The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

The inspiration is clearly oceanic, with a stunning gradient display.

This combination of purple reflections evokes the depths.

The GMT function is very practical.

I really like this piece, which I wear casually at the pool or beach thanks to its 200m water resistance.

While the strap is good quality and includes an adjustable sizing system for wetsuits, it has a very annoying tensioner that scratches very easily on the clasp. I plan to replace it very soon.

Octopus a GMT

Bought at the very beginning of my watch fever in a famous Parisian boutique, I was seduced by its pleasant face, its oceanic dial, its vintage look, its CELITA Elaboré movement, its bracelet combination (although I was only delivered the silicone one) 
It accompanied me on my last trip to Vietnam and Taiwan, its compactness and reliability give this Circula its place in my podium of watch brands and I hope in the medium term to acquire another model of this fantastic brand 


German quality

In September 2024, I started scuba diving after a year of theoretical and practical training in a pool and in open water. I passed my first certification and felt I had to reward myself for this hard work, so I decided to acquire this exceptional dive suit, equipped with an integrated depth gauge. It's the same one Enzo wears in "The Big Blue," in an Eco Drive titanium version, tested several times on dives—a real deep-sea thrill!



A fascinating symbiosis

And two! barely recovered from the summer joy and pleasure that my Fujitsubo promaster gave me
Here I am just after the meet up in La Baule falling for a great opportunity with this promaster the more classic look but with a more worked bracelet and a navy sunray dial and a black bezel makes this watch strong and elegant
I am only a few days into wearing it but it has already amazed me with its lightness and elegance and its face of an adventurer of the abyss

Double whammy for this Promaster Marine Super Titanium

A very nice finish for this superb Lip reissue of one of the brand's first dive watches, featuring a "true" GMT complication that I really love.

A very practical bracelet.
The crystal is magnificent and transports us back to the 60s. The downsides, for me, are that the vintage look doesn't quite classify it as a true dive watch; it's rather thick and not particularly dressy either.
Worn 10 days out of the last 500.

Vintage diver and GMT

A watch that is both sporty, with its (fixed) bezel, and dressy, thanks to the dial color and proportions.

A vintage style, with the shape of the hands and markers and the textured crystal.

Original complications:  Date subdial  Power reserve indicator

But in my opinion, it also falls short because of these qualities; ultimately, it's caught between two worlds. I never know when to wear it—dressy? Sporty?

In 500 days, it has only been on my wrist 10 times.

The Seiko brand, founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in the Ginza district of Tokyo, has become one of the most influential and respected watch companies in the world. Since the opening of its first store, Seiko has continued a path of constant growth and innovation.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Seiko brand</h2>
The year 1924 marked the first watch produced under the Seiko brand. The company continued to develop new technologies, and in 1956 it released the first self-winding wristwatch made in Japan. The real game-changer came in 1969 with the introduction of the Seiko Astron, the world's first quartz watch. This innovation not only changed the direction of Seiko but also revolutionized the entire watch industry.
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.
In recent years, Seiko has continued to innovate by creating eco-friendly watches and supporting various environmental initiatives. The brand is known for its commitment to quality, precision and sophisticated design.

The prices of new Seiko watches change regularly and vary depending on the model. Most cost between &euro;500 and &euro;1,000 depending on the finishes. Price differences can be significant between the brand's different collections. For example, the price of a Seiko 5 fluctuates between &euro;200 and &euro;400 and the Seiko Prospex between &euro;300 and &euro;2,500. Prices also fluctuate depending on the distributor, and promotions sometimes allow you to benefit from a more competitive price. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at to buy a cheaper Seiko.

Seiko 7T32 6a50 from 1993. Quartz, chrono, alarm...37 mm... Bought new 30 years ago, I immediately found it to my taste. It is in excellent condition. The only "hiccup", since the beginning, it has not been able to pass the date of the 11th! A detail...I am very attached to it obviously. The sentimental value is priceless, for me.

Because of her!

I present to you my Seiko in kinetic version it is in steel on a white background and has a reserve of 6 months due to its kinetic operation it also has the day date it is equipped with a sapphire crystal quite rare on a Seiko it is equipped with a steel bracelet but for more comfort to my taste I equipped it with a leather strap

Seiko Veil

I really discovered the SEIKO philosophy through its models from the 60s (and 70s). Not content with developing internal research into increasingly high-quality watches (thanks to the competition between the 2 factories Suwa and Daini), SEIKO also wanted to show its ability to compete with Swiss watchmaking. But I remember that at the time, in Europe, "Made in Japan" was considered the same as today's "Made in China", i.e. a mass industry manufacturing basic products. However, at the beginning of the 60s, SEIKO shone in chronometry competitions, released the King and Grand Seiko, and what interests us, the Seikomatic range with automatic watches equipped with very innovative systems including the famous "Magic Lever". And in 1963 this marvel was released: the Seikomatic Self Dater 50 Proof with its magnificent 395 caliber of 39 jewels, referenced J13060 (and J13085). Any logic of profitability was swept away: you just had to do as well as the Swiss, or even better! Result: the oscillating weight turned, no longer on ball bearings, but on 6 jewels; the indexes were faceted and applied with great care (as indicated by the small star at 6:00); and the hands were polished on the top and beveled on both edges (a bit like on current Grand Seikos). There was a stop-second, a quick date change, water resistance to 50 m, a very precise movement (although not chronometer certified)... In short, a high-quality watch, but which cost 3 times the price of a classic SEIKO in the 1963 catalog. And again, there was a more expensive gold-plated version, and a very rare version with white gold indexes (different star at 6:00 and dial marked SD and not AD like mine). To conclude, because there would be so much to say about it, it is a watch from 1963, (reference J13060), but incredibly modern. Its look, its case shape, its indexes are still very current. The watch is 37 mm in diameter (without the crown), which is already not bad for the time, but as there is almost no bezel, it feels like having a 38/39 mm on the wrist. The "Magic Lever" and the various innovations reduce the shocks of the movement for greater reliability. And the caliber is of high quality. It has just been revised and the drift is from 0 to +1 s/day on 5 positions!!! No need to be certified as a chronometer to be precise. So dare to go vintage, dare to go for the SEIKO from the 60s! And even if you will probably have to buy it on the Japanese market (as I did 4 years ago), the prices of the Seikomatic are lower than the King Seiko and Grand Seiko for an almost equivalent pleasure. And you have a rarity on your wrist!

Seikomatic J13060 : The search for perfection

Seiko pre-skx from my collection, in fact model 7002 - water resistant 150 meters. Pepsi bezel. Which was given to me by a friend. After having had a skx then sold it, I really regretted not having kept it and I came across this little 7002 in incredible condition, revised, it has 2/3 small chips, I changed the glass which was really damaged, by a double dome sapphire with blue reflection. a killer.

Seiko 7002 

Vintage Seiko from October 1975, from my personal collection, caliber 6602 manual winding. 36 mm case - date silver sunray dial, very good condition for its age, coupled with a navy blue leather strap which suits it wonderfully and brings out the tritium indexes. A magnificent little dress watch.

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. Le nom Serica vient d'une r&eacute;gion perdue au bout de l'Extr&ecirc;me-Orient que les Grecs et les Romains avaient baptis&eacute;e ainsi. Ce lieu fait &eacute;cho &agrave; la gen&egrave;se de la marque, qui vise &agrave; concevoir des montres m&eacute;caniques de qualit&eacute; au style n&eacute;or&eacute;tro, pr&ecirc;tes &agrave; vous suivre aux confins du monde.

L'une des particularit&eacute;s de cette marque est que son nom n'appara&icirc;t nulle part sur le cadran, afin de pousser le passionn&eacute; &agrave; acheter un design, des finitions et des proportions, et pas seulement un nom. En juillet 2023, Serica a lanc&eacute; la Serica 5303 COSC une version chronom&egrave;tre certifi&eacute;e par le Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres.

Ces 4 chiffres, comme toutes les autres r&eacute;f&eacute;rences Serica, propose une symbolique issue du nombre d'or ou divines proportions dont le ratio entre la longeur et la largeur sont de 1,174... Une nouveaut&eacute; propos&eacute;e en pr&eacute;-commande &agrave; 1,490 &euro; pour une livraison pr&eacute;vue en Mars 2025...
<h2>Quel est le prix d'une montre Serica ?</h2>
Les prix des montres Serica &eacute;voluent et diff&eacute;rent selon les mod&egrave;les. La plupart co&ucirc;tent entre 990 &euro; et 1,890 &euro; selon les mod&egrave;les et finitions.

(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.
