Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I present to you my Orient Mako 2 automatic that I like a lot, it is very comfortable to wear, Orient is a Japanese brand that is a cousin of Seiko, this Orient is blue but it is also available in black or pepsi... the blue dial is magnificent and in the sun it changes color with variations of the most beautiful effect, it is a diving watch with a screw-down crown and an F6922 movement... its diameter is 41.5mm with a thickness of 13mm and a lug width of 22mm... the watch has a power reserve of 40 hours, however the glass is mineral. its price is 280 euros.

This Seiko watch is my second with the Kinetic system. It is a Kinetic quartz movement, the Seiko 5M82 movement without battery having an integrated electricity system, the Kinetic technology draws its energy from the movement of the arm, the crown, located at three o'clock, allows you to set the time and the push button located at 2 o'clock helps to check the power reserve. An example on mine just now I pressed the push button and it scrolled for 20 seconds which tells me that I have autonomy for a month. I really like this Seiko watch because the system is really original and ingenious, plus this watch has a really superb blue dial and it has a nice presence on the wrist, it comes with a steel bracelet but I alternate with a tropical bracelet, I really like Japanese watches and I wear it quite often the dial glass is in Hardlex (reinforced mineral) its diameter is 42.5mm and it is water resistant to 100m, it is not a watch of diving there is no crown aimed.

I present to you the reissue of the famous NB6021 diver's challenge watch from the Citizen manufacturer. The Citizen Fujitsubo nicknamed like that because in 1977 a diver's challenge watch was lost on an Australian beach and a person found it in 1983 on the same beach not far from Sydney completely covered in crustaceans, barnacles (Fujitsubo in Japanese), marine crustaceans which, as adults, attach themselves to rocks and the hulls of boats. And the battered watch was still working 5 years later, I really like this watch in super titanium, a patent filed by Citizen, 5 times harder than steel and half as light, the Duratect process, a real diver in direct competition with the SPB143 62 Mas from Seiko. It is very comfortable to wear with a silicone strap that is supplied with the watch. It has a sapphire crystal and a diameter of 41mm and the famous high-end movement from Citizen, the caliber 9051. Its price is 650 euros.

I present to you my Seiko 5 Suits Style in a different version and that we do not see much, it is sold with the Milanese mesh bracelet stamped Seiko (K1) or with a pretty rubber strap with Seiko pin (K2) ... I really like the Seiko 5 and not long ago Seiko has just released the new Seiko 5 SKX SRPK87K1 which recalls the five models of 1960 ... My Seiko 5 Suits is very pleasant and easy to wear not heavy and pretty with variations in color of the dial depending on where you are ... the diameter is 42.5mm the glass is in Hardlex (reinforced mineral) with ATM at 10 (the crown is not screwed) heir to the SKX but it is no longer a diver.

I present to you my Seiko SKX007 a watch that I acquired a long time ago, this watch was put on the market by the Japanese manufacturer Seiko in 1996 and they withdrew it from sale in 2019. It is a real diver that has proven itself because it is a real tool watch it has the automatic movement 7S26 a caliber renowned for its reliability and robustness it is one of the watches that has been the best-selling by the Tokyo brand, with a special strap to go on the diving suit branded Seiko and the crown is screwed, in the same segment the watch that rivals it is the Citizen NY0040 that I also own because I love divers and this Seiko SKX is legendary and I will never part with it, it has a typical wave bracelet stamped Seiko and which reproduces the bottom of the watch case its diameter is 42mm.

I present to you my Citizen Ice Blue NJ0151-88M that I love, it's my only watch that is not a diver or a chronograph... the model that I present was for a long time only available on the Japanese market but now it is on sale in France, it is an automatic model of 40mm in diameter and 5 ATM... it has a superb color that varies in the light and a pretty integrated bracelet of 3 branches, in short a watch that I like and I find that the Japanese manufacturer Citizen is not recognized in France at its true value while in the USA this manufacturer of the rising sun is a hit... Citizen has iconic models like the Aqualand JP2000 (the big blue 1988) the promaster NY0040 and the Chalenge Diver Futjisubo titanium which has an incredible history hence the name (Bernacle in French) that I also have it is the rival of the SPB143 62 MAS from Seiko and this Tsuyosa Ice Blue (strength) in Japanese is a real hit…

I present to you my Casio Duro Marlin with the marlin on the dial and on the case back, because now and for a long time it is no longer found in this configuration in France and in Europe... I have had this diver for years and apart from changing the battery every three years I have never had a problem I am very attached to it, it is solid and robust and even with the 43mm diameter with its rounded and short horns it does not shock the wrist, it has a screwed crown and its water resistance is 20 ATM

The Casio Duro Marlin

I was looking for a cheap tool watch, and I came across this CASIO by chance. I liked its little diver's watch side, especially since it had been seen on the wrist of Bill Gates. The CASIO MDV-106 MARLIN is a robust watch. Designed for those looking for a perfect blend of style and functionality. Inspired by the marine world, this diver's watch has a timeless design with its 44 mm stainless steel case, a clean dial and a marlin engraved on the caseback, symbolizing its nautical orientation. It offers water resistance up to 200 meters, ideal for water sports enthusiasts or occasional divers. Equipped with a quartz movement, a clear analog display and a unidirectional rotating bezel. Its comfortable resin strap is perfect for everyday use.
