Le Forban Sécurité Mer La Rochelaise

Le Forban Sécurité Mer La Rochelaise is praised for its well-considered 39mm geometry that allows it to wear thin, its use of a no-date Miyota 9039 movement without a ghost position, and its overall compelling package for the price. Owners consistently highlight its vintage proportions, excellent legibility, and comfortable wearability, with one owner noting it runs within COSC specifications. The inner rotating bezel is described as original, and the ocean-green dial is a point of appreciation, with one owner receiving many compliments. The price of €740 on strap and €790 on bracelet is considered on the higher end for revived microbrands, though not unreasonable, with some owners feeling it is too expensive for a Miyota movement. Criticisms include a desire for more signature on the secondary crown and a dislike for the red seconds hand from multiple owners.
