Very nice surprise this expedition north GMT! It's simple, I can't take it off anymore! Ultra light, it sits very well on the wrist (17). Compact despite its 41 mm. I love the shape of its very successful cushion case.

Timex paid attention to detail, the dial is very beautiful and readable, the date is in black, the GMT mention is yellow like the hand, the crown is signed, sapphire crystal. Titanium case and bezel.
Purists will say that we could have done without the open back. I think Timex insists on the fact that it is an automatic.

All this really makes you want to go on an adventure.

Expedition GMT 

Very endearing this Meca revolt, it pays homage to the mangas of the 80s, James Bond atmosphere, as you can see on the box. It is teeming with small funny details.
The bezel is fixed and interchangeable (a second one is provided), we find inscriptions on the top right in a very original way, like on the lens of a camera.
The case takes the atypical forms of the meca 2, this time a little less angular.
The bezel is screwed on very easily which allows to change look.
The dial is straight out of a manga, with its second yellow lightning and its small black syringe hands.
The bronze-colored crown is screwed, because make no mistake it is a real tool watch waterproof to 200 m with an indestructible myota 82S0 caliber.
The very nice case back represents a combat swimmer at the foot of a lighthouse.
The tropical bracelet is very pleasant to wear.
It's a fun and entertaining watch, everything is done very seriously, the quality is amazing and the comfort is unmatched.
For adventurers nostalgic for A2 recreation!

Funny tool watch 

I just realized that I haven't introduced you to my C2!
I had the pleasure of picking up this watch at the showroom and chatting with the creators.
A very beautiful 2-level dial, sunburst for the minute track and with a gray seabed map with a touch of blue.
The case exudes quality, Akrone working a lot with the army.
The logo is a hexagon with an ermine (and yes Brittany!) inside, all forming the A of Akrone.
Waterproof to 300 m, it is ready for adventure.
The case back represents a kraken in homage to Jules Verne and the city of Nantes.
A fun little detail, there is a return of the Kraken's legs on the dial in the seabed map.
A very pretty knurling of the signed crown which allows a good grip.
The two-tone bezel indicating hours and minutes allows a clever "GMT function" for travelers.
I really like its polished skeleton hands and applied indexes.
There, I think I've covered this beauty.


The adventurer

I can't get enough of this dial! Minimalist and full of details, the faceted indexes and the sunny blue dial have a great time in the light. The minute track is cut into the dial. A small set ruby is at six o'clock to indicate that the movement is automatic (miyota 9039).
A very good quality/price ratio for this first model a little more high-end timex, a pretty "skeleton" case quite original, the bracelet has not been forgotten with a "snap button" instead of the loop, a small laboratory of ideas this watch!

The Timex 

Nice design for this krono-sprinter, the latest Lima watch candy, a minimalist design that plays with colors, this black sub-counter as a nod to the car racing of the 70s (see the box).
Cream dial with just a 12 at midnight ;) or the off-center inscriptions accentuate the asymmetry, which is the most beautiful effect. Bi-compax mention, because yes it is a real bi-compax (two complications) 24 hours and chrono timer for the sub-counters.
The "square circle" tachymeter bezel adds to the vintage side of the watch.
The screwed crown takes the original shape of that of the Meca revolt.
Very nice engraving of the Lima logo on the case back.
All this, on a very pretty super comfortable bonklip bracelet.
For the price of a moonswatch, we have a pretty meca quartz!
I validate!


Ready to race!

Ah the good old days of old toys, here is the Lima Meca 2, a minimalist watch with an original cream dial, old school as you want with the raised central disc indicating the minutes, the hands, the blue typography...

The concept immediately caught my eye, it is wound with a hexagonal butterfly key like a toy from yesteryear, which is quite funny.

The case is a block of finely brushed steel cut from the mass reinforcing the refined side.

The whole is very homogeneous and balanced, it is driven by a seiko nh35 visible on the back, behind a time travel gun (which the watch offers us) another fun detail.

Finally a watch that doesn't take itself seriously!
I love it!

Fun and entertaining

Very happy with this small field watch small second, very readable with a beautiful lum. Brushed case and polished and brushed bezel on the top. Dirty dozen Modern with a timeless look. We feel that it is robust, its small diameter is very pleasant (37mm). The 100 m water resistance allows you to take it everywhere on an adventure. Personally I love it! Bravo Vario!

A great little waterproof Field watch

Same case as the retro dial, here is this new version in automatic version, the index/hand combo is magnificent, with nice details, the indexes reflect the slightest source of light and make it very readable, despite the absence of lum. Its all-steel look is resolutely vintage! A real pleasure to wear!

Brew metric automatic

Giorgio Galli is an Italian designer who has been working with Timex for some time. After a 41mm version released in 2019 that had a bit of an effect, the 38mm version came out at the end of 2021 and, in addition to offering a more reasonable size for small wrists, corrects some of the flaws of the first versions. The watch has the perfect dimensions for my taste: 38x45mm, about 11mm high with a slightly domed sapphire. The dial is sunray blue, without superfluous literature. Timex below noon, period. Only a synthetic ruby above 6 o'clock gives the change in the lower part. The faceted and beveled indexes reflect the slightest ounce of light to make it a walking projector, while the rest of the railway is hollowed out to mark each minute. The hands, also faceted, are a good length and offer an anecdotal lume (really non-existent). What really makes this watch different, what made me fall in love at first glance, is its case, whose sides are generously hollowed out to reveal a imitation screw thread on the interior height, as if the dial were screwing into the case. This pattern is repeated on the outside of the screwed case back, revealing the Miyota 9039 with its decorated and badged rotor, and also on the thickness of the rubber strap (very comfortable, with an ingenious long strand attachment system) coordinated with the color of the dial. The crown takes up this design element, making the entire watch very coherent, both fluid and industrial, an effect accentuated by the almost complete brushing of the case, with the exception of the chamfer of the bezel and the recesses on the sides. In summary, this watch is magnificently homogeneous, and its design could make it box in the higher category, the one that will tickle the €700 mark. Only in photo unfortunately, the movement being (very) noisy and clashing a little with the image it wants to give itself. Last negative point for me, the meager water resistance at 5atm. On a watch with such a versatile look, with its sports inspirations and mounted on rubber only, a 10atm would not have been too much and would have made it the wonderful daily under 500€ that we can expect from the American giant. A narrow miss, but no doubt that the Peanut firm will surprise us with a V2, already in the pipeline

The Timx that wasn't really one

Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques. Les aiguilles rondes, signature de la Maison, sont le reflet d&rsquo;une singularit&eacute; et d&rsquo;une simplicit&eacute; sophistiqu&eacute;e. Chaque mod&egrave;le arbore un design d&eacute;licieusement contemporain, o&ugrave; chaque d&eacute;tail, chaque surface, interagissent avec la lumi&egrave;re.
Cassant les codes de l'horlogerie traditionnelle en apportant une vision nouvelle du temps, les montres Beaubleu sortent des sentiers battus en arborant des aiguilles rondes et &eacute;vid&eacute;es, inspir&eacute;es des travaux de Galil&eacute;e dans sa compr&eacute;hension du syst&egrave;me solaire. Ces aiguilles affichent de mani&egrave;re po&eacute;tique les heures, qui ne pointent pas un index ni une graduation, mais qui indiquent une position, un instant depuis le centre du cadran.

Created in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.
Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing a new vision of time, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.
