Here is a small Seiko reference 7009, I inherited it from my uncle who is unfortunately no longer with us, so I dedicate this review to him, he who was also a fan of Seiko just like me, and this watch will remind me of the good times spent with him, this Seiko was his first who bought it new in the 80s, automatic caliber reference 7009-876A day date with a tonneau case typical of his years, I had the case back engraved in his memory, don't worry uncle it is in good hands. Rest in peace!

Here is the latest one which is a Seiko Alpinist the latest Prospex model reissue of the famous and much coveted Sarb017, with its green sunray dial and its gilt indexes!
My model came out with the famous cyclops on the date which spoils a little this sublime dial, without further ado I modified all that and with a little trick I removed all that to give Caesar what is Caesar's! 😉
Even if the date is white it does not shock at all, the watch is now to my taste with the crazy charm of this so emblematic model. You will see in the photos before and after the removal of the cyclops, good reading thank you.

Here is one of my vintage, a so-called jumbo Lip with a gold-plated case in the art deco style from the 50s I think with the famous R25, size 38 mm, good size for the time and small seconds, it has been restored, revised and re-plated by a watchmaker friend in Belgium, it is like new with its white dial which has suffered the traces of time with a lunar effect. A marvel and a piece of French watchmaking history on my wrist.

Here is a rather rare model, 
Indeed it is the first eco-drive model 
Presented in 1974 by Citizen, a prototype that was never marketed at the time, 
The first marketed model was released in 1976. 
In 2020 Citizen re-released this model in commemoration on the occasion of the anniversary of its marketing in Italy (which was at the time the first country to sell eco-drive models in Europe). 
It is a limited edition of 750 copies. 
And of which I am the happy owner, another piece of history on the wrist.

Here is my seiko sq 100 divers - quartz
Which was given to me for my birthday by a friend. From his collection he acquired new in the 80s.
Day / date extra flat bezel with aluminum insert.
In exceptional condition, Black dial with applied indexes filled with luminova. The perfect watch for summer!

A little piece of history still on the wrist
This is the Seiko Quartz Alarm model
7723, just the first quartz alarm watch, in the 70s Seiko continued to drive the point home with ever more innovation in quartz.
A marvel with its octagonal bezel in line with the style of that time!
I would add a dedication to Super Yo-yo, he will be recognized for his pipes because although it is in very good aesthetic condition, the bitch was a little capricious to start again!
But it is done, it works now.

<p dir="ltr">During the 1970s and 1980s, Seiko solidified its reputation as a technological leader with the development of solar-powered watches and the introduction of professional divers' watches. In 2005, Seiko presented the Spring Drive, a unique movement combining the strength of mechanical watchmaking and the precision of quartz.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Created in <strong>2017</strong> by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, <strong>Beaubleu</strong> brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing <strong>a new vision of time</strong>, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Beaubleu watch cost?</h2>
