The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I bought this hefty piece (it's quite heavy) in the early 2000s. I don't wear it on my wrist anymore, but I still carry it in my heart :) because it brings back memories of a particular period in my life. Maybe I'll wear it again someday. It still looks great, it's very legible, the sunburst dial is beautiful, and the crystal that follows the curve of the case is a nice touch...that's it, I want to wear it again!

I'm not wearing it at the moment, but I'm attached to it.

I was looking for a fairly robust, waterproof to 200m minimum, stylish and with a budget of less than 900 euros. I went to my favorite watch jeweler (Mr. Medard in Versailles) who then introduced me to this incredible and fairly exclusive model because it is an edition intended for the US market only. The dial reproduces the scales of a sea turtle. The variations in color and texture of the dial are captivating. The only small downside is the not great precision of the movement (30 seconds per day is starting to be a lot) .. despite its diameter of 45 mm it is easy to wear and is very comfortable.

Sea turtle SRPH55: an incredible dial

When I bought (second-hand) this omega ref 3590.50.00 tritium from 1996, the price was still reasonable compared to a sub from the same period. The patina of the tritium indexes is superb with its eggshell color. The watch is versatile and can be dressed with multiple bracelets that make it either dressy or sporty. The original bracelet is also beautifully made even if the clasp is a bit archaic today. Despite an announced diameter of 42mm, the moonwatch is perfect for a small wrist and very comfortable.

an iconic watch at an (almost) reasonable price

The Oyster Perpetual is an iconic watch. Very simple, with a perfectly refined design, it is the ideal watchmaking ally in many situations. I chose this model (ref 114200) for its super original color with the olive dial and orange index markers. It is one of the watches that I wear the most, it is incredibly comfortable and very precise. I love it. I have tried several bracelets but I always come back to the Oyster which sublimates it to perfection.

Classic and original at the same time

Already the owner of several Rolexes, I started looking for a model (Rolex) that met the following specifications: pro + discreet + original. It was natural that I came across the 226570 black dial. Its brushed steel bezel makes it much more discreet than models with a ceramic bezel. The same goes for the fully brushed bracelet (unlike my GMT whose central link is polished). The originality lies in the orange GMT hand with the orange reminder of the "Explorer II" on the dial. I chose the black dial which I find much more discreet and elegant than the white one. It is one of the first Rolex models with anti-reflective treatment on the inner side of the sapphire and it makes a huge difference! Rolex was smart enough not to put this treatment on the outer side because this type of treatment is fragile and does not resist impacts/scratches over time. Its thin and elegant design despite a diameter of 42mm makes it completely compatible with a small wrist (17cm for me)

Explorer II black dial ref 226570

A super light watch considering its rather bodybuilder appearance (43.5mm in diameter). The bezel, gray/bronze and black, matte is very beautiful and produces a nice click. The rose gold-colored second hand is super original. The only downside to the look is the cyclops... I don't really understand why they put this cyclops when the small date on a black background would have been more discreet. The design of the bracelet is nice but the play in the flap (when it is open only) looks a bit cheap. Thanks to the titanium, despite its size, you quickly forget it's on your wrist.

My first full titanium watch

The Swatch brand was created in 1983 by Nicolas G. Hayek in Switzerland. The name "Swatch" is a portmanteau formed from "second watch" or "swiss watch", in reference to its objective of offering an affordable and quality Swiss watch. Swatch launched its first watch in 1983, revolutionizing the watch industry by offering colorful and fun designs at an affordable price.
The range includes colorful and fun designer models like the Swatch Original, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/irony"> Swatch Irony</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/skin"> Swatch Skin</a>, or the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/sistem_51"> System Swatch 51</a> an automatic model entirely assembled by machines. Swatch surprised everyone in 2022 with the launch of the collaboration with Omega and the becoming famous <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/swatch/moonswatch">Swatch Moonswatch</a> !
The brand Swatch is owned by the Swatch Group and produces approximately 3,100,000 watches per year, all models combined. To choose a Swatch which suits you best, Dialicious owners' reviews are a valuable resource for evaluating each of the different models through real customer experience.

After the Mercury and the Moon, I was tempted by this Jupiter. As a fan of watches with orange color (see my other reviews), I was inevitably seduced by these hands that go very well with the beige case. I changed the strap for an Erika Marine Nationale that suits it very well and makes it much more comfortable to wear than with the original strap.

Beautiful color combo with the historic speed design

A nice surprise, without being one, that this Swatch Moonswatch received for Christmas. Being a happy owner of an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, I had this very attractive crossover on my radar and it immediately caught my attention when it was launched! In fact, it is a Swatch Quartz Chronograph at €250, or €50 more than the brand's other chronographs... it's quite expensive for a useless plastic object... This is where it becomes attractive to agree to be captured by a well-conducted operation that has allowed Swatch to seduce both passionate amateurs (call them what you want) and the general public who don't care about watchmaking but who find happiness in Swatch's magic recipe with its pop and tangy watches. The first target being microscopic compared to the second who for a modest price discovers that there are other things at Swatch than plastic watches... and that a watch has gone to the Moon! In 10 years, young people will come and testify on the Dialicious channel that their first emotion in watchmaking was a Moonswatch… and probably that the Omega brand “speaks” to them more than others! That’s the magic of watchmaking, seeing things that others don’t see. In this Moonswatch Jupiter, I see a thoughtful gift from my loved ones, the satisfaction of being a voluntary victim of the marketing of the two brands Swatch and Omega… It’s perfect if you understood that this Moonswatch is not a Moonwatch ;-)

I agree with the concept 100%.

Well done Swatch, for better or for worse, this watch has made people talk! All controversy aside, this MoonSwatch is a very fun, colorful watch with reminders for all those who know a little about the Speedmaster and its many variations. It is a watch that I find very easy to wear, very light, obviously given the material in which it was created and with proportions identical to the Speed. I think that it is a watch not to be worn daily given its low water resistance and its fragile appearance. A Nato strap that is not particularly comfortable and which gives a "cheap" look to the watch. A small detail that you should not hesitate to change in my opinion to make the most of this Swatch. Its price of €260 makes it an accessible watch but at the same time slightly expensive in terms of quality/price ratio. A watch that must be taken for what it is, a fun and colorful watch, a nod to its big sister, the Omega Speedmaster Professional.

MoonSwatch, a fun watch, to be taken for what it is.

I invite everyone to enter the magical world of the moonswatch. Of course the quality/price ratio is questionable but the proportions are preserved.
I just blame the Jupiter for not having more readable hands. However it is a "must have" for any solar system and Omega enthusiast

A piece of Omega

This watch was found by chance during my summer vacation in Bilbao in the Swatch store. They had received the watches the same day for the first time, and I arrived like a flower first at the store. I was able to choose this Jupiter model, which makes me think of the ultraman, of course. But the case makes me think of a clay pottery. It makes it quite graphic and its matte color contributes a lot to it. It accompanies me in casual wear and goes with many bracelets. You shouldn't expect too much from it either, it will quickly suffer the ravages of time if I don't take care of it. But a good well-made kebab is good from time to time, we don't have to go to the Ritz every lunchtime!

Pop culture!

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.

Depuis le 21 novembre 2024, Serica propose une nouvelle collection tr&egrave;s audacieuse...&nbsp;Une montre habill&eacute;e sortant des sentiers battus nomm&eacute;e "Parade" sous la r&eacute;f&eacute;rence 1174. 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.
