Along with useful explanations of diving terms and tools, Jack also meditates on the idea of a "summer watch." Now that we link are in that weird post-Labor Day summer/fall limbo state, the idea of such a rigid classification seems fairly superfluous. The post is full of great points, technical specs, good photos, and somewhat surprisingly, a brief work of fiction at the very link end.

Is the Futurematic the world-beater that LeCoultre imagined link it would be in the early '50s? Not in the least. It remains fussy and link difficult. Neither of us can wear our examples in the rain, we can't keep link them on our wrists while biking, or while working in the garden. But the point isn't in their ease, or that they can't go everywhere and do everything.

Every time I thought my preference was for the all-gold I would spot the two-tone on link the other end of the table and ask to see it a second and link third time. It's the sort of combo of watches where there's no wrong choice just link a vast difference in price with the two-tone costing CHF 15700 and the all-gold CHF 37100. Don't tempt me with a good time.
