The self-winding movement ensures a power reserve of about 42 hours. The day and date apertures, respectively located at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock, are naturally integrated to the dial.

It was revitalized in 2024 with a strong purpose: breaking down the rules by democratizing the use of gemstones. As luxury watchmaking houses help themselves to malachite, lapis lazuli or Tiger\u2019s eye, Dennison reinterprets those gems through surprisingly affordable timepieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dennison1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47101\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ALD Dual Time Tiger Eye &amp; Marble In Gold model by Dennison.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on from this renewal, the ALD Dual Time model show its true colors. The dial is divided into 2 distinct natural stones: Tiger\u2019s eye on one side, black marble on the other. Such contrast isn\u2019t only here for aesthetic purposes \u2013 it allows an immediate display of 2 time zones. Each dial can be set independently thanks to 2 crowns located on both sides of the case. A simple and effective legibility solution. The 37 x 33.5mm gold PVD cushion case is refined, with a height of 6.05mm. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, it combines thinness, audacity and accessibility. A revival that doesn\u2019t lack character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dennison2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47102\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dial is divided into 2 distinct natural stones: Tiger\u2019s eye and black marble.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The material adds a magical layer. Naturally veinous, every gemstone is unique. Since each dial displays unmatched patterns, every model is different. Such singularity, usually reserved for much more expensive pieces, becomes the main point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dennison4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47103\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The solid yellow gold PVD case back is engraved with a sun-brushed pattern.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the reason behind such a pricing policy? First, the gemstones used here aren\u2019t precious nor rare: malachite is abundant in Africa and Russia, while Tiger\u2019s eye can easily be found across the African continent. Then, the quantity of material required for a dial is rather small. Finally, choosing a Ronda quartz movement helps controlling costs, contrary to a mechanical calibre, more complex and more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dennison3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47104\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dial provides an immediate display of two time zones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet let\u2019s not forget the essentials: craftsmanship. Carving a gemstone represents a delicate feat: veinous and fragile, they are likely to crack during the machining process. Here, Dennison demonstrates a true technical mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac760.95<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dennisonwatch.com\/products\/tiger-eye-marble-in-gold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See the technical details of the ALD Dual Time Tiger Eye &amp; Marble In Gold model<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dennisonwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dennison website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>G-SHOCK, G-Steel GST-B1000<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some watches go through time.

A 24-hour indicator is located at 3 o\u2019clock, while at 9 o\u2019clock, the chronograph measures up to 60 minutes with a precision down to the 1\/5 of a second.

The hands and indices are coated in Super-LumiNova\u00ae and ensure optimal legibility, even in the darkness. Besides, this quartz movement features an EOL (End Of Life) function that indicates the end of life of the battery in order to avoid any unplanned interruption (the seconds hand jolts every 4 seconds).<br>One of the qualities of this PR516 chronograph lies in its double-scale bezel: a tachymetric scale to measure an average speed, and a pulsometer one to measure heart rates. A bold detail that enhances the neo-racing identity of the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tissot3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47131\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The solid steel case back is engraved with a laurel wreath \u2013 a symbol of victory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac545<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tissotwatches.com\/en-gb\/T1494171101100.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See the technical details of the PR516 Quartz Chronograph<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tissotwatches.com\/en-gb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tissot website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"8 montres \u00e0 moins de 500 \u20ac !\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I5lUPPR4NUg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mywatch-en wp-block-embed-mywatch-en\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"d3xqEVl1ce\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/less-than-e500-our-8-reference-watches\/\">Less than \u20ac500: our 8 reference watches<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Less than \u20ac500: our 8 reference watches&#8221; &#8212; MyWatch EN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/less-than-e500-our-8-reference-watches\/embed\/#?secret=chOptHTbQU#?secret=d3xqEVl1ce\" data-secret=\"d3xqEVl1ce\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news: it is now possible to treat yourself with a real good watch for less than \u20ac1,000.
