I already have a Tsuyosa, which has a yellow dial. As a gold lover, I opted for this model which is reminiscent of the Daytona Jhon Mayer. 
This piece is magnificent, it is part of my collection and it sits proudly next to the Zenith, Rolex or Omega. 
This green sunray dial is just magnificent and I am in heaven when I wear it. 
The advantage with this model is that it is not widespread and therefore we never come across one which makes it an almost unique model. 
Tsuyosa my love

Gold is best of Tsuyosa

When Citizen releases this watch they are not at their best, the Tsuyosa comes to revive a market. The Tsuyosa is a marvel accessible to many and totally in the current trend. 
Unobtainable at launch with waiting times of 1 year for certain colors. 
I decided to take the model with Yellow dial which is a nugget, with its automatic movement it is already an iconic piece. 
I can only recommend it to a first-time buyer. 
It has everything going for it

The Queen of Tsuyosa

This watch has been in my collection for 20 years,
I wear it from time to time, the special feature is that it has a battery and is automatic, it is the ancestor of the sprint drive.
It is very pleasant on a daily basis.
It is a particularly endearing asymmetrical chronograph.
I also have the steel bracelet but less pleasant to wear.

Seiko Sportura Kinetic

This little Casio is not very impressive, it is a superb little quartz watch to wear every day. The budget to acquire it is very limited, even tiny. I really enjoy wearing it, just like my pieces from a great watchmaker. 
This Tiffany blue is fashionable and it is very beautiful on this dial.

A nice little Quartz

I initially wanted a Sub Mariner Date, the latest iteration of the house, then when I went to try this Sea Dweller I immediately fell under the spell of this magnificent diver. A very beautiful presence on the wrist, the red line, model initially released in 1999 for the 50th anniversary of the legendary Sea Dweller. 
I am not a diver, the only time my watch will see water is during a dishwashing session, no more, no less. It's a shame but who knows, one day it will really see the ocean. In the meantime, as soon as I iron it, it's a real pleasure. I recommend trying this watch, less common than its little sister and certainly less copied. 


4000ft~1220m Rolex Sea Dweller

I wanted a small watch with yellow gold because I love this material. I came across this model while doing a configuration on the Rolex website. 
So I visited my AD like many others who put me on the list. A week later I received a call to inform me that my watch was waiting for me at the store. 
I really love this watch that may seem Bling Bling and it is, but I like it like that. 
It's always a pleasure to wear it with my other pieces. I wear it in all circumstances, no matter what I'm wearing, because a watch is above all to be worn for oneself and not for others. 


Ma Blingblinguette

After trying the white dial and black dial models, I had the pleasure of putting this sublime piece on my wrist and I had a huge emotion. This watch is simply a joy, the El Primero caliber is fantastic, the details and the care given to this piece make it a reference watch. The green is superbly worked, the sub-counters also with the signature of the 3 Zenith colors. 
One of the beautiful pieces of my collection without a doubt. If I had to find a weak point it would be the metal bracelet which is not up to the standard of this manufacture. It's simple I replaced it with a rubber

The first one is Fantastic

This little Nomos has just arrived in my collection. The finishes are really well executed, this green dial called petrol is a success. What can I say about the finesse of this piece, only 8.3cm. 
Nomos is really a brand apart that combines the quality price ratio in a beautiful way. 
Remains to live with

Attention nugget

When you see this timepiece you understand that you are entering an extraordinary universe, a universe of poetry, a story that takes you far from the usual marketing of space, the sea or even the mountains climbed. 
Here everything is beautiful, the snow blue dial, the Zaratsu polishing, the Springdrive movement, it is a feast for the eyes and the head. This second hand that flies through the indexes at the speed of a galloping samurai without the slightest flinch. We understand that we are in Japanese poetry and magical art. 
A total success of a beauty characterized

The reflection of the sky in the snow

What a surprise it was to discover this unpretentious little Casio, so far from the Grand Seiko finishes, but for less than €60 it holds its own against many more expensive models. 
The Quartz movement is precise, the fluted bezel is very effective and this blue dial is very beautiful, it is also sunrayed. 
It is a watch that goes everywhere that you can happily wear a few n daily without fear.

A nice surprise

My first Rolex and I must admit that I am not disappointed, I hesitated with the Polar dial, but the hesitation was short when I was in the presence of this magnificent Explorer 2, this fixed bezel is a marvel, what can I say about the GMT function or rather a day/night marker, I do not know what it conquered but it certainly conquered me, I am crazy about it, I alternate quite often with my other trinkets, as soon as I open my pelicase, my heart beats wildly and this exploII winks at me "me, me, me, me" the 42mm diameter may seem large but it is not, a real daily pleasure. Little known and perhaps unloved, for my part I love it

Towards infinity, pure and simple

The watch of my 50th birthday, yes because if you don't have a Tudor at 50 it's not so bad. This Tudor diver combines class and sport, wearable in all circumstances, I particularly like its aluminum bezel, the details are quite crazy, I never get tired of wearing it and finding it again is always a pleasure. The size for my 16.5 wrist is just perfect, and this blue ahhhhh this blue is unique and so attractive. In short I love this watch, I put a special event in its history and between it and me it's for life.

The ocean is mine

Having owned a 2002 model that had signed my entry into the "superior" watch category, I resold this model by mistake and I bit my fingers for years. I learned of the release of a Sapphire model with applied logo, I could not pass it up, so I bought this model and I do not regret it, I find what made me love this model, with additional improvements, the coaxial movement, the Sapphire (sandwich) glasses and this look worthy of traveling to Mars, even if it has already been to the Moon (?). It is an iconic timepiece but not only that it is as sporty as it is dress Watch. a must have to wear in all circumstances?

The moon is not that far away

At first, nothing was predestined for this timepiece to enter my collection. Already having the Explorer 2 in my possession, I made the mistake of trying on this little Explorer, not so small, and it was love at first sight. It has a crazy charm, this plethora of details, this size, this presence, this brilliance made me fall in love with this little gem. My AD was able to find me a model in just 2 days. What a joy to wear it every day, it is discreet and so classy that I never tire of contemplating the 3-6-9 adorned with its lumibright. As you will have understood, I am crazy about it. It is very pleasant to wear even if the adjustment was a little too tight at first, the easylink has restored a little grace to my wrist. Far from the madness of Daytona and other GMT Masters, it really deserves to be an icon. I advise you to try it on to realize that you have a sleeping monster there

Conquering the summits

The Zenith brand was created in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle, Switzerland. A pioneer in Swiss watchmaking in the creation of a true vertically integrated manufacture, Zenith aimed to create the most precise watch of its time at the best price. Over the years, it has established itself as a benchmark for precision and expertise in many fields.
In 1899, the marque Zenith presents its first pocket chronograph and wins various prizes, including first prize at the Paris Motor Show. In 1911 Georges Favre-Jacot handed over management of the factory to his descendants, who named it Zenith, the name of the highest point in the trajectory of a star in the sky.
In 1920, Zenith launched its first wristwatches and continued its development until, in 1960, it purchased the Martel Watch Co. Nine years later, the brand gave birth to the El Primero movement, the first chronograph equipped with a rotor winding mechanism. central. This world first makes El Primero today the most precise mass-produced movement in the world, thanks to its balance wheel and its cadence of ten vibrations per second. Over the years, Zenith will sign numerous innovations. The company owns three of the largest movements: the El Primero integrated automatic chronograph, the 22-line manual 5011K and the ultra-thin mechanical Elite, all available with several complications, moon phase, dual time, fly-back.
After numerous buyouts, the company that owns the Zenith factory decides to stop the production of mechanical watches in favor of quartz. In order to save these calibers from destruction, Charles Vermot hid cams, cutting tools, presses and machines, while recording the production process in a small notebook, secretly hoping for the return of mechanical movements. It was only nine years later that Zenith returned to the hands of Swiss investors who revived the brand's mechanical movements such as the El Primero.
The range now includes models like the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zenith/defy_skyline"> Zenith Defy Skyline</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zenith/chronomaster_original"> Zenith Chronomaster Original</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zenith/defy_extreme"> Zenith Defy Extreme</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zenith/chronomaster_el_primero_open"> Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Open</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zenith/captain_chronograph"> Zenith Captain Chronograph</a>.

(Updated January 2024)

I bought this watch almost 2 years ago when it came out, having "fallen in love" with the model, its dial, its colors. 2 years later, the crush is still there. What can I say technically? 40 mm, El Primero / High Beat - ref. 3600 giving it 60 hours of autonomy, more recently completed by its sister 3620 equipping my Defy Skyline. A very contained chronograph both in terms of the diameter excluding the crown and its thickness, exceptional finishes, a sumptuous dial with 3 counters, tricompax required, in blue and gray tones that make it bright and lively. I am not used to using the chronograph regularly and yet it is quite a poem with its lightning speed like the small off-center second of my Defy. Its bracelet made by Gay Frère as at Rolex is very comfortable with a high degree of finish. Maybe a criticism on this one: its shiny polished appearance in the center would tend to attract visible scratches, however it is not a watch intended for maneuvering or work activities so a little attention spares me these problems today. The purists of the brand with the crown tend to criticize this model because of its undisguised resemblances to a Daytona with a very moderate final virulence. Zenith is indeed very legitimate having equipped the Dayto for a time with its Primero and then no one has the exclusivity of the tricompax :). In short, I love this watch whose balance I find perfect!

A “little” marvel!

I have always wanted a Zenith Chronograph, the model with black ceramic bezel and white dial was the opportunity to see a new direction of Zenith, this great manufacturer with an incredible history. I acquired this green bezel with green dial, this configuration left me with a very strong emotion when I tried it, as if it had been created for me. This timepiece is simply magnificent and has nothing to envy the model with the crown that is practically inaccessible and unobtainable in this configuration. The El Primero caliber is a historical reference and so beautiful. This piece is a jewel both in its colorimetric originality and its 5Hz movement

Magnificent Chronograph

Having an El Primero in my collection was a must. We won't go back over the question of whether it was really the first, but in any case, this movement has a history, as does the Zenith brand. And what a movement! More than 50 years later, it's still there. And seeing this hand go around the dial in 10 seconds, and offer you precision to the tenth, it's magical. I still had to choose the model equipped with this movement. This Chronomaster Sport is the first model I tried. And then I took the time to discover the range. Chronomaster Original, Revival, different colors, the Defy too. And then finally I came back to my first flash, this Sport model. I like the contrast of the white dial and the tones of the three sub-dials. The ceramic bezel reinforces this contrast and gives it this sporty character. It doesn't go unnoticed when you wear it, it attracts attention, not really a model to remain discreet. And so it is not worn in all circumstances. And then when you wear it in the middle of a group of watch enthusiasts, there is always one who will come and start the debate on the reference to the Daytona. And you can settle the question over a drink...
