The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

A neo-vintage look for this chronograph for less than €400! A very nice shop in the heart of Paris for an impulse purchase that I don't regret. A watch with a mecaquartz movement, combining mechanics and quartz, which is expanding my collection!

We are certainly not in the dimension of Rolex or Omega but rather in the desire to treat yourself at a good price for a young French brand that is constantly reinventing itself. With the Awake Concept, this is my 2nd French watch, a sign that young people are mobilizing to offer other paths in watchmaking with a more humble and above all more economical approach.

This is also my 1st chronograph... A way to test this type of watch at a lower price and I must admit that the diversity of information specified on the dial brings this Charlie to life. Its price at €375 exactly makes me say that Japanese watches like Seiko or Orient - like my Prospex Bleue - no longer have the exclusivity of nice, different and accessible watches from a price point of view. Bravo Charlie from this point of view!

Finally, I chose the sand-colored dial with the fabric strap of the same color for the discretion of the whole... and maybe I should have also taken the steel strap for its touch of originality?

Falling for something

Here is my daily, the Tudor Black Bay 58 black and gilt dial (or gold depending on the person). Its charm was evident from its launch, just from the photos. I was lucky enough to be able to try it quickly without being able to buy it. This forced me to think in spite of myself and to tell myself more than ever that I was going to buy it according to the availability of the time! A few weeks after its launch I went to buy it during a weekend in Paris at Bucherer near the Place de l'Opéra.

After more than 3 years on the wrist, I can only say that it perfectly fulfills its mission of a watch without headaches, easy to wear, neither too small, nor too big, nor too much of anything else. A discreet watch all in all even if since then, it has come a long way at Tudor with more or less successful variations...

I am very happy to have bought it at the time significantly cheaper than the 3950 euros currently asked! Small digression, the Tudor Black 54 catches my eye but isn't the characteristic of a daily to be the only one 🤔

My daily for several years 😎

I present to you my "little" Seiko Prospex integrated into the "Save the Ocean" limited series. As with the purchase of the Awake Concept La Bleue, I am attentive to the commitments made by the Seiko brand and I hope they keep them! This Seiko Prospex offers a blue dial going from ocean blue to black... reminding me of the gradient of the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea James Cameron! The comparison stops there as this Seiko offers a fantastic quality-price ratio!

Less than €500 for a watch with Seiko quality and water-resistant to 200 meters! Its silicone strap is super comfortable and the readability is fantastic, especially with the Lumibrite treatment in the dark. It is clear that it is a very pleasant watch to wear daily because it is very robust and almost ordinary if we compare it to the Rolex Explorer II.

Morality, it's my favorite watch whenever I do a physical or technical activity like going fishing on a boat... another way to enjoy the ocean 😎

Another beautiful blue

It's been a while since I wanted to introduce you to this new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Edition 007 "No Time To Die" I bought it with the titanium mesh bracelet but I must admit that on this one I prefer it with a tone-on-tone NATO strap... which makes it even lighter. And yes, the lightness is one of the things that seduced me the most beyond its pastel colors which frankly differentiate it from the other Seamaster Diver 300M...

This is my second Omega Seamaster from a James Bond after the more discreet Seamaster 300 "Spectre". I have acquired a taste for the brand and the Seamaster and I must note a fantastic precision of the two models, even more this one with the METAS or Master-Chronometer certification (not knowing if it means the same thing). The engravings on the back are really nice and the little arrow on the dial - symbol of the British armies - reinforce its unique, different and exceptional side - at least for me.

I bought it new for once just under 10,000 euros and it now costs 11,000, a nice increase... I hesitated at the time because I found it a bit expensive and I wasn't sure I would buy it at 11,000 🧐

In any case, it's a watch that I wear with great pleasure whatever the conditions and my activity... A versatile watch - certainly not more discreet! - with a bit of projection on the wrist of Daniel Craig and No Time To Die, without a doubt, the best James Bond of recent years...

A titanic James Bond

I am the happy owner of this Rolex Explorer 2 black dial. I bought it decades ago and it is my only Rolex. Even then I was interested in the brand's products, looking for a watch with punch but not known or identifiable anymore.

I chose this little-known Rolex, little used in the brand's communication. Bought new in a Rolex boutique in the Paris region, it has many qualities, robustness, readability of the dial and a non-flashy style than the current Rolexes which shine a little too much for my taste.

I would like to treat myself - if I could afford it - to a Rolex Daytona, but the mirror-polished Oyster bracelet very different from that of my Explorer makes it prohibitive. And then, the evolution of the market, the success of Rolex, the impossibility of buying a new one, made me turn away from the brand in favor of more discreet or unknown brands... all in all the continuation of what made me come to this Explorer 2

Thanks for reading me 👍

Accomplice

I like the simplicity of this Omega Seamaster 300. Inspired by the very first Seamaster 300 launched in 1957 - reference CK2913 if my humble research is correct - this Omega combines many qualities, at least those that interest me. A very unique look, associated with the history of the brand and indirectly with that of the most famous secret agent. 

I bought it second-hand on Chrono24 looking for the Spectre version, but it was too expensive. After thinking about it, the simplicity of the dial showing only Seamaster and while having a bubble-shaped second hand convinced me. I received it with its steel bracelet that I immediately changed for a dark, black bracelet that enhances the dial. The steel bracelet is very well finished but too flashy with the mirror-polished outer part. 

Nothing to say about the precision and decoration of the movement with a very open case back allowing you to admire the caliber in all its animation. Thanks Omega 🙏

The Spectre's Spectre

The brand Tudor, founded in 1926, 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;Born To Dare&rdquo;.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
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.
The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy, 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.
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.

2012 is undoubtedly a year. Important in the history of the brand with the launch of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay which will become the spearhead of the brand with a successful identity and variations increasingly popular with watchmaking enthusiasts.
Today, Tudor is recognized as a brand in its own right, producing around 300,000 watches each year, most of which are certified COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing) or METAS, an independent Swiss label created by the Federal Institute of Metrology.

A daily pleasure

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

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.

Classic among classics

TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy Master Chronometer – The Icon Sublimated (2025)

There are watches that don't just make an impression: they captivate them. The all-new TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy, version 2025, is clearly one of them.

Its dial is a visual enigma, oscillating between deep cherry, intense morello cherry, and sometimes even velvety black, depending on the light and angle. A lively, textured, almost organic dial. It gives this watch a soul, a magnetic presence that transcends the simple timepiece.

The 39.02 mm case remains faithful to the perfectly balanced proportions of the Black Bay 58, while offering an ultra-reduced thickness, very appreciable on the wrist. All of this is paired with a sumptuous five-link “grain of rice” bracelet, at once retro, technical, and remarkably comfortable. A true caress on the skin.

Technically, this watch is impressive. It is now Master Chronometer (METAS) certified, ensuring absolute chronometric precision, advanced antimagnetic resistance, and water resistance to 200 meters. It ticks all the boxes of a modern diver's watch... with added style.

And as is often the case with TUDOR, a discreet nod flatters enthusiasts: this BB58 Burgundy 2025 pays homage to a unique prototype from the 1990s, possibly reference 79180 or 79190, a secret but precious part of the brand's history.

In short?
Lunar. Crazy. Unfairly beautiful.
A watch that I fell in love with, a stroke of genius.

I fell in love. And you?
