The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

As a GMT and "tool" watch enthusiast, I was initially going for an Explorer II, and I was also able to try the 226570 at the same time as the Black Bay Pro (BB Pro)! Despite the availability of the Rolex, I only had eyes for the crown keeper.
I appreciate this BB Pro first and foremost for its bezel, whose satin finish is very beautifully crafted. This bezel highlights a matte dial that oscillates between anthracite gray and black. It highlights studs made of a kind of ceramic and well-integrated snowflake hands. Obviously, the orange-yellow GMT hand energizes the design without overdoing it. The cream shade of the studs and hands brings a slightly vintage touch. Visibility is excellent during the day and the luminova is super powerful. Everything is enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal that gives beautiful distortions.
The bracelet would have been more elegant without its rivets, but it is very comfortable! The "on the fly" adjustment system of the clasp of this BB pro is amazingly simple and effective. Besides, I like to change my strap regularly, I never considered it for this BB Pro.
It is not a thin watch, I grant you, but when worn it is not shocking, especially thanks to harmonious proportions, a contained diameter of 39mm and an oversized signed crown; finally a mirror polish on the edge and fine chamfers finish off lightening the whole. She is an adventurer, she likes military shirts with rolled up sleeves; rest assured, a simple swimsuit is enough for her because she also enjoys swimming with its 200m water resistance.
The "true GMT" caliber MT5652 (COSC) is very precise and easy to use.
Ultimately, this BB pro is an efficient and comfortable watch that makes me smile every time I see that GMT hand set to the time zone of a city where I've had so many great times.

A GMT armed for adventure!

The Explorer, you either love it or you don't pay any attention to it, it's up to you...
For my part, this Explorer is a watch that has spoken to me for years. Here, it is the reference 124270, a version that combines heritage and modernity. Indeed, we find the classic deep black dial, the Mercedes hand and the famous 3-6-9-triangle. This Rolex has managed to keep "vintage" proportions with a historic diameter of 36mm and a visually very successful brushed oyster bracelet thanks to an "old-fashioned taper" from 19 to 14 mm. The fine links and an extension allowing you to easily gain a few millimeters in case of extreme heat make this bracelet very comfortable. Without a chamfer, the case with slightly curved sides is topped with a beveled bezel that slightly overflows onto the bracelet, which gives the whole thing a beautiful presence.
The daytime readability is excellent whatever the reading angle, thanks in particular to the faceted indexes and hands; the luminova makes the pleasure last all night long.
Light, thin and waterproof, this watch is easy to wear in all situations.
Celebrating a significant moment in my life, its name resonates with me and reminds me every day how urgent it is to explore the rest of one's life.

Explore: To the summits and beyond!

The spirit range with date window at 3 o'clock didn't appeal to me, but this 37mm version, window at 6 o'clock, with its contained dimensions caught my attention as soon as it came out. I chose this champagne sunray dial (supposedly for women) whose appearance varies from light gold to silver depending on the light. The finishes are of excellent quality, a mixture of brushed steel and polished chamfer, the engraved crown controls a COSC-certified ETA A31.L11 movement. Mounted on a very comfortable bracelet and equipped with a "quick release" system, it looks sporty but a change of bracelet transforms the watch for a sometimes heritage and sometimes dressy look. I am reducing the quality/price ratio rating following the increase of €260 in 6 months, which is totally unjustified!

Spirit 37mm, it has everything a big one has!

Stealthy like the S617 and as black as the black pearl, this 5303 has charm. Its atypical design is inspired by great achievements (Seamaster 300), yet it seems unique. The finish is excellent. The Soprod Newton movement is precise (-2 to -4s/d). The only downside is the handling of the crown which could be improved.

Serica 5303: From the Bold to the Black Pearl

The Serica 4512 Commando or how to make a "field watch" exciting!
This is a discreet and efficient watch but one that does not lack character. Its case is simply brushed but its large bezel - brushed vertically and with a polished chamfer - gives presence to this watch with very contained dimensions (diameter: 38 mm and horn-to-horn: 46 mm). Simple, contrasting and symmetrical, its deep black dial is a success. I particularly appreciate the typology adopted, the elongation of the markers at each hour and the deformation created by the sapphire crystal. A fan of "broad arrow" hands, those of this Serica are brushed and generously filled with Luminova ensuring optimal reading whatever the light. The manual Soprod P24 mechanism that powers this watch is a model of precision. The generously sized screw-down crown ensures pleasant winding and contributes to the water resistance of the watch announced at 200m. I naturally associate this 4512 with NATOs but its original bonklip-type strap is very comfortable and allows for a change from the military register. What is the little detail that I prefer on this watch? Its bezel certainly contributes to the charm of this piece but what I prefer is this magical moment when the sharp minute hand is superimposed on the hour hand, the whole thing then takes the shape of a fighter plane that systematically makes me dream (see the photo)! In 2023, Rambo would surely go on a mission with a G-Shock but it would not have the charm of this 4512 Commando!

4512, a revisited commando!

The GW-5000U is designed in the spirit of the first G-Shocks - that's how I like them - but it has modern features like solar charging or multi-band. A more high-end version than the 5600s, it is made in Japan; it benefits from a high-quality resin and a very appreciable screwed back. The famous "shock resist" logo underlined in red gives it that little retro side of the first G-Shocks. Comfort is there but you will need nails or sharp fingers to manipulate the pushers. The contrast is excellent (even with polarized glasses) and the LED lighting is very effective.

It is a purist's G-Shock that will accompany me everywhere that the other watches in my collection cannot accompany me without fear.

G-Shock GW-5000U: authentically modern!

Here is a little bomb from 1979: a Citizen Seven Star Quartz. 
The star here is above all the sunburst and smoked dial whose emerald color is simply hypnotic. The dial is enhanced by slightly raised two-tone indexes giving relief to the whole. 
The thin hands match the indexes perfectly. A sign of a typically Japanese attention to detail, the second hand aligns perfectly with the sub-indexes. 
The 70s-style case is small; this is why this watch is mainly worn by my wife who had to swap the original strap - although very comfortable - for a leather strap in her size. 
Finally, the use of Kanji makes this daydate an exotic watch for our countries. Despite its age, this little Citizen is elegant and original, you will have understood: we love it!

A hypnotic Citizen!

Here is a watch without any pretension, except that of reviving the memory of a loved one who left too soon!
Resurrected after a rediscovery and cleaning, this Nappey Besançon from the 80s in 33 mm is powered by a Swiss quartz movement and has the look of an oysterquartz Rolex. Generally hostile to two-tone, I am nevertheless seduced by this model whose gold plating has patinated to the point of disappearing in places. Never mind the spots of oxidation visible here and there, because the sharp shape of its case, its comfortable bracelet and its perfectly preserved dial make it a vintage watch with a modern look. I am happy that the story of this “men’s” watch continues most of the time on my wife’s wrist.

A souvenir watch with a modern look!

G-Shock is a Casio watch line born in 1983 in Japan, conceived by engineer Kikuo Ibe with a radical brief: to build a virtually indestructible digital watch for real-world use &mdash; from daily life to extreme environments &mdash; and to express a utilitarian aesthetic language of bold geometry, resin or metal cases, and digital/analog readouts that has become a global reference for athletes, field professionals, and street culture.
<h3>1983 origins: Kikuo Ibe, the &ldquo;Triple 10&rdquo; rule and the first G-Shock DW-5000C</h3>
In the early 1980s, Casio&rsquo;s &ldquo;Project Team Tough&rdquo; codified a durability philosophy called &ldquo;Triple 10&rdquo;: 10-year battery life, 10-bar water resistance, and shock resistance to a 10-meter drop; in 1983, the G-Shock DW-5000C debuted with a floating module in a cushioned structure and an octagonal case that would define the &ldquo;Origin&rdquo; (5000/5600 line). &ldquo;Triple 10&rdquo; was not a slogan but a design specification: internal damping, controlled thickness, protected pushers, robust steel backs, and bands engineered to endure torsion and vibration; that foundation enabled decades of added functions (radio time, solar, Bluetooth), new architectures (carbon-reinforced resin, steel, titanium), and a visual vocabulary instantly recognizable worldwide &mdash; which is why the Triple 10 still underpins G-Shock&rsquo;s clarity and durability today.
<h3>&ldquo;Master of G&rdquo;: G-Shock Frogman, G-Shock Mudman, G-Shock Rangeman, G-Shock Gravitymaster, G-Shock Gulfmaster</h3>
&ldquo;Master of G&rdquo; labels specialist G-Shocks for sea, mud, air, or all-terrain duty: the G-Shock Frogman (1993) brought ISO 6425 &ldquo;Diver&rsquo;s 200 m&rdquo; certification into the lineup; the G-Shock Mudman adds dust/mud resistance for rally and backcountry use; the G-Shock Rangeman (GW-9400) packs triple sensors (altimeter/barometer, compass, thermometer); and G-Shock Gravitymaster and G-Shock Gulfmaster target aviation and marine environments with tailored sensor/display sets. The point is not box-ticking but fulfilling a mission &mdash; diving, desert, cockpit, deck &mdash; via instrument-grade specs, yielding functional, sometimes asymmetric, forms and glove-friendly ergonomics; in short, Master of G prioritizes job-ready information over ornament from the outset.
<ul>
<li>G-Shock Frogman &mdash; ISO Diver&rsquo;s 200 m, asymmetric architecture, modern analog variants (e.g., GWF-A1000); professional tool.</li>
<li>G-Shock Mudman &mdash; Mud/dust sealing, stout cases, oversized pushers; rally/outdoor focus.</li>
<li>G-Shock Rangeman &mdash; Triple Sensor (direction/pressure/temperature), log functions; all-terrain.</li>
<li>G-Shock Gravitymaster &mdash; Aviation displays/materials, high-contrast indexes; cockpit legibility.</li>
<li>G-Shock Gulfmaster &mdash; Marine readouts (tide/pressure), combined displays for coastal navigation.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Core technologies: Carbon Core Guard, Tough Solar, Multiband 6 and Bluetooth</h3>
Modern G-Shocks leverage a &ldquo;Carbon Core Guard&rdquo; chassis &mdash; a carbon-fiber-reinforced resin case that stiffens and lightens the structure, improves module protection, and enables slimmer profiles (notably in the 2100 series); &ldquo;Tough Solar&rdquo; recharges an accumulator from ambient light; &ldquo;Multiband 6&rdquo; auto-corrects time via radio signals from six global transmitters; and Bluetooth links the watch to a smartphone for auto timekeeping, settings, and convenience features. The common aim isn&rsquo;t gadgetry but reliable time and service day in, day out &mdash; which is why the carbon + solar + radio/Bluetooth combo seeks more autonomy, accuracy, and ease of ownership.
<h3>Iconic lines and best-sellers: 5000/5600 &ldquo;Origin,&rdquo; 2100 &ldquo;CasiOak,&rdquo; Full Metal, G-Steel, MT-G &amp; MR-G</h3>
The 5000/5600 family carries the rectangular original; the 2100 &mdash; nicknamed &ldquo;CasiOak&rdquo; &mdash; recasts that DNA into a minimalist octagonal analog-digital format that wears slim and easy; &ldquo;Full Metal&rdquo; (e.g., GMW-B5000) reimagines the Origin in all-metal, G-Steel mixes metal and resin for dressier heft, and MT-G (metal-twisted) and MR-G top the range (steel/titanium, advanced finishing, MR-G built on Yamagata&rsquo;s Premium Production Line). Beyond materials, these families map neatly to use-cases and budgets while preserving legibility, toughness, and G-Shock codes &mdash; hence why the GA-2100/GA-B2100 &ldquo;CasiOak&rdquo; crystallized a thin, featherweight, universal G-Shock without losing the signature.
<ul>
<li>G-Shock DW-5600 &mdash; Direct heir to DW-5000C; rectangular &ldquo;Origin,&rdquo; ultra-legible and compact.</li>
<li>G-Shock GA-2100 / G-Shock GA-B2100 &mdash; Octagonal &ldquo;CasiOak,&rdquo; Carbon Core Guard; Bluetooth/solar options.</li>
<li>G-Shock GMW-B5000 &mdash; Full-metal Origin; steel or titanium, radio/Bluetooth/solar.</li>
<li>G-Shock G-Steel &mdash; Metal/resin hybrid with a dressier vibe; steel or resin straps.</li>
<li>G-Shock MT-G &mdash; Metal-Twisted; advanced Core Guard structures, Bluetooth/Multiband 6.</li>
<li>G-Shock MR-G &mdash; Titanium flagship, hard coatings, Japanese artisanal finishing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Positioning, pricing and channels: from entry to Japan-made premium</h3>
The price spectrum runs wide: &ldquo;Origin&rdquo; and select 2100s target accessibility; &ldquo;Master of G&rdquo; steps up with sensors and purpose-built cases; then MT-G and especially MR-G assume fully premium roles (steel/titanium, hard coatings, elevated assembly, Yamagata workshops). Global distribution blends <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/casio">Casio</a> e-commerce with retail partners, and limited editions roll out regionally; more than &ldquo;positioning,&rdquo; it&rsquo;s the mission logic that guides selection (city, sea, aviation, outdoors) in a clearly structured catalog &mdash; so the matrix lets you choose function/aesthetic first, then material/finishing tier.
<h3>Collaborations, pop culture and communities: NASA, BAPE, KITH and the street</h3>
G-Shock&rsquo;s cultural reach owes much to collaborations (NASA, BAPE, streetwear collectives, influential retailers) and its adoption by hip-hop and skate scenes since the 1990s&ndash;2000s; the G-Shock DW-5600 NASA (2020) popularized an all-white &ldquo;worm&rdquo; logo look, while repeated BAPE tie-ups and projects with outlets like KITH keep community ties fresh; these sit alongside anniversary pieces (40th) and the product&rsquo;s inherent &ldquo;urban utility&rdquo; (toughness/value/style), yielding rare longevity and less volatile trend cycles &mdash; in effect, the watch became a cultural signal as well as a tool, without ceasing to be an instrument first.
<h3>Buying guide: use, size, power and functions to pick the right G-Shock</h3>
Start with mission (minimalist daily, sea sports, hiking, cockpit), then size/thickness (compact rectangular Origin vs bolder Master of G), then power and accuracy (battery vs solar, radio/Bluetooth). Slim wrists gravitate to 5600/5000 or 2100; &ldquo;instrument&rdquo; needs point to Master of G; metal preference suggests Full Metal/G-Steel/MT-G/MR-G. Best practice: check legibility, strap comfort and local service options; remember that the right G-Shock is the one that serves your use and constraints first, not the longest spec sheet.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Four decades on, G-Shock remains a tool benchmark: cushioned architecture, clear displays, autonomous accuracy, and clearly tiered families from discreet daily (5600/2100) to specialized environments (Master of G) up to luxury (MT-G/MR-G). If you want an &ldquo;iconic first,&rdquo; the 5600/5000 Origin is the obvious start; for a contemporary, ultra-wearable shape, pick the 2100; for hard duty, look to Frogman, Mudman or Rangeman; and for metal and finishing, MT-G/MR-G clarify the premium step.

Casio g-shock GW-M5600 from 2008... how to talk about it? How to describe it? Bought new 15 years ago, it hasn't changed. It accompanied me to the ends of the earth... always on time, waterproof and many other things. You put it down in the evening, it goes into standby mode and, in the morning, it wakes up at first light... radio controlled in addition... the only concession at the time, its plastic manufacturing material, less comfortable than the current one. It seems that it is a "must have", I am willing to believe it.

Wow!!!

Casio g-shock GW-5000U...I've had it for 3 days but I can't help but give my opinion because I know it so well. It's the same solar module as my GW-M5600. Its construction material is flexible and soft. The price of 300 euros is justified by its manufacture in Japan which out of the box is great! Indeed it was on time and date in Tokyo! The size is contained. Heavier than my two other models presented. A great choice. Oh yes it has bluetooth, gadget....

No words...

We can say that watches are professional, that they are made to explore the seabed, climb Everest or go to the moon, but personally when I buy one for several thousand Euros I don't even go swimming with it! I can be booed but hey that's my way of seeing things and my way of preserving my pieces. Each acquisition has been the subject of an often long journey accompanied by a few deprivations and deserves a little respect. In short, for each activity that is even slightly risky, I preferred not to wear a watch rather than risk damaging one.

Shortly before leaving for a ski trip, I remembered the hassle of the previous year every time I wanted to know the time. You open your jacket because you don't have an outside pocket, so on the chairlift you freeze them. Your fingers are frozen and you risk dropping your poles at best, or your glove or your phone at worst. In the end, you finally manage to see the time but also an email from work that ends up ruining the rest of your week.

So my new watchmaking quest was born: that of a (real) tool watch with the criteria of a contained size (to fit under your ski jacket :-) and a reasonable price so as not to be afraid of damaging it. In reality, the quest was not long, I turned directly to the G-Shock. The choice is plentiful, they are generally quite imposing, the models have references to lay outside, it is not always easy to find your way around... But hey, with perseverance, I (re)discovered the GW-M5610U, it was it and no other.

No time to wait, a little Prime and the package was delivered the next day. When I unpacked it, I was propelled into the DeLorean at 88 MPH to find myself directly in my middle school in 5th B. Honestly, what a joy! It really smells of the 80s with its digital display, its characteristic shape, its little indications everywhere. No need to read the technical sheet, everything is marked on the dial or the bottom! Its size is really great, super small, quite thin, really ideal for me. I felt even younger when I rediscovered the little beep each time a button is pressed, I can no longer stop myself from starting and restarting a stopwatch and resetting it. But the highlight of the show, the cherry on the cake, the finale of the fireworks, is the blue backlighting each time you flip your wrist to check the time in the dark! My God, I love it, a real joy! It has other advantages with its automatic time setting and solar charging. And honestly, for a hundred euros, isn't it crazy? When you see the price today of my K-Way from the summer camp days...

You'll have understood that I love it. It's not the one I wear the most, but what a smile every time I take it out of the box! In my opinion, each collection should have at least 2 watches, including a GW-M5610U (at least for the collections of nostalgic forty-somethings :-).

For nostalgic forty-somethings

I have been a G-shock fan for a long time, like since 1998! As soon as I got my first job, while taking the Parisian metro, I stopped at a CASIO stand to buy myself my first G-shock. I still have it, by the way. It is in a bad state from wearing it so much. But the story was on its way, not the big story but the little personal story with watchmaking. Before that, I had a few watches, Yema watches, CASIO swatches. But there I chose something that gave me strong emotions. Since then, I have had dozens of G-shocks. At all prices, in all colors, in all shapes. And I constantly alternated between Swiss watches and G-shocks depending on the moment and the conditions. And then recently I went back to the New York and Paris G-shocks one after the other and I rediscovered the legendary 1983 model! The famous black rectangular one. And I fell for this little €100 watch that I proudly wear on my wrist! And which attracts as many comments from watch enthusiasts as a Navitimer, yes yes. In short, G-Shock is fun, it’s timeless and unwavering. It’s pure genius. I love it.

Legendary for 40 years!

Light watch, cheap, robust, not too big for a G-Shock, discreet and efficient, it goes everywhere and in addition solar so you can have fun with all the functions even the light and will not be bothered by a battery change too quickly. If ever I do not know what awaits me during the day I choose it.

When in doubt, there is no doubt!

The indestructible watch! With its design straight out of the 80s, the G-shock is a must-have for any collector. It offers all the features with alarm, chrono, date display… with a cool look, incredible comfort and a really affordable price! It will follow you on all your adventures and no one is ever disappointed to get a G-Shock. A piece of watchmaking history on the wrist!

Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U-1ER

I have owned the Gshock GW7900 1st for over 4 years and I am VERY satisfied with it. A true bodyguard for my automatic watches, it dresses my wrist for all situations that pose a risk to our beautiful (fragile) watches. Equipped with a battery recharged by the sun, it sets the time automatically by radio frequency. It displays the moon phases, tide coefficients and of course all the other classic features of a gShock: stopwatch ... of unfailing solidity: my wrist will break before this watch! An excellent substitute for those who love watches but want to protect their mechanical timepieces from extreme situations

My G-Shock is muscular

La marque&nbsp;Serica a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2019 par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France.

(Mise &agrave; jour Novembre 2024)

The brand Serica was created in 2019 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.
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, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> 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;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. 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.
Serica is independent and produces around 5,000 watches per year, all models combined.
