Ah the 60s, classy....
Integrated bracelet, hand-wound caliber to spend time with your sweetheart when you wake up ahah
Only downside is the 34mm case, more refined than temperamental, but still a joy.
Appliqué logo, signed crown...a sports watch that ultimately goes unnoticed, and it's a treat ;)

Tissohhhhh

We can regret not having been young in the 70's...they knew how to live...what a look to die for...an integrated vintage bracelet with an incredible look
The Caravelle brand was part of the Bulova group, reference SET O MATIC Caravelle by Bulova
Movement 7715, 17 jewels, in short they preferred to put the package on the design ahah and finally it suits me well to have a tractor on my wrist and it shows
Finally the little tritium touch on the points above the indexes goes cream as we say at home ;)

Long live the Seventies!

This divine vintage watch has a patina on the hands and indicators that would make more than one pale...
This is probably the watch I prefer in my collection despite its 35.5mm diameter
This must be one or the first YEMA diving watch, with an automatic FE 5611 movement.
On a rubber strap, this watch can go on all fronts (not just sea....)
I love it and my eyes sparkle every time I wear it on my wrist.

The underwater nugget

Nothing original at first glance, to talk about Speed ... but this watch has bite, character perfectly embodying the pioneering and adventurous spirit (black dial and hesalite glass). We do not feel the 42mm on the wrist, so much the watch hugs the wrist. 
The famous caliber 1861 equipped the beauty. The steel bracelet gives a totally lunar look to this watch. unfortunately with the heat my wrist tends to swell so I got into the habit of dressing it with a nato from Omega which gives a little less pep to the watch, but each time I put its steel bracelet back on, the bromance starts again ... On the other hand, the more the years go by, the more the tritium dials catch my eye, these watches have an aesthetic power without any possible measure with the reference that I own. Maybe I will do a lunar jump for an 861 in the future ;)

So go to Speed'ee...

Like any tic tac addict, I scroll a lot without any real goal in order to discover new references (or brands). A lover of divers, I was one day (or one night) on a virtual watchmaking stroll, when I came face to face (well, nose on screen) with this IWC Aquatimer GST 2000, reference 353602. An immediate love at first sight for its design and curves. The obsession was just as sudden. I found an unstoppable way to chase it from my thoughts: buying it a few months later from a French dealer in Certified Pre Owned. 
This integrated case comes with a magnificent steel bracelet, which I find very elegant but unfortunately not very comfortable. For daily use, or at least more recurrent than very occasional, I was able to find the original bracelet in a rubber version giving a more adventurous side to this nugget. From memory, the caliber is a derivative of the ETA 2892-A2, which did not tip in the balance, the design of this diver being divine:
- a refined dial (exceptional readability)
- a massive case (42mm, 14.5mm thick), but on the wrist, there is a visual crushing of the watch that goes everywhere.
- a matte black unidirectional bezel with raised inscriptions, which has always hypnotized me.
- a massive and screwed crown.
Concerning the drifts, it is not a watch that I use daily so I adjust it each time I use it.
This watch is a pure pleasure, for the eyes, a little less for the wrist (except with the rubber version).

A Permanent Watch Obsession

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. In the Tissot range we find flagship models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/prx_powermatic_80"> Tissot PRX Powermatic 80</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/le_locle"> Tissot Le Locle</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/telemeter_1938">Tissot Telemeter 1938</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/v8_swissmatic"> Tissot V8 Swissmatic</a> or even the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/seastar">Tissot Seastar</a>.

Tissot Pr516 watch ideal for those who love vintage and want to start a collection at a lower cost, beautiful dial ☀️ ideal in any situation except water for this model. Comfortable, precise Omega 1481 movement for Omega 2481 for Tissot, same precision, pleasant format, vintage watch that has nothing to envy our watches today.

PR516 Tissot 

When you like watches with integrated bracelets... well you hunt around non-stop to try to discover the immense diversity of this 70s style and then you also buy compulsively! This is the case with this 3rd PR516 in my collection, after the blue dial, here is the gray dial! 

It is a little customized with an orange / red hand that goes very well with the gray sunray dial! It is certainly too short but that is not my main concern. My idea was to have a trio of Blue, Gray and White. It is done with this one which comes to clutter the drawers and rarely my wrist. So what? 

When you like something in watchmaking, it is difficult to get rid of it and in my case, I am little or no seller. I love its style, its small size (35mm) its simplicity of execution characteristic of Tissot. of this era. Its market value struggles to reach multiples in hundreds and you tear everything up in the evenings as soon as an amateur approaches and wonders about the beast... which is only a marmoset in the middle of the big gorillas from Audemars or Patek...

What fun to make the illusion with this one or one of the two other PR516 integrated bracelet ;-)

Another one with a gray dial

I really like the PR516 range from the 70s/80s. It is a small 33 mm watch with an integrated bracelet. The very prominent applied indexes and the Tissot logo also applied are characteristic of this period. The blue dial is superb and the PR516 mention in red gives it a funky side that other versions do not have. It perfectly completes my collection of this style without having anything to envy in terms of look to models from other brands of the same period.

Beautiful vintage 70s at a low price
