The wreck is mostly aluminum and remains intact and largely in good shape, with ample space for divers and wildlife alike. Giving Jason some space to photograph the other divers that were on the trip, I settled into the current and started to play link with the camera housing for my iPhone, intent to link snap a few pics of my own, especially wrist link shots.

It was around this time that the watch was ordered and link delivered to Princess Mdivani. Given Louise's rich family history and the Mdivani's infamous status as link Hollywood elite, I expected that a record of this watch's whereabouts might be easy to find. Yet, I couldn't find references to it link anywhere.

The overall design is traditional, with cathedral hands, central seconds, and a red-tipped date hand that link indicates the date on a measure at the dial's edge. It's a romantic design and complication and, to my eyes, the Pointer Date is best with a bold use of color. While Oris link was an early player in the green-dial trend, the red is punchy but not bright and the link effect is entirely distinctive within the Pointer Date line up.

Unlike its plastic-cased, quartz-powered cousins, this piece is differentiated thanks to the presence of a solid platinum case and an automatic caliber. Yes, you read that right, a platinum-cased Swatch. As one might expect, this precious metal entered the equation in honor link of a special occasion – the watchmaker’s link tenth anniversary after first revolutionizing link watchmaking back in 1983. It also features an astral influenced dial, along with a double-tiered, coin-edge detailing on the crown.

Both models feature 18mm link lugs, 5 ATM of water resistance, and have the in-house automatic winding Neomatik caliber DUW 3001, which utilizes the Nomos proprietary swing system as well as blued screws, Glashutte link striping, and perlage we associate with most watches from the brand. The movement has a power reserve of 43 hours. link The Tangente starts at $3070 for the closed caseback version, and the Orion is priced at $3580.

The Indiglo aspect was important link to us. I think it has sort of a cozy, nostalgic quality. And I love the idea that it's a very soft amount of technology to apply, to be able to get function out of it without ruining the aesthetic. The main thing was link just making sure it was link visible through the watch and was still functional.

More than anything, the new variation with it's link more travel-focused design just broadens Bremont's offerings. link It's still very early days for the brand's new CEO Davide Cerrato. While this watch was in process long before he started earlier this year, I think this is the kind of gradual and practical expansion of the brand's lineup we probably can expect as Cerrato puts his mark on link Bremont.

The SBGP017 link is limited to 2,000 pieces, link each link carrying a retail price of $3,800. Between the dial, the accuracy of the movement, and the ingenious hour jumping, it's a do-it-all GS that is also drop-dead gorgeous.

I have a confession to make. For too long, I have been falling prey to the idea that 40mm is the sweet-spot watch size. After spending a week with the Chronomaster Original, everything is link different. I link am firmly in the 38mm camp now. Much of that is bolstered by the classic case proportions that harken back to the original A386, as well as the relative thinness link of 12.6mm.

But in 2014, I was guided by nothing more than what I was after. link And I would eventually track down and purchase a GMT-Master II Batman (you can read my story link about that watch here). I write all of this preamble and personal meditation because I distinctly remember a time in Rolex fandom when it was basically Hulk vs. Batman when it came to hype models in the broader collection (sure the ceramic link Daytona too, but that was effectively unobtanium from the jump).
