The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Victorinox Pro Dive 300m titanium, a watch designed to face all situations, the automatic and Swiss G-Shock, black PVD treated titanium case, rubber strap, SW-220-1 movement, a quality watch, robust with its own DNA, despite its 43mm diameter, it knows how to be forgotten on the wrist due to its lightness, personally I prefer it on the yellow silicone strap matching the touches of yellow on the dial and hands.

Swiss Army Knife

The U-Boat Darkmoon 44mm was an impulse buy due to its originality and look. The dial, along with the entire mechanism (a Swiss Ronda 712.3 quartz movement), is bathed in oil. It's a high-quality movement, and the watch comes on a signed leather strap with an Italian design. The case is bronze PVD-coated steel, giving it a vintage look, as is the bronze dial. I've only had it for a few months, and the leather strap is still quite stiff. Combined with the 44mm diameter, it's not the most comfortable watch to wear; perhaps I should try it with its rubber strap.

UFO impulse buy

This is the third automatic watch I've bought, a Tissot PRS516 Extreme chronograph in red. It has a sporty look, is 43mm in diameter, and features a steel case on a black and red rubber strap reminiscent of a car tire. The sapphire crystal case back is decorated with a car rim motif. Again, it's a Swiss watch, with excellent build quality and finish, though its diameter makes it a bit bulky.

First automatic chronograph in my collection

My second automatic watch purchase, I fell in love with this massive 46mm diver's watch. It's heavy because of its black PVD-coated steel construction and rubber strap. I also own the black PVD strap, which I've never worn. Hamilton is a legendary Swiss brand, known for its robustness as a military watch. It's not the easiest to wear every day because it's bulky, heavy, and the legibility isn't great—all black on black, but the case back is nicely engraved with a diving suit.

Falling for something

This was the first automatic watch I ever bought, the watch that sparked my love for and discovery of the world of watchmaking. Purchased brand new in a boutique, it was a unique experience. It was also my first Swiss watch, and the first time I'd ever spent so much money on a watch, at the age of 35. The beginning of a passion and a collection.

First automatic watch

The Tissot brand was created in 1853 by Charles-F&eacute;licien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile in Le Locle in Switzerland. Since its creation, the brand has distinguished itself by offering a pocket watch indicating two time zones. As it developed, Tissot had to structure the house to focus on the export market and more particularly in Russia. Tissot is known for its innovation. She created the first antimagnetic watch in 1930 and the first automatic wristwatch displaying 24 time zones without manipulation in 1951.
In 1971, she also created a model made entirely of plastic, including its mechanical movement, the Tissot Astrolon. The brand positions itself in the mid-range and wants to offer quality at an affordable price. In the Tissot range we find flagship models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/prx_powermatic_80"> Tissot PRX Powermatic 80</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/le_locle"> Tissot Le Locle</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/telemeter_1938">Tissot Telemeter 1938</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/v8_swissmatic"> Tissot V8 Swissmatic</a> or even the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/seastar">Tissot Seastar</a>.

(Updated April 2024)

After several years of continuous wear, this watch of more than 16 years still makes me smile when I wear it with its dial featuring a braided carbon background. The Valjoux 7750 is very present on the wrist with its vibrations and weight, its bracelet taking up the holes of the racing flywheels (flywheel that is found on the oscillating weight) is of excellent quality. A faithful and robust watch.

A slightly heavy but robust watch

This 2010 Tissot PRS 516 automatic has seen it all. A real tank, but it comes at a price: 232 g on the scale.
In any case, I like it and I wear it almost every day at work, not behind a desk but rather in the field and I don't spare it anything, yet it has never let me down.
Why this one?
Because it's a design that I love and I need a Chrono at work.
With its openwork bracelet, it is associated with motorsport, especially with this chronograph model equipped with a Valjoux 7750 that can be seen through the transparent back. Another feature that I love is the syringe-shaped hour and minute hands, very readable and very precise. Otherwise, very practical, well integrated and which I use often, the day and date window is on a black background so fits very well in this black dial. (I hate having a white block for the date on a beautiful black screen!)
Every time I put it on my wrist, I imagine finally having the TAG HEUER CARRERA “PORSCHE” of my dreams.
