The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Red watches are relatively rare on the market, especially dress watches.

I really like the dial of this timepiece because it's divided into sectors. It's the only piece in my collection with this feature. The hour markers echo the central cross, creating a beautiful balance with the textured burgundy center. The original strap, made of vegan leather (and therefore plastic), is a weak point of the watch, but it's very comfortable to wear and perfectly matches the dial. The lack of a date window frame is a drawback, but this is compensated for by the inner bezel. Finally, the sword hands enhance the watch's beauty.

Fantastic !

While the dial is the main draw of many watches, this is especially true for this one. Although I already owned a timepiece with an aventurine dial, I really wanted a genuine gemstone dial, and I found tiger's eye, with its caramel hue, particularly appealing. Generally speaking, the Luna is the most widely available model in the Omnis lineup. I find the hands and hour markers to be in perfect harmony with the dial. The only drawback of this watch, in my opinion, is its original strap, which, while comfortable, gave it a sporty look, whereas for me, it's a decidedly dressy timepiece. The lizard strap it's now fitted with enhances its appearance considerably. Finally, this Luna is important to me because it was a gift from my colleagues for a retirement party, so it holds a special place in my collection.

The eye of the tiger

I find this timepiece extremely elegant with its copper dial and open heart... which doesn't reveal the balance wheel, as is usually the case, but rather a rather unusual mechanism...
Indeed, thanks to this mechanism, the hour markers change every twelve hours to create a unique day/night indicator. This highly atypical complication, to my knowledge, was previously only found in Gruen watches.
The version I am fortunate enough to own is limited to 200 pieces with this dial and is made of steel and titanium.
Even though the watch required some repairs because the hour markers became stuck, it is now working perfectly again. The domed crystal enhances the elegant character of the model, and the original strap is suitable.

Duodecimal change

The most striking feature of this timepiece is undoubtedly its orbital minute complication, which immediately catches the eye.

It's indeed very rare to find a watch where the hours are indicated by a wheel marking the half-hours, which enhances legibility, but also, and perhaps more importantly, where the minute hand folds in half, offering a particularly original way to tell the time.

The domed crystal is also a positive aspect of the model, in my opinion.

Of course, there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the lack of a seconds hand, the less-than-perfect finishing, and the legibility of the minutes between 15 and 20 on the one hand, and between 40 and 45 minutes on the other.
These small flaws shouldn't detract from the pleasure of owning such an inspiring complication!

Exorbitant!

This watch has a mirror-polished case and a screw-down crown. The main asset of this timepiece is to offer an original reading of the time with its single hand. The glass is made of sapphire. The original bracelet with its slightly sporty side and its orange stitching gives an additional appeal to the watch. The white flange offers an interesting contrast with the black dial. Obviously the version with a Swiss movement is more prestigious but that does not detract from the attraction that this timepiece exerts.

Japanese automatic movement

This watch has a mirror-polished steel case. The glass is sapphire, which is nice. The cream-colored dial offers a very elegant day/night indicator. The applied indexes, as well as the date, reveal a certain quality. The very special handles give the model its personality. Finally, the hands are beautiful and complete the dressy character of the timepiece. If the finesse of the bracelet can be surprising at first, I find that it is consistent with the general subtlety that emerges from the watch.

In  

Omnis&nbsp;is a contemporary watch brand found in 2023 led by a founder named Fran&ccedil;ois Lamberdi&egrave;re, with customer service stated to be in Paris and shipments stated to be sent from France. The brand presents itself as an answer to a simple observation: between watches perceived as inaccessible and models judged too basic, it aims to offer timepieces with a strong design identity, modern materials, and understandable &ldquo;pleasure&rdquo; functions, while staying at more accessible price levels than traditional luxury watchmaking.
<h3>Omnis, &ldquo;all&rdquo; in Latin: watchmaking designed to widen the circle</h3>
The claimed name, taken from Latin, works like a program: to bring watchmaking to more wrists, without reducing the watch to a purely utilitarian object. The brand&rsquo;s narrative insists on reinterpreting &ldquo;fundamental codes&rdquo; - design, materials, complications - with the idea that watchmaking emotion should not be reserved for a small group of insiders. This does not mean everything must be complex, but that each model should carry an intention you can recognize at first glance.
The central promise is a balance between identity and accessibility. Omnis aims to deliver the feeling of a &ldquo;designed&rdquo; watch rather than a standardized one: considered typography, dials that play with depth, and silhouettes that embrace a contemporary character. In that logic, the brand bets as much on visual impact as on everyday coherence: a watch that you like should also be easy to live with, in a modern wardrobe.
The story highlights a material-driven curiosity as a guiding method. Omnis explains that it explored differentiating solutions and collaborated with artisans, using modern technology to combine materials such as steel, carbon, and other options presented as more durable. This &ldquo;material&rdquo; direction becomes a core thread: the brand does not only vary colors, it varies feel, weight, and wrist presence.
<h3>Unusual displays: when the watch becomes a reading experience</h3>
Omnis claims a taste for &ldquo;pleasure&rdquo; complications rather than for pure showmanship. The idea is not to stack functions, but to offer ways of reading time that surprise while remaining understandable. It is an interesting positioning at these price levels: instead of copying ultra-classic archetypes, the brand tries to create models that start conversations, without requiring advanced watch knowledge to be enjoyed.
Omnis Eon illustrates this approach through a transparent dial that stages a visible mechanical layout, presented as a &ldquo;centerpiece&rdquo; of a collection focused on contemporary design. The reading is built to give the impression of a living object: you see elements moving, you perceive depth, and the watch embraces a graphic presence. For the buyer, the benefit is simple: the watch tells something even when you are not checking the time.
This type of display requires personal compatibility with visual density. An open or transparent dial can be fascinating day to day if you enjoy observing, but tiring if you want a very calm reading. The healthiest method with Omnis is to ask whether you want an &ldquo;interface&rdquo; watch (calm, highly legible) or a &ldquo;stage&rdquo; watch (more expressive, more spectacular), because satisfaction depends heavily on that first choice.
<ul>
<li>Omnis Eon - Transparent dial watch, centered on contemporary design and mechanical staging.</li>
<li>Omnis Sph&egrave;re - A model presented as a bolder creation, designed to offer another way of perceiving time.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Luna: guilloch&eacute; as an accessible, dress-leaning signature</h3>
Omnis Luna is often presented as an elegant entry point: more &ldquo;dressy&rdquo; in spirit, yet designed to remain wearable and easy to live with. The emphasis is placed on a guilloch&eacute; dial, with the idea that a fine pattern can deliver depth and a luminous presence even on a controlled price watch. It is a coherent choice: guilloch&eacute; offers immediate visual pleasure without requiring a complex complication.
The collection also uses color as a personality tool. The proposed variants allow you to keep a stable silhouette while changing the mood dramatically: from discreet to more solar, from understated to more expressive. The value is practical: you can choose a &ldquo;work&rdquo; Luna that blends into daily life, or a brighter Luna that becomes a style accent, without changing format or intention.
Luna makes the most sense if you want a versatile watch that is not neutral. The guilloch&eacute; adds texture, steel adds solid presence, and the whole aims for a &ldquo;casual chic&rdquo; balance rather than strict classicism. For many buyers, that is exactly the appeal: a watch that feels like a &ldquo;real watch&rdquo; on the wrist, without entering a world of luxury codes or heritage rhetoric.
<ul>
<li>Omnis Luna - Guilloch&eacute; dial with color variants, built for a dress-leaning yet everyday use.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Carbon and ceramic: material ambition as a differentiator</h3>
The brand highlights collections where material is part of the design, not only a spec-sheet choice. In that logic, carbon targets lightness and a more technical look, while ceramic aims for a different sensation: more &ldquo;object-like,&rdquo; smoother, with a feeling of durable modernity. This strategy fits the Omnis DNA: offering varied watch sensations without forcing a jump into a higher price universe.
Omnis Origin is presented as a &ldquo;material&rdquo; milestone through a ceramic execution, described as the brand&rsquo;s first watch in that territory while maintaining a controlled budget approach. This kind of piece interests enthusiasts who want something different in touch and wear: ceramic does not age like steel, light reflects differently, and the watch often feels more &ldquo;monolithic,&rdquo; more contemporary.
Carbon, on the other hand, answers a very concrete expectation: wearability. A strong-design watch can become difficult if it is too heavy or poorly balanced. Carbon approaches therefore aim to keep character &ldquo;easy,&rdquo; with bold visual presence but a light wrist feel. For the buyer, the right criterion is not only aesthetics: it is comfort over a full day, especially if you move a lot.
<ul>
<li>Omnis Origin - Modern direction, with versions highlighting ceramic and an &ldquo;object&rdquo; approach to the case.</li>
<li>Omnis Nova - A collection associated with avant-garde materials and a focus on ergonomics and character.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Omnis offers a contemporary, design-driven vision shaped by materials and reading experiences, with the ambition to make these codes more accessible than traditional luxury watchmaking. To choose well, start by defining your level of expressiveness (restrained or spectacular), then your material preference (steel, carbon, ceramic), and finally your everyday legibility needs.

(Updated March 2026)

This EON from the recent OMNIS brand is a watch with a wandering hours complication.
These 3 beautiful cylinders give a hypnotic aspect to the watch.
The red second hand brings dynamism to the dial which seems very calm.
With an octagonal shaped case, this EON is the perfect equation between originality of design and pleasant approach to reading the time.

A simple complicated one!

A watch with an original design that sparks curiosity, both in terms of telling the time, which is quite easy to read once you get used to it, and which certainly makes an impression. Its reasonable weight makes it comfortable to wear; it's a timepiece I never thought I could afford, and the quality is there, at an attractive price.

Wandering Hour

Here's an OMNIS EON, which features the wandering hour complication. Like the ERA, I love this case shape, and I wanted a wandering hour. I love fun mechanisms on watches, as well as original complications.

I really like the entire disc mechanism as well as its jet turbine-shaped oscillating weight.

The lum is also great, but the minute markers (beginning/middle/end) are missing a fixed point, making it difficult to read the time in the dark.

Setting the time is a real pleasure every time.

On the downside, reading the time is difficult, not because of the wandering hour, but because the minute marker scale is imprecise, very imprecise.
The Omnis rubber strap (curved and without a quick release) is cheap. The Myota Series 8. I'm not a fan of this caliber, but it gets the job done.

I really like this watch; it's a real icebreaker, whether the person in front of me likes watches or not.

An accessible wandering hour

(Mise &agrave; jour Ao&ucirc;t 2025)

ZRC is a watch brand founded in 1904 in Geneva, Switzerland, by Edmond Zuccolo and Joseph Rochet. Born in the field of pocket-watch chains and later expandable metal bracelets, the brand now caters to enthusiasts of iconic tool divers, made famous by its Grands Fonds developed for the French Navy from the 1960s onward.
<h3>6 o&rsquo;clock crown, monobloc case and French Navy spirit</h3>
Engineered to meet the operational demands of French Navy mine-clearance divers, the Grands Fonds features a 6 o&rsquo;clock crown, a monobloc case and in-house solutions such as ECS (Easy Clean System) and CPS (Crown Protection System). In practice, the 6 o&rsquo;clock crown and CPS prevent the watch from being worn unless the crown is fully screwed down, reducing user error prior to immersion; ECS helps flush out salt to prevent crystallization under the bezel.
<h3>Grands Fonds and contemporary variants</h3>
The current collection translates the historical DNA (legibility, field ergonomics, tool-watch silhouette) into multiple sizes and performance levels. Whichever the model, the 6 o&rsquo;clock signature ensures instant readability and an immediately recognisable identity.
<ul>
<li>ZRC Grands Fonds MN64 &mdash; Core diver inspired by 1964, 300 m, bold legibility for versatile daily wear.</li>
<li>ZRC Grands Fonds Hertiage &mdash; Smaller 38 mm option retaining the 6 o&rsquo;clock crown signature for slimmer wrists.</li>
<li>ZRC Securicode &mdash; Reinterpretation of a late-1950s/1960s theme with historical design elements.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Positioning: pro tool, pricing and distribution</h3>
The brand&rsquo;s stance is that of an independent Swiss &ldquo;diving instrument,&rdquo; with production volumes not disclosed and selective distribution (specialist retailers and direct sales). As a guide, many steel references sit around &euro;2,500&ndash;3,000, while technical titanium pieces exceed &euro;4,000; special editions or precious-metal variants are significantly higher. Presence is established in Europe such as <a href="https://www.soprana.com/zrc-1904/?lang=en">Soprana</a> in Italy or <a href="https://junod-lausanne.ch/fr/collections/zrc">Junod</a> in Switzerland, and selected Asian/Middle-Eastern markets through a tight retail network.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
ZRC speaks to those who value immediately recognisable tool-watch design with functional clarity and a strong signature. Your choice will likely fall between versatile daily wear (Grands Fonds 300/38), an emphatic historical link (MN64, Securicode), or a more technical, extreme approach (Grands Fonds 3000 Titanium). Ergonomics benefit from the 6 o&rsquo;clock crown and CPS safety; purists will appreciate the overall coherence. To refine your decision beyond the spec sheet, rely on Dialicious customer reviews to understand comfort, real-world legibility and on-wrist feel.
(Updated August 2025)

The main asset of this watch is obviously to offer a complication usually reserved for exceptional timepieces: the wandering hour.
While there are other models offering this reading of the time, this one stands out in my opinion by its seconds hand which brings life to the dial.
It is also necessary to highlight the dodecagonal shape of the case, as well as the oscillating weight which occupies the entire case back with a helical cutout.
The leather strap is not very qualitative and those in silicone do not go at all with such a dressy watch in my opinion.
Nevertheless, this small downside should not make us forget the beautiful quality of this model and the exceptional complication it offers.
