The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I have had a soft spot for the Tissot PR516 for quite some time with its very simple case and its 33/34mm format. This one is doubly appealing because it is mounted on a steel Racing bracelet that is absolutely fantastic in terms of looks but really not comfortable! It doesn't matter - as the other would say - because it is the symbol of racing watches often presented with a bracelet and not the latter. It is an electronic model based on Dynotron... a hybrid caliber with a battery instead of a spring while retaining a balance spring for regulation. Its look is very original, you might think it is a diver's watch... but it is not, no unidirectional bezel or special waterproofness. If you want to spark a watchmaking discussion, you will have more success with this Tissot than with a blockbuster from the market that has been seen and reviewed ;-) Orange is the new black

The fight of the Tissot advert of the time

Looking for a diving watch, I stumbled upon the Concordia collection by chance, while wandering around the internet. A little wary at first because of a rather ordinary design, I discovered a rather enterolithic collection with different models and different calibers. I am sure now that what seduced me was the dial, which is very different from most of the divers that I have been able to compare, such as the BND MN or the Horloscaphe. Indeed, it is not only or not really white but also textured in an original way. Toundra is also a nice name that takes us somewhere other than the endless depths of the oceans! Beautiful finishes, beautiful baby too! I think it would perhaps gain (considering the size of my wrist) from being a little smaller and especially less thick... In conclusion, a watch that does the job and with which I have not encountered any problems for 2 years. Thank you Charlie

<p dir="ltr">(Updated October 2023)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

I received this watch in July 2023. I find it really very pleasant on the wrist. In the sun, the dial with its desert dune color becomes almost haunting; It is a watch that radiates when its indexes and hands perfectly restore the captured light thanks to a high-performance green luminova. Its 38 mm case is perfectly balanced on a small wrist. It is an all-terrain watch, it is robust and resistant to 300 m underwater despite its very contained thickness. This quartz watch features a Seiko system that perfectly imitates the scrolling of an automatic watch second hand. It is a beautiful, functional and pleasant watch to wear. I appreciate being able to easily change the strap thanks to the flash pump system. Bravo to Charlie PARIS who proves that there are other alternatives to buying watches that are much more expensive and much less satisfactory in terms of design quality. For me, it is the watch that joins the two worlds. The world of affordable automatic luxury watches and the world of more functional quartz watches.

A watch. Sober and classy.

Another gift with this Charlie Concordia Toundra very different from my other watch - see my review on the SYE silver chronograph. More robust in appearance as well as in terms of feel, heavier in particular which I appreciate. I had the opportunity to swim with it this summer and it is a strange sensation made of excitement at the idea of not leaving it underwater and worry of seeing it take on water and ruining it. No risk it is waterproof to 300 meters ;-) What I appreciate most in this watch is its strange dial - I understood by reading the brand's website - that it represented the text of the snow... Being a fan of snowboarding it speaks to me. Last but not least, mine has a very nice engraving on the back which no longer seems to be offered by the brand.

Beautiful all-terrain watch

Superb watch, all terrain! Original and elegant but also very robust, I wear it for all my outdoor activities without fear. Despite a weight a little high at first glance, it is ultimately the reflection of an exceptional finish. Favorite for this watch with an unbeatable quality/price ratio.

Original and versatile

Charlie Paris-Concordia South Pole expedition, 2nd edition numbered with STP 1-11 movement. The specifications and the history that gave birth to this great watch are enough to recall the greatest days of Rolex. Designed for a 1150km expedition in the polar cold of Antarctica, it will be able to face all situations while maintaining a certain French elegance that also allows it to be worn during major events. Without a doubt one of my favorites even when faced with much more expensive icons. Don't hesitate, it's a safe bet. A big thank you to Julien from the Remontre YouTube channel for this discovery

One of the best French watches

I have had this Charlie Paris for a few months now and I have to say that of all my watches it is the prettiest ... A very beautiful finish, a perfect size, excellent precision, robust and what can I say about this smoky brown on the edges ... Warm it makes you want to sit in a wooded setting on a Chesterfield in front of a fireplace A glass in hand. A faultless one for me!
