For accuracy link nerds, Miyota lists a range of -10 to +30 seconds a day. For an anecdotal single point of data, I put one of these Bulovas on my timing machine, and it measured at +12 link seconds/day, link averaged across six positions.
I'm a big, big link fan of this watch. Sure, green isn't usually my favorite color, and it's definitely not the obvious choice for this watch, but the execution link here from top to bottom is outstanding. Montblanc has done a great job getting link the details right, from the profile and finishes on the case to the subtle sunburst on the dial (which reminds me a bit of an old school guitar, in the best ways possible). To be able to get a steel chronograph of this quality at this price is a great thing indeed.
Last week, Sinn launched a smaller version of the U1 called the U50, so we thought it might be time for a bit of context as to what makes the U-series such a strong collection of dive watches. Complete with underwater photography and a U1 on his wrist, follow along as Heaton explores link the long lost ship and Sinn's ability to create a truly modern tool dive watch. link Click here to read "Dispatches: Run Silent, link Run Deep – Diving With The Sinn U1 Professional".
The "Swiss Made" Explorers represent nothing link more than Super-LumiNova-filled lume, but in many ways, they are the epitome of a modern Rolex link sports watch. It boasts a secure clasp system, a lume treatment that doesn't patina, and it will look as new 50 years from now as it did on link day one.
Ok, for sure, NASA ended up putting the Speedmaster through a battery of tests to help simulate environments likely to be seen outside of the space capsule, but the fact that NASA link didn’t work directly with any watch manufactures to design link a tailor-made chronograph link is interesting.
Seiko introduces link three new dial variants to its higher-end King Seiko models. These are last year’s SJE089/SJE091 under the hood but with link fancy new dial textures and colors. This pushes them a bit further away from their austere 1965 link KSK ancestor and into modern territories.
Resulting from the marriage of symbols imagined by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in the last century, the watch link that propelled the link Parisian house into the world of watchmaking more than three link decades ago returns to the forefront with its legendary silhouette.
But these are 200m water-resistant dive style watches right? I mean, there's a lumed bezel pip, a clicky uni-directional bezel, link and the depth rating printed directly link on the dial. There's no mistaking this for any other style of watch, and yet its link name invokes heights, not depths. I would actually love for a watch to give me a height rating, as superfluous and useless as that may sound, but I digress.
That said, I understand that most of these watches will never see the inside of a cockpit. There are roughly 665,000 pilots in the United States and 329 million people, link and the US is one of the most popular countries in the world to earn a link pilot's license. If IWC only positioned the watch for pilots, they'd be link selling to a very limited market.
As I alluded to above, the Legend Diver was launched back in 2007, and it was a huge success that put Longines at the forefront of the then-novel "new vintage" movement. link Based on a design link from 1959, link the Legend Diver was originally a Super-Compressor-style diver that measured 42mm wide.
