This Grand Seiko watch was recently acquired during a trip to Japan. It stands out for its dark blue dial of fascinating depth that captures the light from different angles, creating subtle and elegant reflections, as well as its case cut with a billhook. Its simplicity is its strength: three hands powered by the Quartz 9F caliber, nothing more, for perfect readability and a refined design. The finishes, of unparalleled precision, reveal the excellence of Japanese watchmaking, where every detail is taken care of to perfection. With such a level of quality at an affordable price, this watch embodies the very essence of accessible fine watchmaking, combining refinement and precision.

A real slap in the face of finishing touches

Well this is not my first watch far from it, nor my first diver, on the other hand a watch that gives me so much pleasure, this has rarely happened, and yet I love my watches ;) I will not give the specs again it is useless because you must already know them if you pass by here, on the other hand what I can tell you is that despite these 39mm on my 21.5cm wrist and well it is not at all ridiculous. it is a bodybuilder with finishes worthy of the greats. I took it with the Newton as caliber, because I have no doubt that in 30 years it will be a collector's item. ;) Otherwise it is really very pleasant to wear despite the knack that you have to take to put on the bracelet, on the other hand this bracelet is really great because depending on the heat of the cold the setting is a delight, a kind of micro adjustment. This Mi GMT MI Diver bezel is ideal for me because I set it to the time zone of my best friend in Melbourne, it's super practical. A real diver and a real brand that I think will go far.

53-03 The Purist

Some will see a Royal Oak like and they will be right! it is undeniable the attractions of this watch that we can compare. However it is a reissue of the 70s, from Nivada, superbly faithful.
The impeccable finishes, undoubtedly a downside on the bracelet and the endlink, otherwise it is very comfortable
Be careful with the dimensions of the small because indeed it is given for 37mm in diameter, but me who wears a big watch it is very good, so be careful with the small chicken wrist.
And finally it remains to talk about the dial ... or rather no I let you admire the reflections and gradients, a killer that make it a very special watch.

NIVADA F77 Smoked Blue

A very grand title to finally be only a ghost
It is also this aspect that attracted me to her.
Square but curved watch, it is suitable for large wrists, (chicken wrists abstain)
It imposes itself by its size, its shape, its style, its color and of course its movement
Valjoux caliber, we will inevitably feel it on the wrist.
Sapphire crystal front and back
Very modern finishes of the dial which I hope you will be able to notice in photos.
The black PVD coating goes away with the years so you have to be careful of friction.
The comfort of the bracelet is unique, it is a real asset to this watch.
Watch of my 40 years I can only love this beauty, even if finally I wear it little because it does not really go everywhere


Pontos Carré Full Black Chronograph

Well here is my little Grand Prix, it's a Jump hour, really atypical, worthy of the 70s. This brand no longer exists to my knowledge. It's a watch that doesn't really have much financial value. The movement is a manual movement, not of great quality, and even quite low-end. However, the finish of the dial with this blue, the discs of the same color (like what more than 50 years ago the manufacture managed to do it ;). and the case, yes the case makes all the charm of this grand prix, I call it the cube but the proportions are perfect, with an alternation of polished and brushed. It is light and portable. It is without a doubt one of my favorites in my collection and probably the one that didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

Jump hour "le cube"

We are far from these last very interesting releases with the PRX in particular.
To travel a little more with this little bit of history that Tissot tells us with this SeaStar from the 70s. I would say that this watch is a candy from the past, with a dial that exudes decades gone by. A patina on the dial that here pulls as much on the green as on the beige or even champagne at times.
So it is certain that many here will see only an uninteresting bit of the past, and I dive into it as if to try to find out what this beauty could have lived.
A heart beating with a precision that could make the recent ones blush, an incredible lightness a diameter of the time. Nothing great and yet

Tissot SeaStar Automatic

This little Omega has been part of my collection for a while now, and is not really new. Case called Jumbo for the time with its 38mm a domed plexi glass 
This nugget has 2 particularities, the first being its tuning fork caliber, which gives it its nickname of bumblebee caliber, because it purrs like a bee. The second particularity and this one is linked to my watch, is its dial called spider, we are not going to lie to each other it is a dial defect that flakes or rather cracks over time, it gives a spider web effect which depending on the angles of the light is visible, or not. We like it or not, but think well that if it is mine and well personally I love it


Omega Geneva F300

Small Quartz Chronograph that has everything of a great one.
Indeed this unpretentious watch with its Swiss quartz caliber has an unfortunate tendency to have a resemblance to well-known chronographs. And yet it has nothing to do with it!
40mm watch (it's my wife's favorite), Steel case that alternates between polished and satin. The horn to horn is quite short, the bracelet is surprisingly very comfortable. I like to change the bracelet on my watches, this one has never had the right as long as it is comfortable.
The dial is undoubtedly its strong point. 3 sub-dials of the chronograph, large date at noon with perfect integration
The hands are not treated with super luminova, it's a bias, you either like it or not.
Water-resistant to 100m which makes it a real sports watch
Too bad this version was never made to accommodate a mechanical movement, because the design really deserves it.


Maurice Lacroix Miros Chronograph

"Tank" Miros a real Dresswatch
Last ML to arrive in my collection, I must admit that I fell under the spell of this dresswatch which takes up the codes of the famous Tank. Indeed the rectangular case the silver railway the Roman numerals, you would really have to be blind not to see the similarities, and yet ... between the layout and design of the dial the integration of the date, the ML manuf movement makes it a very unique watch. I only wear it very little now and my wife much more than me, because yes its size and shape make it a unisex watch (despite my Tanos wrist) an ultra contained thickness and a shine in the sun from the case and its dial make it a superb watch for flashy occasions. Brand far too underrated which according to the models are worth a spotlight.


Miros Automatic "Tank"

I'm not going to go back over this watch because almost everyone knows it. I tried it, loved it, and completely embraced this beauty. And quartz seems much more legitimate to me because of its history. It has become a real toolwatch. It does everything, from skiing to commuting. The steel bracelet is very comfortable. I also have the leather one, which is more for winter and between us it changes look. That is to say that I have almost 2 watches. It took me a while to buy it because I was really hesitant, and I don't regret it at all. Top finish, comfortable for my big wrist.

TISSOT PRX Quartz 

Here is a small neo vintage chronograph equipped with a Seiko Meca Quartz. The finishes are very well done, the contained diameter and thickness also, the change of bracelet suits it well too. No small seconds which can justify the meca quartz. In limited edition this beauty is declined over time and the desires of their manufacturer, who are not French, but who use a story telling to make us believe it. A point which precisely denotes is the tachymeter scale in Miles which does not correspond with the image which wishes to give of it. We can note superb details with the white chrono hands with the orange tip which with this slate dial touches just right. The applied indexes are of the most beautiful effect

Slate Heritage Chronograph

This watch is not one of my favorites and yet...
It has everything a great watch has, polished and brushed steel, 12-sided bezel, integrated bracelet, simple and effective sunray dial, hour and minute hand, just to make us forget that it is a quartz (very appreciable, it must be recognized.
But its advantage is its thickness, which must not exceed 5mm
Be careful with its diameter because it exceeds 42mm, I know that it exists in smaller ones for women.


Delphin Quartz

Here is one of my 2022 favorites, Bought in a numbered Blue edition, I literally fell in love with the photo, Titanium case, dimensions, dial, index hands, domed glass, there was only one detail that I didn't like, the bracelet, in fact it's not my style. I put it directly on Nato at first, then on engineer steel. and indeed, the steel bracelet would suit it very well, however you have to find one, and if possible with the end links but Baltic does not offer it yet. Otherwise the watch is perfect, precisely no false notes.

Aquascaphe Titanium, Almost too perfect

A typical watch from the 70s, this Sicura Diver is as rare to find as the wait I had to wait to get it.
In its original condition, it needed a good polishing on the case and the bracelet was not original, so I changed it and got a two-tone Jubilee to honor it.
It must be admitted that its mechanical movement with manual winding is not a lightning bolt of war, in fact it is rather low-end for the time. However, it is still running after 50 years. Precision being secondary to me, I don't mind winding it up and setting the time when I wear it.
The hesalite glass is quite fragile, but superbly domed which gives it a crazy charm.
The dial is champagne with applied indexes without Lum. A fluted bi-directional bezel with 15min indications, which absolutely does not make it a Diver, as its name indicates... But hey.
It is undoubtedly one of the least expensive of my watches and yet its assertive character and its shape which combines Tool Watch and diving watch particularly successful for the time surely makes it one of my favorites.

Sicura Diver... or almost!

It is an aviator type watch because it has a diameter of 42mm
Which suits me perfectly for me and my Tanos wrist
The dial is really well finished, the integration of the date and day are superbly done
The blah-blah is interesting in its integration too (the kind of detail that pleases)
The polished domed 316L case makes it almost a dresswatch
The crown takes up the aviator type codes big crown (NBY logo)
Classic Miyota movement well decorated without being stunning either
Slightly domed sapphire crystal which follows the case, a pure detail! The back is also sapphire
For the LUM, I will not say non-existent because there are some on the half-skeleton hands and on the 3-6-9 o'clock noon indexes
A negative point the leather strap on the folding clasp is really not good quality I changed it immediately so you will not see it. The box is really not great, besides it's just a poorly finished felt case so I won't talk about it.
Forced to note that I have nothing to say about the quality and of course the design which for me is simply a perfection of originality

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 is also known for being the official watch supplier for many professional sports such as the NBA, MotoGP and Cycling.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Tissot watch cost?</h2>

(Updated April 2024)

The typical example of a watch that shatters prejudices about watchmaking! A legendary manufacturer, a terrible 70s look, a blue sunray dial with the most beautiful effect and a very pretty brushed finish all that for “only” 300€, less expensive than a watch made in China bearing the logo of a major ready-to-wear brand. This PRX is a great option for anyone who wants to take their first steps in watchmaking or who, like me, simply wants to add a pretty little piece to an already well-stocked collection. I chose quartz on this watch to stick as closely as possible to the original version (seastar quartz). Watchmaking is not just a question of money and this PRX is the perfect example :)

Tissot - PRX

I received this watch as a gift, which I wear almost every day and I never get tired of it. Its strap is very pretty, and above all the color of this sunburst green dial is simply magical. The only small downside could be the comfort of this watch due to its strap and the shape of its case.

Tissot with green dial

The Tissot PRX watch is now one of the must-haves of the Swiss watch brand founded in 1853.
The charm of this Tissot PRX also lies in its full steel format and its angular shapes.
The Tissot PRX is indeed positioned as a beautiful Swiss watch at an affordable price, between €300 for quartz to up to €2,100 for the most beautiful automatic models.
The Tissot PRX is a state of mind, a barrel-shaped case where a discreet round bezel is housed and from which starts a particularly well-made integrated bracelet.
Perfectly suited for lovers of steel watches with a sporty chic look with a touch of vintage.

Tissot prx quartz 40mm

As soon as I saw them in photos I knew I was going to fall for them. During a weekend in Amiens I tried the 2 models: quartz and powermatic 80. The sunray blue dial excited me more than that of the automatic and although I prefer mechanical watches I found it more in keeping with the spirit of the 80s Seastar to take it in an electric version. No regrets, this watch has become one of the ones I wear the most. Sporty chic, waterproof to 10 atm, comfortable; the dial is really superb and playing with the light is a real pleasure. Very good value for money (at the time €350). I love it so much that I bought its 35 mm twin for my wife...but that's another story

The watch of summer 2021!

Having already bought the Prx 40 quartz, I gave the 35 mm model to my wife before the summer holidays. I love its design. It is a bit too small for me, mine in 40 mm being a little bit big. I am being picky but in 38 mm it would be perfect. Otherwise the same qualities and defects as the 40 mm. Well finished, beautiful bracelet not easy to adjust because there is no fine adjustment of the butterfly buckle. My wife loves its sky blue dial. The new automatic tapestry version is also very beautiful. It is quite versatile and can be used for swimming (10 atm), but for her it is a fairly urban watch in its style.

Little sister

I was looking for a watch but something that spoke to me. Something solid, and simple. After several searches I understand that there is an endless universe of cases, materials, calibers, bezels, lenses ... (terms that I did not know existed 6 months ago)
In short, Tissot spoke to me, the model seen on the internet (Tissot gentlemen) was not in store and on the models presented by the saleswoman this PRX is there. I barely notice it on the table. When I put it on my wrist I love the look up close, the moment it "clicks" the bracelet it was decided I left with it without even knowing the price. Well the quartz model was the most affordable, and that does not seem crazy to me for this very 70s model. I am delighted, I admire it as on the first day, very comfortable, very readable. I even surprise myself watching the indexes shine on certain orientations. I love it, I devour all the dualicious shows and the human experience is fascinating.
Thank you for all these watches, these discoveries and these emotions.

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.

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.
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Beaubleu brand?</h2>
Beaubleu has just announced on June 5, 2024, the launch of a new limited series collection called<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/seconde_francaise"> Beaubleu Seconde Francaise</a>.
