The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I've always wanted to buy a Yema, but several criteria were missing before I could take the plunge. Now, everything is there with this Superman Dato. Yema has become a French manufacturer with a high-quality movement created by Olivier Moris: a 70-hour power reserve, more accurate than the COSC (-1 second/day in my case), and what a beauty…

When I first picked it up, I found it a little heavy, but once on the wrist, you quickly forget you're wearing it thanks to its 39.5 mm diameter and the bracelet that perfectly hugs the wrist. The legibility is perfect, with the date ideally positioned. Yes, it has a new look compared to the previous model. Purists will certainly miss it, but since I'm not one, I prefer it this way: it's more modern, and that suits me very well.

The only criticism I could find is its 13.8 mm thickness, which is forgiven thanks to the new locking mechanism for the ceramic bezel, now bidirectional. The bracelet clasp has also been redesigned and now features a fine adjustment. It's water-resistant to 200 meters, has a sapphire crystal case back, grade A Luminova that lasts all night until morning, and finally, a date display—an essential feature for me.

So there you have it… I highly recommend it.

Yema Superman Dato, the one I was waiting for

Not a big fan of overloaded watches because of their lack of visibility, I was still attracted to the Breitling brand, especially for its history and designs. 

I recently came across a model that you don't see often, "the cockpit A9350". A Breitling without a chronograph, very readable with a small diameter and a large date. Of course, it has all the codes of the brand with the added bonus of all those of a diver's watch, which doesn't hurt. It's a 2014 watch in more than perfect condition, close to new, COSC certified. 

When I received it, I was won over by its look and condition. Combining robustness and refinement, its 14 mm thickness is quickly forgotten when you put it on your wrist. 

You don't get bored admiring all its details, such as the little B engraved on the side of the bezel. The white mother-of-pearl dial and the applied indexes reflect the light beautifully, and when they are charged with light, the luminova finely arranged on the sides of each of them brings a certain chic to the whole. It is a Tool Watch par excellence. 

Anyway, I'll stop there because I could talk about it for hours.

Breitling's favorite

I love Longines and especially the “master collection” for its vintage and modern side at the same time. After looking at its moon phase model for a long time, my choice fell on the bi-compax chrono ref: 2.629.4.783. The first criterion was the date, and yes I can no longer imagine a watch without the date.... The second its low thickness for a chrono (less than 12 mm). And finally all the details that make this watch charming. 

First of all its barley grain dial that changes from white to grayish white or even (who knows why) to a yellowed white depending on the light. Then its blued hands that change from blue to black. I also love the inclined flange that surrounds the Arabic numerals with a superbly stylized retro font. The sub-dials are furrowed/sunlit and nibble at the 3 and 9, just like the date positioned at 6 o'clock. In my eyes all this perfectly balances this dial. The crocodile strap is amazing with its double butterfly-type folding clasp, unusual on leather. There is also the open back nicely decorated with a good power reserve given at 59 hs. The only negative point that I find for its price is that it is not anti-magnetic, fortunately for me there were sales…. 

These are the reasons that made me fall for this beautiful watch, a bit sporty with the chrono and super elegant. I am getting married my son soon and there is no doubt it will be on my wrist.

Longines chrono bi-compax Master collection

No doubt this Tudor BB 58 is a great watch in its category. Suffice to say that it ticks (for me) all the boxes of a "toolwatch". What I liked above all was its diving/vintage side without crown protector, its contained thickness of 12 mm as well as its diameter of 39 mm. With its "Kénesis" manufacture caliber it has a remarkable precision on my wrist of + 1 second/day, a real treat. 
Depending on the seasons and the moment, I change its strap, the fabric for the summer, the steel and the leather in winter. Everything suits it well, I would like to find it a good rubber strap without space between the strap and the case. You will have understood I am filled with its versatility.

Tudor BB 58

Hello, In 2014 I felt the need to have a mechanical watch. Having very little experience on the subject, I modestly documented myself on the subject and very quickly the budget was a brake to have a watch to my taste. Yes, as I come from quartz, I always have an interest in precision.... After a few months of reflection, it was the KAKI FIELD that met my criteria (budget, diameter, thickness, design, water resistance and precision). Finally I turned to the occasion (almost new condition, very little worn) I kept it for several years as my main watch with a lot of pleasure. delivered with a leather strap, it is great on a nato which makes me say that its sapphire back is not necessarily necessary. What I like most about this watch is its champagne dial, the domed sapphire crystal, its hands and its water resistance to 100 m. Oh yes, what also filled me and that I discovered later, is the history of the brand and this model. Since then I have had several watches, some of which are no longer part of my collection. It is still with me even if I wear it less, I would not sell it but it is possible that it will soon end up on my son's wrist.....


First Mechanical Watch

This watch is to "symbolize" a significant moment in my life. Indeed, I hanged my wife in 2020 and during her last days she wanted me to buy myself a beautiful watch. She knew of course that I liked it and despite her state of health she still wanted to please me. After her death I bought several watches with which I could not be satisfied, I sold everything for this royal tudor which in my eyes symbolizes her moments of pain and tenderness. I love this watch, accurate to 2/3 s/d, super comfortable, qualitative etc .... Since then I bought another tudor BB 58 but it is the royal that I wear the most ... It is often said that a watch sometimes brings emotion, this one brings me some if only by its history.

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Tudor</strong>, founded in <strong>1926</strong>, is the fruit of the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, also founder of Rolex. His ambition was to create a watch that would offer the reliability and quality of Rolex, but at a more affordable price. So, from the start, Tudor positions itself as a manufacturer of quality watches at more accessible prices than those of the Rolex brand. This extremely clear DNA allows Tudor to position itself on innovation illustrated by its brand signature: &ldquo;<strong>Born To Dare</strong>&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">From the 1950s, Tudor began to forge its own identity, although still associated with Rolex. In 1954, the brand launched the Oyster Prince Submariner model, affirming its position in diving watches. This watch featured exceptional water resistance, making it particularly popular with professional divers and water sports enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. <strong>Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy</strong>, attesting to their robustness and reliability. The launch of the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chronograph model, more commonly known as the "Big Block", in the 1970s is another important milestone for the brand. It was the first automatic chronograph with a date, a technological feat for its time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since it was taken over by Rolex in 1936, Tudor focused until the 1970s on professional models from the Rolex professional collection. The 80s allowed the brand to begin to free itself from it without offering models that would mark history.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated September 2024)</p>

This watch is sublime, I've been wearing it almost every day for a year and I never get tired of it.
Everything charms me about this watch: its design, its proportions, its history.
I have it on both Tudor bracelets: Steel & Fabric. Both suit it perfectly.
It is also very precise and despite the fact that it is a toolwatch with a sporty look, it has a dressy side because of its deep blue & silver accents.

So comforting

A revival of the 1958 model, this Black Bay 58 has truly made a successful comeback.
Having owned several brand-name watches, I must say that this BB 58 ticks all the boxes.
Its aluminum bezel, its 39mm case, its perfectly sized crown, its gold-plated hour markers and hands, its very comfortable bracelet, and its simultaneously vintage and modern look are all highlights.

I would add that the clasp is of a quality I haven't encountered anywhere else, to my knowledge, and the winding mechanism is exceptionally smooth.

The bezel also has incredible clicks.

Finally, I'll mention that it's a no-date watch; I prefer this complication, except when the date is displayed at 6 o'clock. Tudor, Rolex's little sister, makes one wonder if the latter is of higher quality?
I have only one word to describe this BB 58: Perfect

Perfect

A neo-classical timepiece that reconnects with a glorious past of Tudor. Attractive design, dimensions, colors. Perfect operation. A watch that remains discreet despite everything and receives unanimous praise. Worn daily, it generates great pleasure. Its value for money is unbeatable.

A daily pleasure

I chose this watch to celebrate a notable family event. I wanted a sober, versatile and timeless watch. I am won over, 2 years later it follows me everywhere, surfing, in the mountains, cycling, or in the evening, it delights me with its versatility. When I go on vacation and although I have a small collection, I never hesitate on which one will accompany me. The BB58 is my watch made for trips.

A watch that does everything

The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 39mm is an ideal watch for all occasions.
It is a watch that is both sporty chic and discreet in everyday life.
What I like about this watch is its blue dial that changes color in bright sunlight.
It changes from blue to light gray, this watch can be worn whatever the outfit on a daily basis.
