In the 2000s, Tissot had released the T-touch range which was fashionable. Then a few years later, the Sea Touch arrived. We saw it in all the advertisements. Being a diver, I rushed to acquire it. Indeed, it has a depth gauge, gives the ascent speed. Perfect to support my dive computer. In addition, it has a 2nd time zone, stopwatch, thermometer and compass. It has everything to please. It accompanies me to the 4 corners of the globe and in all the seas. Even after 15 years, it is my faithful companion for my holidays. To this day, it is far from being outdated and works like the first day.

The diving watch and more

I had the opportunity to acquire this watch in 2010. It was named "fusion of materials". Indeed, these materials are: ceramic, carbon fiber, steel and rubber which characterizes this watch. It is recognizable from very far away even for those who know little about watchmaking. It is very pleasant to wear despite its large size. The complications that characterize this watch are the date and the chrono. I like to look at it and it has a timeless look. I am won over!

The Big Bang that merges with matter

Until now, I had never had a Japanese watch. I came across this "Fujisubo" model by chance and I found that it had a beautiful story. Indeed, it is a reinterpretation of a watch that had been found in 1983 on a beach in Australia that was covered in small crustaceans and that was still working. This new version is even more interesting because it is made of titanium. I think it was Citizen who launched titanium on their watches. It is therefore very light and Citizen powered it with their caliber 9051 which is a good caliber. Unfortunately for me, I had bought it on the web and had not tried it before. Personally, I find that it does not fit my wrist. The result is therefore mixed. It is magnificent, light and its movement is very correct. I keep it and wear it from time to time to remind myself that it is essential to try before buying it.

Since 2023, I have had a buying fever. I stumbled upon the Alpina website and my eyes were hooked on this model. It has several complications that you don't see often! Chronograph with big date including a sub-dial that measures the tenth of a second. The movement is certainly in Quartz and it is very precise. The dial is very readable, worthy of an aviator's watch. For the finishes that this watch offers, it is really not worth its price. The details are truly incredible. I think that Alpina is really an underrated brand and has nothing to be ashamed of compared to the big Swiss brands.

In 2009, I wanted to buy an exceptional watch. So I went to IWC and wanted to acquire the Top Gun. The customer service was incredible and let me try several models. Finally, I came out with the Big Ingenieur with its impressive 7-day power reserve. In addition, its Pellaton manufacture movement was a real plus. It is very technical with its polished sapphire, you have the impression that there is no glass. It is imposing but it remains discreet. Why discreet? Because compared to Rolex or others, few people know this brand. This is a brand for connoisseurs. It is my favorite brand. I have owned it for all the years that I have had it, it is the one I wear the most. My watches that I own must be worn. It is in no way for investment. I will have to bring it back at the start of the school year to give it a major overhaul.

Imposing but discreet

I discovered it on an online site. I had already heard of this brand. I immediately fell for its flashy look and its bidirectional internal bezel. In addition, with a window on its heart was a plus. I love the dial and when the second hand turns, we see its shadow follow the hand. There is a feeling of internal volume that I love. Its water resistance to 300m is not left out. Despite a Myota movement, it is very precise. After a week, it lost less than 15 seconds. In short, I am totally a fan.

Original and very clear

I came across some articles this summer and I was immediately won over and decided to pre-order it. I only received it on December 24th. Its dial is beautiful as well as the finishes are exemplary. I love its retro and vintage look and its hybrid mechanism does not bother me at all. On the other hand, the only downside is that it is clearly too small and for a tool watch, it is clearly unusable. Let me explain, the tachometer markings are barely visible and really too small. Even if it remains a gadget, it should be usable. The watch case should have been larger so that it could be used. When I look at it and wear it, it looks like a watch for a 12-year-old. I think that watches are like clothes, you have to try them on before you buy. I have never worn it and I am going to part with it.

Beautiful but disappointed

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>.
