The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

I quickly settled on this iconic model, which needs no introduction. I chose the GMT (as opposed to the Submariner or SD) because it allows you to play dress-up and have several watches in one: two or three inserts, two possible straps... that makes six configurations!

I also chose a five-digit reference for two reasons: the ceramic versions don't suit my wrist well, and the four-digit references can be fragile for everyday wear.

Furthermore, there are several variations of the five-digit model to choose from: tritium, Luminova, serif, sans serif... the choice is vast, depending on individual preferences.

I chose a tritium model with a beautiful eggshell patina... I couldn't resist.
Here it is with the original Coke and Oyster inserts. More variations to come!

A classic that really stands out, and is super customizable.

For some, it's the epitome of bling, showy and ostentatious, but the vast majority of watch enthusiasts agree that this watch is an iconic classic! Without resorting to familiar adjectives, this 5-digit Day-Date represents elegance in an all-gold version for me. This model comes with an onyx dial, which provides a striking contrast to the classic champagne dial. The President bracelet is undoubtedly the Day-Date's defining feature. It also looks beautiful on leather, but it's quite different, certainly more conventional. The 18038 reference (single quick-set) is noticeably thinner than the 18238 (double quick-set) and much less bulky than the latest generation (not to mention the price, of course). In short, if you're looking for a solid, all-gold watch with a history, without spending €40,000, the Day-Date is an excellent choice!

The gold watch of the "Thirty Glorious Years"!!

Here's my little Omega DeVille, with a TV case in the purest 70s style that I love. A simple and efficient manual movement, a perfect 35mm case, and gold plating that makes this watch the perfect companion to dressy outfits, without breaking the bank!
I don't wear it often enough, but it's always a pleasure to put it on!

A deville like you rarely see.

I've finally settled on the Op 36 after a few years of ignoring the brand. I've recently returned to it, not through the back door (many consider the Op a basic entry-level model), but through the mother of all Rolexes! Oyster case, automatic winding...what else?!
Its black dial, 36mm case, and Oyster bracelet make it the perfect everyday watch! So much so that it eclipses all others when you need something simple, versatile, and understated.

That's exactly the image I like to have of the Op: a solid and timeless watch.



Oyster Perpetual: The Quintessence of Rolex

I bought this Speedtimer brand new when it was released at Christmas 2023. JavaScript already owns a Speedtimer, also a limited edition (Crystal Trophy). Everything about this watch is perfect! Size, subdials, color palette...it goes with everything, on steel, leather, NATO strap; it suits it all!
This is the watch I recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful chronograph for under €1000. I wear it very often. I've owned several chronographs: Breitling, Speedmaster, etc., but I haven't yet found a chronograph this nice in this price range...a real success!

My favorite stopwatch!

I bought this Bulova the day I first appeared on the Dialicious channel. It's a vintage model from 1973, the year I was born. The Accutron Spaceview has existed since 1960, but TV sets like this one date from the 70s. A marvel of technology for its time, before the arrival of quartz. It's a tuning fork movement that hums when you hold the watch near your ear... personally, I find it soothing 🤣
I love the historical aspect of the Accutron, and its unique exposed movement!

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Bulova</strong> is an American watch brand founded in <strong>1875</strong> by Joseph Bulova, a Czech immigrant living in New York. Since its creation, the brand has stood out for its spirit of innovation, precision and commitment to quality. Over the decades, Bulova has made watchmaking history with many firsts and continues to influence the industry with iconic designs and advanced technologies.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Bulova's Beginnings</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In 1875, Joseph Bulova opened a small jewelry store on Maiden Lane, New York, specializing in the sale of watches and jewelry. A visionary, he quickly understood the importance of standardization and mass production to meet growing demand. In 1912, he inaugurated a factory dedicated to the manufacture of watches in Bienne, Switzerland, thus laying the foundations for high-quality watch production.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Pioneer of Advertising</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Bulova is also recognized for its innovative approach to marketing. In 1926, the brand broadcast the first radio advertisement, announcing: "At the tone, it's 8 PM, Bulova Watch Time". This bold initiative was followed in 1941 by the very first television commercial, broadcast before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies. These advertising strategies have largely contributed to establishing brand awareness in the United States.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The Accutron Era</h3>
<p dir="ltr">One of Bulova's most significant contributions to watchmaking is the launch of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/accutron">Bulova Accutron</a> in 1960. This revolutionary model was the first electronic tuning fork watch, offering unequaled precision for the time. Thanks to its innovative mechanism, the Accutron is quickly becoming the preferred choice for applications requiring extreme accuracy, notably in NASA space programs. This technology has also been integrated into aircraft and spacecraft instrumentation, demonstrating Bulova's reliability and technological advancement.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Engagement in Space Exploration</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Bulova has played a notable role in the history of space exploration. During the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, astronaut David Scott wore a Bulova chronograph during his extravehicular activities on the Moon. This watch, specially designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space, is today known as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/lunar_pilot"> Bulova Lunar Pilot</a>. In 2016, the brand re-released this iconic model, combining the original design with modern technologies for fans of watchmaking and space history.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Technological Innovations</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond the Accutron, Bulova has constantly innovated to improve the precision and performance of its watches. In 2010, the brand introduced the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/precisionist">Accutron Precisionist</a>, a quartz watch with a crystal vibrating at a frequency of 262 kHz, eight times more than traditional quartz movements. This innovation allows exceptional precision, with a variation of only a few seconds per year, and offers a second hand with fluid movement, imitating the sweep of high-end mechanical watches.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Iconic Designs</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Bulova is also recognized for its distinctive designs that combine aesthetics and functionality.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among the emblematic models, we find the Bulova Computron, launched in 1976, characterized by its digital LED display and futuristic trapezoidal housing. This model was re-released in 2019, testament to its timeless appeal. Additionally, the collection Frank Sinatra, introduced as a tribute to the legendary singer of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/fly_me_to_the_moon">Fly Me To The Moon</a>, reflects the classic style and elegance associated with the artist, with designs named after his famous songs.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Acquisition by Citizen</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In 2008, Bulova was acquired by the Japanese group Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. This strategic union allows Bulova to benefit from the technological advances and resources of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/citizen">Citizen</a>, while retaining its American identity and its heritage rich in innovations. Together, the two brands continue to develop watches that combine tradition and modernity, meeting the expectations of consumers around the world.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Commitment to Quality and Precision</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Since its inception, Bulova has been committed to offering high quality watches, combining precision and durability. The brand has implemented strict manufacturing and quality control standards, ensuring that each piece meets high consumer expectations. This commitment to excellence has allowed Bulova to maintain its reputation and build a loyal global customer base.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h3>
<p dir="ltr">With more than <strong>145 years of history</strong>, Bulova continues to distinguish itself with its spirit of innovation, its commitment to precision and its lasting influence in the world of watchmaking. From its humble beginnings in New York, to its pioneering role in space exploration, to its significant contributions to technological advancements in watchmaking, Bulova remains an iconic brand that combines tradition and modernity, meeting the needs of watch enthusiasts around the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(Updated February 2025)</p>

Did you know that when it was released in 1960, Bulova displayed its Spaceview watches without dials so that customers could observe the mechanism?

Well, it was so popular that they left them that way! 360 hertz, does that ring a bell? It simply means that the tuning fork vibrates 360 times per second… how? Well, the battery sends energy to the coils that surround the two ends of the tuning fork, and the magic happens. The vibrations then set the hands at such a frequency that the seconds hand seems to float, like on a Grand Seiko Spring Drive. The 38mm case, which sits well, comes in multiple case shapes; we're definitely in the heart of the 70s. An American brand, and models that have exceeded Mach 3 and even gone into space…

Oh, I almost forgot, don't bother looking for the crown; it's on the back of the case, and you have to lift the cover to set it.

A trip into space?

<p>La marque&nbsp;<strong>Serica</strong> a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en <strong>2019</strong> par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France. Le nom <strong>Serica</strong> vient d'une r&eacute;gion perdue au bout de l'Extr&ecirc;me-Orient que les Grecs et les Romains avaient baptis&eacute;e ainsi. Ce lieu fait &eacute;cho &agrave; la gen&egrave;se de la marque, qui vise &agrave; concevoir des montres m&eacute;caniques de qualit&eacute; au style n&eacute;or&eacute;tro, pr&ecirc;tes &agrave; vous suivre aux confins du monde.</p>

L'une des particularit&eacute;s de cette marque est que son nom n'appara&icirc;t nulle part sur le cadran, afin de pousser le passionn&eacute; &agrave; acheter un design, des finitions et des proportions, et pas seulement un nom. En juillet 2023, Serica a lanc&eacute; la Serica 5303 COSC une version chronom&egrave;tre certifi&eacute;e par le Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres.</p>

Cette 6190 &eacute;pouse les codes stylistiques de la marque, des anses lyres, un choix de cadrans diff&eacute;rents et la possibilit&eacute; de choisir la position de la couronne &agrave; 3 heures ou en mode "Destro" &agrave; 9 heures. Cette Serica 6190 est &eacute;quip&eacute; du calibre Soprod M100 certifi&eacute; COSC (Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres) &agrave; l'intar des productions actuelles des autres mod&egrave;les 5303 et 8315.&nbsp;</p>
<p>La Serica Parade est quand &agrave; elle une collection audacieuse lanc&eacute;e en novembre 2024...&nbsp;<strong>Une montre habill&eacute;e sortant des sentiers battus nomm&eacute;e "Parade" sous la r&eacute;f&eacute;rence 1174</strong>. Ces 4 chiffres, comme toutes les autres r&eacute;f&eacute;rences Serica, propose une symbolique issue du nombre d'or ou divines proportions dont le ratio entre la longeur et la largeur sont de 1,174... Une montre tr&egrave;s &eacute;l&eacute;gante propos&eacute;e &agrave; 1,490 &euro;.</p>
<p>11 mars 2026 est la date de lancement d'une nouveaut&eacute; attendue par les collectionneurs... Enfin une Serica avec la fonction Date. La <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/5330"><strong>Serica 5330</strong></a> reprend les codes de la 5303 avec de multiples &eacute;volutions esth&eacute;tiques permettant d'int&eacute;grant le guichet date tout en subtilit&eacute;, comme Serica nous en donn&eacute; l'habitude.

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Serica</strong> was created in <strong>2019</strong> by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, <strong>Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC</strong>, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a></strong> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Serica Parade is a bold collection launched in November 2024... <strong>A dress watch that breaks the mold, named &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; and bearing the reference number 1174</strong>. These four digits, like all other Serica reference numbers, embody the symbolism of the golden ratio&mdash;or divine proportions&mdash;where the ratio of length to width is 1.174... A very elegant watch priced at &euro;1,490.</p>
<p>March 11, 2026, marks the launch date of a new model eagerly awaited by collectors... Finally, a Serica with a date function. The <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5330"><strong>Serica 5330</strong></a> builds on the design of the 5303 with numerous aesthetic updates that allow for the date window to be seamlessly integrated, as we&rsquo;ve come to expect from Serica. Be patient&mdash;pre-orders have just opened for a first shipment scheduled for early May 2026, priced at &euro;1,690.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. <strong>Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes</strong>. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.</p>
