Hello beautiful community,

Wanted to share my humble and beloved collection with you all. Every watch represents something to me, and I’m not an impulsive buyer. I put a lot of thought and time before pulling the trigger.

I’ll give you a summary, in chronological order:

Timex Weekender Chronograph (2017): My dear blue watch that has been with me daily back then, in many adventures, as my only watch, before watches became an obsession.
Victorinox INOX (2018): Another quartz tank, built to last (went through 120 tests of resistance as a tribute to 120 years of the brand). This holds a special place in my heart since it was a birthday gift from my parents. Heavily worn for years.
Seiko 5 SNK803K2 (2019): My very first Automatic watch. Gave me a different perspective on watches since it’s a) purpose built (field), b) mechanic, and c) only 37mm. I love it more and more as time goes by.
Laco Augsburg 42 (2022): At this point I still have limited budget but a deep interest in the horological world. I found this pilot watch from a brand that has more history than it’s credited for. It’s a fantastic daily beater, easy to set, easy to read, no non-sense. I still love to wear it.
Omega Seamaster SMP300 (2022): Here things got really serious. I just moved to Europe, over-performed at my job, and became 30 years old. At the end of the year, on my way back home (Brazil), I stopped at Gassan (Schipol airport), aiming to get a BlackBay 58. But I tried this on and I was just drawn to it, hypnotised… so I had to pull the trigger. It was my most expensive purchase ever, my legs were shaking. I remember having a beer and 3 glasses of Makers Mark after to calm down, and I couldn’t stop smiling! This is my pride and joy and wouldn’t change it for anything. I enjoy every single minute it’s on my wrist.
Unimatic UC2 (2025): By now I’m deep into watches, and micro brands are really growing on me. I went to Milano and had to stop by the Unimatic boutique. I went there because I wanted my first GMT, the UT4. But once I tried this one I just couldn’t resist its robust yet minimalistic and timeless design - I got it. And I LOVE it. Perfect for daily use in any circumstance. It just works.
Omega Railmaster Blue Denim(2026): my latest purchase. After looking around for a long time for something with an outstanding movement, well proportioned, discrete, and unique, I found this piece to be the perfect intersection of all of that. Fully brushed, unique dial, co-axial movement, and honestly, I’ve never seen and don’t know anyone who owns one, which attracts me. It’s an understated watch. I must say that the lack of microadjustment is definitely something that bothers me since it’s an amazing feature from my SMP300 that ensures I always have the best fit. But I like it… it’s growing on me as time goes by.

What is next?
Well, I’m torn between a Speedy(to complete my omega Trilogy) and an Explorer II 16570 Polar dial to satisfy both my wish for a GMT and a white dial. I appreciate your opinion if you’d like to share.

Thank you so much for reading!

P.S.: My wrist size is 18,5cm
