The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

I didn't have a GMT watch in my collection, and I must admit I'd been thinking about it for a while. With a limited budget of between €3,000 and €3,500 maximum, my options were limited. I initially considered the 39mm Longines Spirit Zulu. However, I asked my authorized dealer to let me try on the HydroConquest GMT and a Seiko GMT. As a fan of dive watches, the HydroConquest GMT immediately appealed to me. First, its 41mm diameter sits well on my wrist, which is only 16.5cm, and its bracelet, with its tool-free fine adjustment, is incredibly easy to adjust, especially since it features half links, making it very simple to find the right fit for comfortable wear. Its sunburst olive dial catches the light beautifully, allowing for varying shades of light and dark. The gold hour markers complement the dial perfectly. Incidentally, I noticed that the date disc matches the dial color, and the date numerals match the hour markers—a very pleasing detail. Its ceramic bezel ensures scratch resistance. The case is entirely brushed, reinforcing the watch's tool-like appearance. The GMT function is indicated on a disc outside the dial, as the bezel is graduated for dive time counting. Speaking of which, its movement is a true GMT. This means that only the local time can be adjusted without affecting the minute hand. Water-resistant to 300 meters, with a GMT function and a mesmerizing dial that exudes elegance, this watch is capable of shining in the evening, at the beach, while traveling, and is even suitable for diving. This Longines is truly versatile...

I'm driving my Formula Ford. I arrive at the entrance to the steep slope on the Spa circuit, a quick glance at my Oris ChronOris to know the time I have left before victory ✌️...

I raise my head... hard return to reality, I'm at the office and I still have 2 hours of work left. The only consolation is that my Oris chronOris is uncompromising on the time. Its sw200-1 caliber is no joke. To pass the time, I can always look at its orange second hand reminiscent of the needle of speedometers from the 70s/80s. Unless I linger on its black dial, smooth at its ends like the track, or with the central graining that evokes asphalt. The brushed case typical of the seventies, with its polished sides, serves as a rearview mirror, I can see who is coming behind me.... ola it's my boss... At work, but first, let's wash our hands. Damn, I drowned my Oris ChronOris under the tap, phew, luckily it is water-resistant to 100m. The golden hour and minute hand indicates to me on a well-graduated railway that it is almost time to leave. This ChronOris is definitely at home everywhere. On the track, at the office or on the weekend...

You will have understood, this watch inspires reverie and an era made of beautiful human conquests.... Small specificity, it is the Movember model, an association working in the field of men's health...

1970 Oris ChronOris 

The Tudor Ranger is a historic model. Inspired by the Tudor Oyster Prince that equipped the members of the British North Greenland Expedition that took place from 1952 to 1954. Tudor showed its know-how and robustness during this expedition. The Ranger is therefore the descendant of the one that was created in 1964, I think. The Ranger is simple, extremely readable, a single glance is enough to read the time. I like this tool watch side that inspires solidity. I also appreciate the cream-colored indexes that give it a very vintage look. This is what I like most about this dial. The hands are well proportioned with a hint of red at the end of the second hand. It adds a bit of color. The satin brushed finish of the case and bracelet is really very well executed. The fine adjustment of the bracelet is also a real plus and its clasp is well finished. The Ranger caliber offers 70 hours of power reserve. It is also a real plus even if for me it is not a subject. Conclusion, for those looking for a reliable, simple watch that exudes quality, the Ranger is made for them...

Field watch

First of all, a little feedback on the context of the purchase of this watch. It's 2020, the French are confined, so I spend time in front of my computer looking at watches. And the more you look, the more you want...

So, I set myself a budget of around €600 to €700 at the time. I also wanted a diver. My choice was oriented towards the Tissot seastar 1000. Tissot being a brand that has nothing more to prove in the world of watchmaking.

The first thing I saw was its sunray blue dial which catches the light incredibly. Then I appreciated its applied indexes which give it a qualitative side. Concerning the flange, it is made of plastic and that spoils a little the "beautiful watch" side. Concerning the case, it is 43mm and the polished horns make it a shiny watch, especially with its very visible dial and its ceramic bezel. It's also big! Especially since I don't have a big wrist. On the plus side, the case back is open and protected by a sapphire crystal. Surprising for a watch that is water-resistant to 300m. 

The caliber delivers 80 hours of power reserve, and I find it precise, barely 2 seconds per day of drift. It's really good in its price range. 

Not much to say about the rubber strap I chose. It's comfortable, nothing more with a pin buckle. 

Conclusion, I bought this watch without having seen it and tried it. It has qualities, such as its water-resistance to 300m, its open case back, its magnificent dial, its resistant ceramic bezel and its reliable, precise, enduring caliber. But it also has flaws that I hadn't necessarily assessed when I bought it. Its large diameter that does not suit everyone as well as its polished horns and its ceramic bezel (we have the defect of its qualities) which make it shine and make it sensitive to scratches. In my humble opinion, try before buying...

The Big Blue

As a fan of diving watches, I wanted a watch brand recognized in the diving watch world. Especially since it was to mark my 50th birthday. Having equipped the French Navy, Tudor corresponded to my specifications. I opted for the BB58 because it was more versatile than the Pelagos. The Navy represents the Tudor spirit more than the Gilt with its "Tudor blue" color. In my opinion, it gives it more personality. The finish seems to me to be very well made with its polished chamfers which give it a classy side. As for the movement, the MT 5402 with its 70h RDM, perfectly meets my expectations, COSC, it is very precise. It is a watch that I trust. The only downside is that the bracelet would deserve a fine adjustment. This BB58 won me over...

If there was only one left...

Looking for a watch with a military past, I looked for a model with a heritage. Many brands met my criteria. Unfortunately, the historical models were out of my budget. That's when I discovered Auricoste and particularly the Spirotechnique. The military past of this brand spoke to me. The multiple partnerships with French and foreign military authorities seduced me. Not to mention the fabulous history of the Spirotechnique which worked to make diving accessible.

The Spirotechnique is a diving watch, waterproof to 300m. For me it represents a perfect tribute to the original that equipped the French Navy. Its 42 mm "aircraft carrier" shaped case with its fully brushed crown at 4 o'clock affirms a certain solidity. The matte black dial is really made to have the best readability and the white painted indexes make the task easier. Finally, the good-sized hands are perfectly adapted.

The only flaw I noticed was a bit of play in the rotating bezel, but nothing prohibitive. The detail I love is easy....The Spirotechnique logo on the dial.

The Heiress

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?
