mm (especially for diving). Downside: this buckle is a magnet for micro scratches if used regularly (and yes, a watch is worn!) but which easily disappears when polished.
Easy maintenance, simple handling for a truly successful set of a Tag Heuer classic that I can only recommend due to its excellent value for money.
Perhaps a power reserve greater than 38 hours and availability for steel models other than the classic black/white/blue would have been necessary.


A plebiscite

What would a collection be without a diver? What would a collection be without a toolwatch? What would a collection be without a robust watch, that can be worn every day, that can be discreet when necessary but can also be flashy? If I had to look for a watch for each category, I would be ruined and I would not know where to start… while my Tag Heuer Aquaracer succeeds in the challenge of ticking all these boxes! And much more! I am not afraid to wear it every day, I spend a certain amount of time at the sea and it accompanies me there, and, big positive point, it can change its look completely by alternating the different bracelets! The nato suits it perfectly, the tropic makes it vintage, a leather gives it an adventurer look, and on the original steel bracelet it is beautiful and simple. In short, an all-in-one watch, surely the one I wear most often, at a reasonable price, and which has more than one string to its bow!

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300m, all in one!

I always wanted to buy a TAG Heuer and my passion for divers pushed me towards the Aquaracer.
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M embodies sporty elegance. Its notched bezel and sleek dial evoke both robustness and precision. A watch that breathes the sea and adventure, while remaining refined on the wrist. A timeless classic.
Acquired at auction in England, this Tag symbolizes much more than a purchase: it embodies the emotion of a successful quest. Sobriety and refinement are the key words for this diver. A unique piece, full of history and timeless charm.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300M

As a young customs officer at the French-Swiss border for a few years, I gradually learned to love watches.

Although I wear a Garmin every day for work and for sport, a few months later, I push open the doors of a jewelry store for the first time. Once, then twice.

Finally, at the end of 2021, in line with the brand's values, my use and especially my budget, my choice will fall on the Tag Heuer Aquaracer caliber 5. I am delighted and very happy to present it to you.

My first watch: Tag Heuer Aquaracer caliber 5

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer is a special watch for me because it was with an old version of this model that I began to take an interest in watchmaking. This evolution of the model is, I find, very successful with its characteristically shaped case, Tag having even pushed the detail to the point of working on the shape of the indexes. The watch is thin despite its 43mm diameter and this contributes greatly to making it well proportioned. The dial is well worked with its horizontal lines and the same patterns continue on the bracelet in the rubber version. The circular magnifying glass is original even if it does not add much in my opinion, the difference with other watches is that this magnifying glass is located under the glass. The rubber strap with folding clasp is rather qualitative and offers a very appreciable micro adjustment. An endearing and unique watch.

A diver with her own identity

I had two versions, the one with the date at 3 o'clock (older) and the one with the date at 6 o'clock. The latest version I have (professional 300 42mm) is better finished and has a bracelet with a beat that is easy to adjust without removing the watch. This makes it easy to play with the size of the bracelet. This watch is worn every day, it doesn't make me jump to the ceiling but it does perfectly what I ask of it.

Good watch that does the job.
