Here three watches in my collection which never fail …

… to bring a big smile in my face when wearing them!
My Rolex Submariner ref 1680 Red.
This oldie reminds me my far youth in the mid 1960’s my early love for Rolex brand, my passion for becoming an Scuba diver and everything related to the U/W world. It also brings me images of memorable dives (many with my children when they became certified divers too) beautiful far places visited and nice people I met on my trips.
My Speedmaster Moonshine:
It reminds me the excitement and fast pounding of my heart when I read the first news about Omega launching this watch in early 2019. I felt I badly needed this watch which is a very faithful re edition of the original Tribute to Astronauts of 1969 and its intimate connection with the heroic saga which allowed men to arrive to the Moon wearing a Speedmaster on their wrists. It also reminds me watching TV with awe together with my Dad that historical day of July 1969 when Armstrong set his feet on the Moon surface.
My third “big smile maker” watch is very special to me:
My Flightmaster reminds me about a good friend (you know him well) and the fact that a strong friendship can be reached through our passion for watches no matter the distances or places where we live.
Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friends!
