The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

Hello, after selling my Rolex GMT2 (bought in '89, sold in 2010), following research and comparison between a Rolex (a safe investment for resale) and a more discreet but elegant Omega, I bought an Omega Planet Ocean with an orange crocodile strap in 2010!

I wore it daily to work and even went diving to depths of over 40 meters (I'm a diving instructor).

Here's a brief introduction; I've just changed it to a blue-orange rubber strap.

Omega planet ocean 600m

<p dir="ltr">Founded in <strong>1848</strong>, <strong>Omega</strong> is one of the oldest and most respected brand in the industry. The story of Omega is punctuated by innovations, technological achievements and a constant quest for precision. Steeped in exploration and adventure and closely associated with the conquest of the Moon, the brand has left an indelible mark on global watchmaking.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Omega brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, a young man named Louis Brandt opened a watch assembly workshop. Using parts from various local artisans, he builds and sells his watches throughout Europe. These first watches simply bore his name, but it was the beginning of what would become a global brand. After his death in 1879, his sons took over the business and introduced revolutionary manufacturing techniques. In 1894, <strong>a new caliber for pocket watches was introduced, named "Omega"</strong>, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in watchmaking. It was so successful that the company would later adopt the name as a brand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The conquest of precision (1900-1940)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 20th century saw Omega rise as a dominant force in the field of watchmaking precision. In 1931, Omega watches won all the prizes during chronometry tests at the Geneva Observatory. This quest for precision led the brand to be chosen as <strong>official timekeeper of the Olympic Games from 1932</strong>, a title it still holds today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Innovations et exploits (1940-1970)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">During and after World War II, Omega supplied watches to the British armed forces, cementing its reputation for reliability and durability. It was also at this time that the Seamaster was launched, a waterproof watch designed to withstand the most difficult conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These thirty glorious years saw the launch of the Omega Seamaster in 1948 and the Omega Constellation in 1952. But it was the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957, which stood out the most. In 1965, <strong>it was officially chosen by NASA to accompany astronauts on space missions</strong>, and in 1969, it became the first watch worn on the moon, earning the nickname "Moonwatch".</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The dark years (1970-2000)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Faced with the rise of Japanese quartz watches, Omega is fighting to maintain its position. The brand launches <strong>its own quartz watch, the "Marine Chronometer"</strong>, which is recognized as one of the most precise quartz watches ever produced. Omega, like the entire Swiss watch industry, is very impacted by this new competition from Japan and must significantly reduce its workforce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 90s saw a resurgence of interest in luxury mechanical watches, and Omega, with its classic models and innovations, such as the co-axial movement, remained at the forefront.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The new millennium (2000 to the present)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 21st century sees Omega go from strength to strength with famous collaborations and ambassadors, such as James Bond and actor Daniel Craig. Innovative technologies, such as movements resistant to magnetic fields and the use of materials such as ceramic, demonstrate the brand's desire to combine tradition and modernity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Omega brand?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster">Omega Speedmaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Speedmaster collection is one of the most iconic and recognized watch ranges in the world. Launched in 1957, the Speedmaster was initially designed to meet the needs of motorsport professionals, with its distinctive tachometer for measuring speed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is best known for its role in space exploration. In 1965, after rigorous testing, NASA selected the Speedmaster as its official watch for all manned missions. It was worn during the first lunar landing in 1969 by astronaut Buzz Aldrin and has since been nicknamed "<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster_moonwatch">Moonwatch</a>".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from its space pedigree, the Speedmaster is also appreciated for its timeless design and robust mechanics. Over the years, Omega has introduced many variations of the Speedmaster such as the Omega Speedmaster Mark II, Mark III or Omega Speedmaster 38. It is often considered a must-have watch for collectors and watch enthusiasts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster">Omega Seamaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Seamaster collection, introduced in 1948, is one of the oldest and most popular luxury watches. Originally designed as a dive watch, it combines robust functionality with elegant design. <strong>Water resistance and durability have been key features</strong> of the Seamaster from its inception. Over time, this collection has evolved, encompassing a diverse range of models from professional diving watches to sophisticated pieces suitable for formal occasions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A notable turning point for the Seamaster was its association with James Bond. Since 1995, with the film "GoldenEye", James Bond has worn a Seamaster in almost all of his films, cementing his status as a cultural icon.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The different variants, such as<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_300m"> Seamaster Diver 300M</a>, the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean or the PLOPROF show the adaptability of the collection to various needs and aesthetic preferences. Each watch is a reflection of Omega's watchmaking expertise and commitment to quality and innovation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_planet_ocean_600m_co-axial_master_chronometer">Omega Planet Ocean</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, first introduced in 2005, is a modern homage to Omega's rich maritime heritage. These watches are true diving instruments, offering water resistance of up to 60 ATM. They often feature ceramic bezels, dials with luminescent indexes, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_aqua_terra">Omega Aqua Terra</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Aqua Terra is another illustrious member of the Seamaster family, launched in the early 2000s. With its aesthetic inspired by the wooden decks of luxury yachts, the Aqua Terra is a perfect mix between a dive watch and a dress watch. It is water resistant to 150 meters and is equally suited to a day at the office or a trip to the sea. The Aqua Terra has also been a showcase for some of Omega's most recent innovations, including co-axial movement and improved resistance to magnetic fields, making these watches some of the most reliable and precise timepieces available.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These two models, like the previous ones, reflect Omega's ongoing commitment to combining technical innovation with timeless design. They embody all the diversity of the Seamaster collection.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/constellation">Omega Constellation</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Constellation collection, introduced in 1952, is the <strong>symbol of excellence in watchmaking and design</strong>. Known for its timeless elegance, the Constellation is a demonstration of Omega's expertise in precision and craftsmanship. Distinctive for its unique claws on the case, which were originally intended to ensure the water resistance of the watch, it has become one of the characteristic features of the Constellation design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over time, Omega has continued to innovate within this collection, introducing new movements, designs and materials, while maintaining the distinctive character and elegance of the Constellation. The range has branched out to include models for men and women, offering a variety of sizes, dials and straps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/de_ville">Omega De Ville</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Omega De Ville collection is a reflection of refinement and urban elegance</strong> within Omega's extensive portfolio. Introduced in the 1960s, the De Ville was created as a more dressy and contemporary line, distinguishing itself from the brand's sports and diving watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, the De Ville has been synonymous with sophistication and technical innovation. While preserving a classic design, it has often been the testing ground for Omega's new watchmaking technologies, such as reducing the complexity of movement components or the introduction of Co-Axial movements.&nbsp;With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, the De Ville collection is perfect for a professional setting or formal occasions. It includes several sub-collections, including the famous Hour Vision, Ladymatic and Tresor, each bringing its own touch of distinction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sophistication and simplicity. Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, the De Ville is elegant while being technically impressive. Co-Axial movements and varied designs, ranging from simple models to complications like the tourbillon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/geneve">Omega Geneva</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the 1950s and into the 1970s, the name &ldquo;Geneva&rdquo; was associated with the Omega watch line intended <strong>to honor the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, Geneva</strong>. This range was meant to reflect the high quality standards for which the city was known. The Geneva model was finally integrated into the DeVille collection. Featuring a sober and elegant design, the Omega Gen&egrave;ve was appreciated for its versatility, being both a dress watch and suitable for everyday use and positioned at that time as an entry-level Omega.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/dynamic">Omega Dynamic</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">First launched in 1967, the Omega Dynamic is a distinctive model with a very '70s design. Initially designed as a watch for the younger generation, it had an elliptical case shape and colorful dials, reflecting the bold aesthetic of the era. Later, in the 1990s, the Dynamic was relaunched with a very different design inspired by pilot watches, under the name Omega Dynamic III.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Seamaster Omegamatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Combining the precision of quartz with the autonomy of an automatic watch, the Omegamatic, launched in the 1990s, is a hybrid auto-quartz watch. It uses a rotor, similar to that of automatic watches, to charge a battery which powers a quartz movement, thus providing exceptional precision while retaining certain mechanical elements.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Polaris</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Introduced in the 1980s, the Omega Polaris collection is remarkable for its unique design combining stainless steel and gold, often in a surprising so-called "two-tone" construction. These watches were equipped with quartz movements and equipped with complications, such as alarms or chronographs Their geometric aesthetic and multi-layered design made them immediately recognizable and accessible at low prices on the vintage market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each of these models brings a unique touch to the rich history of the Omega house, demonstrating its ability to innovate and adapt to changing watchmaking trends while remaining true to its roots of quality and precision.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does an Omega watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for Omega watches change every year, but <strong>most Omega models cost between $3,500 and $40,000</strong>. An Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer costs $3,500 while an Omega Speedmaster in yellow gold Sedna costs $45,800. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at buying an Omega potentially cheaper than new.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Omega: Eclectic models for all tastes&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The story of Omega is one of a relentless quest for precision, innovation and excellence. From its humble beginnings in a small Swiss workshop to its presence on the moon, in the depths of the ocean and on the Olympic slopes, <strong>Omega has demonstrated its watchmaking mastery time</strong> and again. As a pioneer, innovator and explorer, Omega continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury watchmaking. Omega stands out for its fusion of styles, performance and history. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean, timing Olympic athletes, or accompanying astronauts into space, Omega has proven its excellence time and time again.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated December 2023)</p>

The Omega of my youth, the one that was one of the watches that made me fantasize and that I couldn't afford at the time. But that I never forgot. The Planet Ocean reference 2209.50.00, launched in 2005 in its orange livery, 42mm. Orange, this color that marked me and that I love on divers. Generous dimensions but nevertheless contained in this Seamaster Planet Ocean that I prefer to the classic Seamaster model, with a more dated design I find. Lyre faceted horns, a fabulous dial, readable, sporty and elegant at the same time. I particularly like this matte black dial, the applied Omega logo, the super luminova trapezoidal indexes and the orange 12/6/9 numerals. Not to mention the hands and a second hand with exceptional execution and design. A model of balance, impeccable finishes. Nothing is too much on this resolutely professional diver. And this satin steel bracelet that I was going to forget, a remarkable robustness and comfort, very nicely designed. A flawless design with a softer design than the current models, more aggressive and angular.

Planet Ocean Orange 2209.50.00

This watch is very emblematic in my eyes. It was given to me for my 30th birthday. This watch symbolizes for me my passage into adulthood. It is also the first Swiss manufacture watch in my collection. At the time, I was very new to mechanical watches. I had chosen to take an Omega watch for the reputation and recognized qualities of the Omega brand. I did not feel comfortable wearing a Rolex on my wrist at the time (this is still the case).
I hesitated a lot with the Speedmaster MoonWatch. The criteria that made me switch were the automatic caliber, the water resistance of a diver and also most certainly Daniel Craig with the 007 marketing.
Today, I continue to appreciate and wear this watch very regularly. It remains the most imposing watch in my collection. Its 42 mm case remains very pleasant. It has the same dimensions as that of the Speedmaster with a more imposing thickness (14.5 mm). At the same time, nothing abnormal for a 600 meter diver!!!
I wore this watch for a long time with the original steel bracelet. Now, I prefer wearing it on leather bracelets or nato (single pass). It makes it much thinner on my wrist and especially less heavy (191g with the metal bracelet).
Despite these twelve years, it remains as precise as ever and remains well within the COSC criteria with its Co-Axial Omega 2500 caliber. It has only had one revision since its purchase.
The luminosity of the indexes and hands is still there.

A great Omega diver

Am I a fan of Omega or the James Bond saga during the Daniel Craig era, especially Casino Royale? Obviously both. And it may seem hard to believe, but I discovered Omega and 007 at the same time, watching the film in... 2016.

Despite my lack of knowledge about watches (I only knew Swatch, Rolex, and Seiko at the time), the particularly clever product placement in the film and its effect on me aroused a real curiosity for Omega.

So I explored the websites discussing Omega in Casino Royale and the other films from the Craig era. The articles were already very well documented in 2016, because since the first installment, there have been websites, forums, and videos discussing all objects related to the films.

I then discovered the Omega references featured in the films: the Seamaster 300 from Spectre, the Seamaster Diver 300M, the Planet Ocean, the Aqua Terra... Being a lover of beautiful objects with a certain aesthetic sense (which my taste for clothing already betrays), I was completely blown away: I discovered the beauty of these watches, the significance of the mechanism, the complications, the finishes, the subtleties of which I tried as best I could to grasp.

By discovering Omega, I now knew I wanted a prestigious watch... but which one? And how?

For a first watch, I wanted it to embody everything.

It must have the function of an accessory. In my opinion, an accessory is not a piece of jewelry, but an object that can reflect a certain preciousness. In a quest for aesthetics through clothing, the accessory must confirm the stylistic message, amplify it, or, failing that, contrast elegantly with it. My style, which has heritage, workwear, and military connotations, and being a fan of Japanese materials, seemed to me to lack versatility in a dress watch. The "elegant toolwatch" seemed like the best option.
The finishing touches had to be perfect, sophisticated without being overly original, as this was my first watch (not a worldtimer, for example). The mechanism itself had to convey modernity, creativity, and efficiency that was pleasant for everyday use.

Not wanting to be a snob, I discovered other brands in physical stores: Longines, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Rolex, Seiko, Cartier, etc. But despite a real effort to "think against myself," it was Omega that truly caught my attention and caused a deep thrill: modernity, finishing, aesthetics, mechanism... everything seemed to resonate with me. And so much the better, because I wanted a strong connection with Casino Royale, which struck me with its accuracy, its spirit of adventure and (re)birth, with which I fully identify.

When I entered Omega, three models struck me: the Planet Ocean, the Seamaster 300M, and the Diver 300. I visited the boutique in 2016, and a year later, I finally purchased the Diver 300 from an authorized dealer. Why? Because it harked back to Casino Royale (the scenes in the Casino) while being a diver (adventurer) and "the least expensive." It was a gateway to the Omega universe, in a way. However, I remember feeling some frustrations: I already found the Planet Ocean to have a more modern look, even though I really liked the dial of the Seamaster Diver 300M (ref. 212.30.41.20.03.001), the one I bought. Its rather low power reserve (24 hours) proved difficult to use on a daily basis. It didn't have a transparent caseback, and its bracelet looked outdated compared to the PO's. There was already talk of a Liquidmetal bezel, and the caliber 2500 of my Diver seemed dated compared to the PO's. But the price and diameter of the latter had put me off.

The Planet Ocean "bug," however, was already in me.

Six years later, I sold my Diver (with a slight capital gain) for various reasons. There was a touch of regret, but fate left me no choice. I promised myself that one day, I would buy a new Omega, combining everything the first one lacked.

That day will come in 2025. I know, you might be thinking, I still haven't mentioned the PO. But in reality, that's all I've talked about: this whole process makes me particularly sensitive to the choice of this watch. I'm omitting several fundamental steps, but let's move on!

My aesthetic tastes haven't changed, nor the purpose a watch should fulfill. However, they are now more assertive, and my budget is a little more flexible. I want a more rugged, more masculine, more toolwatch-like watch, but with details that exude understated luxury. This time, I'm ready to buy a Planet Ocean. But which one?

The classic blue or black models are sublime, but too "shiny." After testing them in 2024, I discarded them. And then, I came across a new gray Planet Ocean, which I tried on in a store: absolute love at first sight.

– The modernity of the caliber 8900, the ability to see the mechanism and the anchor
– The Omega seahorse on the transparent caseback, a strong aesthetic choice that preserves transparency while affirming the watch's symbolic identity
– The rubber strap: exceptional. No discomfort like on the Diver 300 as soon as the heat rises. Precise fit, flexibility, comfort: a real change.
– Aesthetically, this strap is very successful. Its textured appearance is sophisticated without sacrificing its sporty look. The stitching is reminiscent of vegetable-tanned leather straps, in keeping with my style. This was clearly an upgrade from the Casino Royale PO, whose strap seemed a bit cheap, too sporty, and therefore less versatile. The folding clasp reinforces this premium feel, a far cry from the pin buckle that reminds me of my high school Casios, haha.
– This strap also softens the lines of the case. On steel, the PO seems a bit too angular. With the rubber, the transition is smooth and aesthetically pleasing. It also visually and physically lightens the watch, further enhancing its comfort.
– No zirconium dioxide dial here, so no "ZrO2" label. The sandblasted "gunmetal" gray galvanized dial gives it a rawer, more toolwatch-like appearance.
– The satin finishes offer a premium presence without the bling. Depending on the lighting, it sometimes reveals its luxury side, sometimes its rugged tool character. At certain moments, thanks to the beige indexes that catch the light, the gray of the dial takes on a sepia tint. When it reveals its toolwatch side, it has a real Casino Royale aura! It's not a copy of the one in the film, but it pays homage to it in its own way. Furthermore, despite the symbolic power of the film's PO, I find it dated, too expensive, too big with its 45.5mm dial (43.5mm is already my limit for a 17-18cm wrist), and unreliable for everyday use.
– The helium escape valve, to accentuate its adventure watch DNA.
– 60-hour power reserve: truly comfortable.
– Its thickness: it works well on my size. I love the way the bezel "rests" on the dial. This creates a complex, rather than simplistic, visual architecture.
– It matches perfectly with my workwear/heritage/military style. Just imagine it on Havana brown leather or beige canvas to see its full potential.
– And this gray... much easier to integrate than blue (often too contrasting) or black (too neutral).

I hope that my review, despite its length, hasn't left you wanting more, because I feel like I haven't said everything! Today, after more than a month of wearing it, I am still discovering new aesthetic facets. My passion for this watch continues to grow. When boredom or weariness creep into my daily life, I sometimes do a simple thing: watch the seconds hand turn. It is an act of meditation that brings me back to the present moment, but not only that. It reminds me of my journey since discovering Omega and Casino Royale. It also reminds me how much I have evolved since purchasing my Diver 300, both personally and professionally. This PO is the symbol of that. It reminds me of something else: I don't know if the best is yet to come, but like Craig in the film, you have to keep moving forward, adventuring, evolving and exploring... in style, if possible. :)

A grail watch and a modern homage to Casino Royale

After the Rolex Deepsea that I sold and a Panerai that I still have, here I am with another diver which this time is an Omega. Not having been able to try it before, I bought this watch blindly and therefore not without a certain apprehension but in the end, it suits me super well with a diameter of 45.5 which is nickel and is really magnificent. In short an Omega in all its splendor!!!

Omega Seamaster Planet Océan 8500

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean “Summer Blue” embodies the perfect blend of technical sophistication and refinement.
Its gradient blue dial evokes the depths of the ocean, changing intensity depending on the light.
Inside beats the Omega caliber 8800, certified Master Chronometer: remarkably precise, and the power reserve is breathtaking. It delivers on its promises.
It's a watch designed for exploration yet elegant enough to accompany every moment of everyday life.
A precise, robust, and refined timepiece that captures the spirit of the sea while asserting a true personality on the wrist.

Infinite blue, absolute precision

Poursuivez par la couleur de cadran et la texture de bracelet (acier ou cuir faits main), puis v&eacute;rifiez le confort &agrave; 40 mm de diam&egrave;tre et l&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur au poignet. Enfin, gardez &agrave; l&rsquo;esprit que <strong>le v&eacute;ritable b&eacute;n&eacute;fice d&rsquo;une Apose r&eacute;side dans l&rsquo;&eacute;quilibre entre dessin, lisibilit&eacute; et provenance des composants</strong>.</p>
<h3 class="p3">Conclusion</h3>
<p class="p1"><strong>En quelques ann&eacute;es, Apose a impos&eacute; un style reconnaissable</strong> - coupe nette des volumes, cadrans architectur&eacute;s, bracelets soign&eacute;s - et une ambition rare de &laquo; francisation &raquo; int&eacute;grale de la gamme. La proposition est claire et transparente pour l&rsquo;acheteur : une montre automatique au dessin contemporain qui valorise un tissu de partenaires fran&ccedil;ais. Si vous h&eacute;sitez entre une Apose Radial ou une Apose N&deg;3-100 par exemple, pesez d&rsquo;abord votre rapport au &laquo; Made in France &raquo;, &agrave; la couleur et &agrave; la polyvalence ; <strong>et pour conforter votre d&eacute;cision par des retours concrets, fiez-vous aux avis clients Dialicious.</strong></p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Apose </strong>is a French watch brand founded in <strong>2020</strong> in Mulhouse (France) with the stated ambition of building a collection of watches made in France, automatic, high-end, and with a clean design.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Brand story: 100% French mission</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Born amidst the burgeoning French micro-brand scene, Apose champions a "return to purity" approach that opposes the overabundance of complications and flashy styles. The direction is clear <strong>-minimalist design, components sourced in France</strong>, local assembly and tricolor partnerships (dials, hands, bracelets and cases&hellip;), all managed by Romain Thieriet, a talented local watchmaker, who joined Apose from the beginning of the adventure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The goal is to prove that a contemporary and desirable watch can also showcase French craftsmanship, so the promise of Apose lies in the equation "French elegance, mechanical reliability and a localized supply chain".</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Apose: minimalist design and subtle elegance</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Apose's formal identity is based on understated volumes and controlled contrasts: a 316L steel case with taut facets, a case architecture often resembling three tiers, alternating brushed and polished finishes, and multi-level dials with raised hour markers and distinctive hands. The ergonomics are designed to be universal, centered around a signature 40mm diameter and a slim profile, with anti-reflective sapphire crystals and realistic water resistance (up to 10 ATM depending on the model). The aim is to create a dress watch, an everyday companion rather than a showpiece, hence the fact <strong>that readability and fit when worn always take precedence over the waouh effect.</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Apose Collections: N&deg;3-100, Radial, Douz and Pur</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Apose range is structured into clearly differentiated families, whose evolution illustrates the increasing "Frenchification" of the components: the N&deg;3-100 series (collection with exclusively French components), the Radial variations (fluted ring on dial), the Douz and Pur collections with more refined aesthetic variants, each designed for a chic everyday look, rather than a sporty one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The bracelets, offered in steel or full-grain leather, were developed in particular using offcuts of Longchamp leather for certain series, reinforcing the DNA of a French urban watch that embraces its style choices without resorting to spectacular complications, so that <strong>the choice between the collections depends on the atmosphere and style of these dials.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Apose n&deg;3-100 </strong>- Limited series &ldquo;100% French&rdquo;<strong>:</strong> components of French origin, strap made from Longchamp leather hides, French Pequignet Initial movement (65 hours reserve).</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Apose Radial</strong> - Dial highlighted by an anodized fluted ring, multiple colours (Indigo, Azure, etc.), steel or leather bracelet and France &Eacute;bauches movement (44 hours reserve).</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Apose Pur </strong>- Apose's most minimalist collection, yet also its very essence: a polished dial for intense color depth. France &Eacute;bauches movement (44-hour power reserve).</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Apose Douz</strong> - A more understated variation of dial N&deg;3-100 with France &Eacute;bauches movement (44 hours power reserve).</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">In 2022, Apose reached a symbolic milestone with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/apose/n%C2%B03-100">Apose N&deg;3-100</a> the edition adopts the French "Initial" caliber (65-hour power reserve, 4Hz, tungsten oscillating weight) manufactured by Pequignet, while the straps, made from Longchamp leather offcuts, serve a "100% French" specification for components and assembly. This configuration is not intended to make the other No. 3 models obsolete, but to demonstrate the industrial feasibility of a high level of "Made in France" on a limited-edition watch, meaning that the <strong>this industrial feat primarily serves to ensure overall design coherence across the supply chain.</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Apose Buying Guide: How to choose your French automatic watch?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">To select your Apose, start with the line: Apose Radial if you like a dial enlivened by a fluted ring and more pronounced contrasts, Apose N&deg;3-100 if the "fully French" aspect (including the Pequignet movement) is crucial, Apose Pur or Apose Douz if you want maximum simplicity. Next, consider the dial color and bracelet texture (handmade steel or leather), then check the comfort at 40 mm in diameter and the thickness on the wrist. <strong>Finally, keep in mind that the true benefit of an Apose lies in the balance between design, legibility, and the origin of the components.</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>In just a few years, Apose has established a recognizable style- clean lines</strong>, architecturally designed dials, meticulously crafted straps - and a rare ambition to fully "Frenchify" the range. The proposition is clear and transparent for the buyer: an automatic watch with a contemporary design that showcases a network of French partners. If you are hesitating between an Apose Radial or an Apose N&deg;3-100, for example, first consider your relationship to "Made in France," to color, and to versatility.</p>
