What can I say about this watch? It is simply superb. Whether it is its fluted bezel, its hands, its subtle grey dial or its imposing crown, no lack of taste tarnishes the beauty of this charming Oris. I would add that I love the famous pointer date and that its deer bracelet is both beautiful and comfortable. Its 38 mm diameter seemed small to me but in fact it is in perfect harmony with the vintage style of this model. A discreet and refined watch.

flying deer

This very elegant omen condenses for me all the know-how of Seiko. Its lacquered dial with this indefinable color is beautiful and its very classic hands suit it perfectly. A power reserve, a retrograde date and day, complete the whole in a beautiful way and the Roman numeral indexes have their place on this model. It is certainly the classiest in my collection. A marvel!

Craftmanship Series

I had this Italian brand in my sights for a long time, but its presence in France is unfortunately quite discreet and I had never had the opportunity to see it and try it. It was at a watch fair that I was finally able to touch and put this watch on my wrist and it did not disappoint. This moon phase at six o'clock gives it its identity and its simple but successful aesthetic ends up setting it apart in the watch world. Its 39 mm diameter is perfect and the screw-down crown is also very successful. A beautiful engraving on the case back adds a bit of charm to the whole thing but its bracelet did not suit me. I was able to choose another one more in line with my tastes at no extra cost. Simple and discreet, this little one has a crazy charm. I am won over.

Charming Italian

Total crush on this magnificent omen. I walked past the window about ten times to finally fall for this superb Seiko. Then I had to decide between the green, the blue, the white? Difficult to choose but I finally opted for this pretty copper color that is rare to my knowledge. It has everything to please me. A GMT hand, a power reserve and a date dial that is unfortunately a little too small. I'm not even talking about the dial with this pattern that catches the light and the very angular case that gives a very modern look to the whole thing. The second hand flies on the dial with its 8 vibrations per second which adds even more to the pleasure of looking at it. My favorite watch? Maybe.

Presage GMT Sharp Edged

Tissot is for me the entry level of Swiss Made with nice models but which sometimes lack a little originality. Often a little too classic for my taste. This rebirth of the Sidéral is an excellent surprise and I was immediately attracted by its colors and the shape of its carbon case. I had some doubts about the bracelet and its particular fastening system but in use, it is rather pleasant. Here is a fun and quality watch that will be perfect for the sunny days of this summer.

New Sidereal

This is probably the oldest of my watches. It has been in my collection for a while and I still love it even though time has not been kind to it. It still works well, but the date sometimes refuses to change. Its dial is really special with this pretty blue and its gold indexes. The bezel housed inside is really original with all its different colors. We haven't seen this style for a long time. It is always a pleasure to wear it and it does not go unnoticed.

Old lady

Originally it was the famous Legend Diver that had attracted me to the store but this Skin Diver immediately caught my attention and what's more, it was on sale. So I asked to put it on my wrist and it was love at first sight. I had completely forgotten my first choice. A perfect size, a superb dial in its simplicity and readability, the hour hand with its characteristic shape, a very present crown and above all, very long horns that give a lot of personality to this model. In short, you get the idea, it seduced me almost at first glance.

Heritage Skin Diver

During a visit to Seiko, I inquired about the Spring Drive calibers that I thought were reserved for Grand Seiko. The friendly salesman then brought out this big, imposing beast and explained that he always had a few examples for some enthusiasts. First impression, what is this thing? Imposing and unusual, I was immediately won over by this sliding second hand which is absolutely magical. It also has a magnificent, very deep black dial and a very unusual, very discreet GMT hand, unlike what is usually done. A date at 3 o'clock and a power reserve thrown in somewhat at random complete the ensemble. Its case is asymmetrical for better integration of the crown at noon. Very light, thanks to the Titanium, it is not exactly beautiful but its charisma and originality seduced me immediately.

Different

Previewed on the internet, this watch immediately attracted me. However, I had to see it before succumbing. It's not easy to find a Mido in a store and in any case in Lyon I didn't find one. A short trip to Clermont-Ferrand allowed me to try it and at the same time choose between the two models offered. The only one available was this one and I left with it. I love its colorful dial, the engraving of the superb starfish, its GMT function and its large power reserve. With the Milanese mesh bracelet it is magnificent. A little bonus that I discovered in store, it is COSC certified. I never take it off.

A rainbow on the wrist

I like Citizen watches for their affordable prices and their qualities. A Promaster with its very particular style had to be part of my collection and I discovered this beautiful red color which is extremely attractive to me. Powered by a high-performance Eco-drive and with a very beautiful luminescence, it accompanies me to the seaside during the summer and frankly, it looks great. A small criticism though, its bracelet is solid but a little too rigid for my taste.

For the summer

I fell for the very raw design of this Citizen. Its large matte titanium case looks really industrial and its blue dial inspired by the skin of a whale shark fits perfectly with the whole. It looks indestructible. I also like its screwed crown and its well-protected bezel. The back with its beautiful aquatic engraving adds a bit of fun to this model and the eco-drive is for me a nice alternative to classic quartz. Not really beautiful but attractive.

Whale Shark Limited Series

Here is a Hamilton that is a bit different from all the Khaki models of the brand. I find it very classy. I have few rectangular watches but this one is my favorite. Roman numerals on a pretty green dial for a simple and dressy style, I like it a lot! In general, Hamilton bracelets are average but this one is nice. Let's also specify that it is a mechanical watch that will have to be wound every day, that too I like a lot.

Simple and dressy

We regularly come across this model with a white dial but, much less often in this configuration which is perhaps a little less readable but in my opinion just as beautiful. The Roman numerals bring a touch of classicism and its crocodile strap is comfortable, the moon phase is very pretty and its open back is well worked. The perfect dress watch that amazes me with its complication and elegance.

Complications and elegance

I like two things about Swatch. The automatic Sistem 51 and the steel chronos. We generally think that these are low-end watches, not repairable and therefore disposable consumer products. This may be true, but some of my Swatches are over 20 years old and they still work very well. In any case, the brand allows you to treat yourself at a low cost and this chrono is a very good example. I like its adventurer look. The dial is very readable and its color alternates between gray and khaki depending on the light, its strap is comfortable and I find it rather aesthetically successful.

Chrono Turf Wrist

As soon as I heard about this model, I ran to Seiko to reserve this limited edition color. Then I had to wait and hope and one day, I was finally able to try and especially admire this beauty. The dial is simply magnificent! I would have fallen back not without a little hint of disappointment on the other available colors, but this one was by far my favorite. I love everything about this watch. The second hand, the bezel and as a bonus, the GMT hand that completes the dial. A comfortable bracelet, a diameter of 42 mm that passes very easily and a very successful mix of polished and brushed surface. I am in heaven every time I wear it on my wrist.

Prospex Glacier blue

Spinnaker is a brand that allows you to acquire nice and not too expensive divers. I stumbled upon this limited edition that I found superb. The dial with its green turtles is original and the whole is rather qualitative. The movement is a Seiko which is reassuring and the bracelet is of good quality. Very happy to have another Turtle in my collection and especially a watch that I will not come across every day.

Turtle Green

The famous PRX needs no introduction. A real aesthetic success with the very good Powermatic 80 movement inside. I have often seen it and tried it but until now I had not yet cracked. It took this new color that I love to finally succumb to the beautiful Tissot. This color brings out the grid of the dial in a beautiful way and it is very comfortable to wear. I finally found the perfect model.

Perfect color

I have been looking for a Seiko Turtle to my taste for a long time and I finally found this model with a magnificent dial. I like its legendary case and its beautiful presence on the wrist. I would have preferred a more qualitative movement than the 4R36 but for once, it is surprisingly precise. Maybe because it is made in Japan? In any case, it is superb. I love it.

Seiko U.S. Special Edition

I really like the Citizen brand, which makes many nice and reliable models at low prices. This one is powered by a solar Eco-drive that ensures precision and autonomy. But it's its very original look that seduced me. A crown in an unusual position, a 60 at 12 o'clock, a big black bezel and a touch of orange to brighten up the dial. I would add a comfortable rubber strap. The only downside is that the date window is strangely planted on the 3. It's not great. In conclusion, it's an unpretentious but pretty and pleasant watch.

Sporty and accessible

I chose this watch for its Kinetic movement which I think is only used by Seiko. The combination of green and gold always works and I find the sunray of the dial very pleasant. The fixed black bezel brings a touch of sportiness and the small date at three o'clock is discreet and well integrated. The push button at two o'clock acts as a power reserve since by pressing it, the second hand advances more or less depending on the remaining charge. It then returns to its starting position. Good idea! Precise, pretty and not very expensive, it has its place in my collection.

Quartz sans pile

Once the endless queues were over and now that availability is much easier, it was time for me to acquire the famous Moonswatch. I chose the Saturn model for its original sub-dial representing the planet and for its pleasant colors. So of course and even if the Omega logo appears prominently on the dial, I am not fooled, it is 99% a swatch. But I like this brand which offers colorful and fun watches. It is very noticeable, it is aesthetically successful and if its scratch bracelet put me off at first, it remains pleasant to wear. I do not regret my purchase.

Saturn and its rings

What attracted me to this diver is its yellow color. Its large black bezel provides a nice contrast and I find its dial quite successful with its relief and its indexes slightly inserted into the flange. A nice presence, a certain weight certainly, but that doesn't bother me. In short! I find it successful. Its bracelet seems solid, its luminescence is very present and I really like having it on my wrist.

Safety Yellow

Like the Alpinist, it has a compass bezel and a pretty X on its dial, but the comparison doesn't go any further because this Prospex field has a real adventurer look. Even its color seems made for adventure. Waterproof to 20 Bar, compass bezel and on the back you will find the ground-air emergency signals in case of a problem. I really like its very particular utilitarian style. The crown disappears under the bezel to leave all the space for adjusting the compass, which is also well protected.

Field watch

This Tissot chrono is not very discreet. Imposing thickness, generous diameter and wide leather strap, it does not go unnoticed on your wrist but that is perhaps what I liked about it. I also like the symmetry of the sub-dials skillfully accentuated by the circle at 3 o'clock which contains the brand and the date. A very clear dial with steel indexes gives it the distinction necessary for all Tissots. I also really like the small opening at the back which lets you glimpse the movement. In short, a Brut and chic chrono.

Little brute

My first beautiful watch. Given to me by my wife, it was the centerpiece of my collection for a very long time. It was also the one that sparked my passion and it was followed by many others. It has a kinetic movement that combines the best of quartz and automatic. I also really like its chronograph function which, even if it is not really useful, gives a little life to the dial. Despite its years, it is still very precise but the time indication is shown on a sub-dial, with age, I have more and more difficulty seeing the time passing. It has taken a few wrinkles and is no longer really in fashion but I continue to wear it very often. No more news from the Seiko Premier. I would like to know more about this name which seems to have disappeared from the Japanese firm's catalog.

Seiko Premier Kinetic Chronograph

Swatch does not only make plastic quartz watches and has even innovated with its famous Sistem51. I have several in plastic, Bioceramic and steel. This Irony Boreal is for me the most successful of the series thanks to a superb blue dial inspired by navigation compasses and a nice steel bracelet. Of course, the general quality is not at the level of more prestigious brands but if you want an inexpensive automatic watch, it is a coherent choice. My two regrets are the absence of a stop second and a particular bracelet attachment system which minimizes the available choices.

Swatch automatic

A small orient not very well known but which is rather pretty. Golden hands and indexes on a very large white dial, I find it very attractive. a function allows you to know the dates of the days of the week by setting the year to the current month. it is a manual function usable until 2043. then, a change of disk is possible according to the instructions provided with my watch. a little gadget but these two dials at 12 and 6 o'clock integrate well and bring a very original touch. for me it is a beautiful aesthetic success.

Multiyear calendar

I have a soft spot for GMTs and this Nautic is a very nice example. I particularly like this red hand that contrasts with the pretty blue dial, then the combination of blue, white and red colors works very well. The inner 24-hour bezel also contributes to the very open aspect of the dial, all reinforced by a domed sapphire crystal. Mounted on a tropical bracelet that fits perfectly with the whole, this watch has a lot of personality and contrasts with more classic divers. Since my purchase on order (Limited Series) I wear it very often.

A diver like no other

The Tissot brand was created in 1853 by Charles-F&eacute;licien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile in Le Locle in Switzerland. Since its creation, the brand has distinguished itself by offering a pocket watch indicating two time zones. As it developed, Tissot had to structure the house to focus on the export market and more particularly in Russia. Tissot is known for its innovation. She created the first antimagnetic watch in 1930 and the first automatic wristwatch displaying 24 time zones without manipulation in 1951.
In 1971, she also created a model made entirely of plastic, including its mechanical movement, the Tissot Astrolon. The brand positions itself in the mid-range and wants to offer quality at an affordable price.
