Why customers love Auricoste?

What a success, this Fusco (in homage to the commando riflemen)! Incredible finishes for the price (€2,300), a precise movement (COSC), understated but incredibly harmonious colors—in short, the perfect daily watch thanks to its 37mm diameter. I find touches of Tudor BB, Longines Zulu Times, and a slight explosion spirit with its 3, 6, 9. An incredibly bright lum, a very thin case (nicknamed the invisible) in homage to the French submarine. It has nothing to envy from the major watch manufacturers (which would sur…

If you are looking for a watch with military DNA and historical legitimacy… but also versatility to be able to wear it in all circumstances, the Auricoste Type 26 Aéronavale may be for you! I wore it for a few weeks before its launch for pre-order on November 16, 2023… I share my opinion with you. The Auricoste Type 26 Aéronavale is available in two versions, one in Black DLC and the other in Steel. The Steel version, which I wore, is available for pre-order from November 16, 2023. You know my collection of asymme…

Looking for a watch with a military past, I looked for a model with a heritage. Many brands met my criteria. Unfortunately, the historical models were out of my budget. That's when I discovered Auricoste and particularly the Spirotechnique. The military past of this brand spoke to me. The multiple partnerships with French and foreign military authorities seduced me. Not to mention the fabulous history of the Spirotechnique which worked to make diving accessible. The Spirotechnique is a diving watch, waterproof to…

The Spirotechnique watch by Auricoste seduced me with its subtle link with the world of the French Navy, evoking family memories and values with which I identify. It is true that its diameter and weight are quite large but I quickly got used to it. Super luminova very effective (at the cinema or in a nightclub to know when it is time to go home!) It is always nice to introduce the history of the watch and the brand to the curious! No problem to report on its operation apart from a slight play in the bezel. Overall…

Having served France in the French Navy for nearly 30 years, I embarked on warships that were equipped with the time network provided by the Auricoste company. Beautiful bulkhead clocks that stood in the navigation shelter, at the Telecommunications PC, at the Operations Center or at the Machine PC, encouraged me to take an interest in this watchmaking company founded in 1854. So this year we are celebrating the 170th anniversary of this Navy Watchmaker! When you wear a uniform, there is only one object of coquetry…

Hello Diver watches are, by far, my favorite watches. So, a few months ago, I acquired a Doxa aqualung limited edition. The opportunity for me to look a little into the history of Commander Cousteau and to remember the adventures of Jojo the grouper that rocked my childhood. Along the way, I also rediscovered the history of the Aqualung company/spirotechnology with their various collaborations with watch brands: Doxa therefore, but also Auricoste. I knew Auricoste more for its type 20 that I had the opportunity to…

Historical watch produced in only 250 copies for the research and intelligence sections of the famous 13th RDP. Very solid and very well finished military watch with a vintage 70s-80s look. A historical watch with a memorable past that makes many people envious and very difficult to obtain (there must be around forty left in the whole world.

More than 20 years ago I became interested in military chronographs supplied to the armies, particularly the French army. Breguet is well known to collectors for its Type 20, but Auricoste is less so... even though the brand was chosen during the same call for tenders as Breguet to supply flyback chronographs to naval aviation officers (if I understood correctly). Mine is in generally good condition and above all fully functional in all its complications, particularly the flyback. Too bad we can't post videos to s…

This Auricoste is exceptional, truly worthy of its illustrious past! The more I use it, the more I am amazed by its durability and elegance! As a sailing enthusiast, I regularly go to Glénan (in Brittany) to seek out strong sensations, and even after a week of continuous sailing, not a single scratch, nothing but praise... It is extremely pleasant to have a watch that is suitable both in society and in more demanding situations.
