Presented in a lightweight titanium body, the new Technomarine BlackReef Ti Ultimate watch features a highly reliably Swiss made automatic movement and is adorned with whole 54 precious stones covering its unidirectional rotating bezel. So far, this is the most bizarre diver that I’ve seen this year.
Here comes another good one from the young American watchmakers. Called Deep Blue Daynight Recon T100 White, the new semi-professional diver gives you an easily recognizable design with elegant dial sporting luminous tritium tubes and a pretty much impressive water resistance rating of 500 meters.
The American brand Deep Blue has introduced a (more than) affordable diver to its vast collection of tool watches. Currently offered at only $399 (the normal price is $499, shipping is not included in both cases), the new Deep Blue DayNight T100 OPS Diver features a rugged exterior design combined with a water resistance rating of 500 meters and an easily readable dial with twenty flat tritium tubes of different colors.
It’s been just over two months since the Swiss brand presented a limited edition of its Chronomat 41 chronograph, and now the company with the winged B in its logo presented a new version of its 44 mm automatic chrono. Called Breitling Chronomat Frecce Tricolori 44 and limited to just 1000 pieces, the new watch bears the emblem of the Italian Air Force aerobatic demonstration team.
The new Dievas Shadow Stealth automatic diving watch looks like a product of a very successful crossbreeding between their Focal and Reaper tactical timekeepers. Featuring a highly contrast black-and-yellow color scheme, the watch also offers an extremely scratch-resistant black finish, since its stainless steel body is hardened in a sort of carbon bath and then treated with plasma, which forms a very thin, but also very hard coating on its surface.
The young American watchmaking brand updates its CalDiver 500 small family of large diving watches with a yet new edition. Called Deep Blue CalDiver USA 500, the new watch differs from its siblings not only with a restyled dial, but also with a silk screen USA flag, which is combined with the brand’s logo and is clearly visible through the transparent case back of the piece.
The new Deep Blue Daynight Recon 500M automatic diver looks like one of the most attractive tool watches on the market. Rated for 500 meters of water resistance, the watch features a case, which is not only robust, but also dressy, and a unidirectional 120-click rotating bezel that, thanks to its ceramic bezel inlay and Superluminova-painted indices, is not just easily readable, but also a real pleasure to look at!
The new Luminox Deep Dive 500M automatic diving watch looks like a minor facelift of their last year’s Luminox Deep Dive LLT military diver with a less tactical, more civilian touch to it. Instead of the stealthy black body, the latest version of the timekeeper sports a satin-finished steel body and a more traditional rotating bezel that now sports a painted aluminum insert. Still, the watch keeps the signature features of the earlier model with its patent pending bezel locking system that also acts as a crown protector and sports the same impressive power reserve rating of whole 50 ATM.
Mostly known for their “tributes” to more expensive, legendary models like Rolex Submariner, IWC Portuguese and the likes, the British-based watchmaking brand, however, sometimes offers a lot more original watches of their own design. The new Chr. Ward Makaira Pro 500 (Ref. C11-MAK-SKWSI) diving watch belongs to the latter breed of timekeepers that an enthusiast can easily wear without losing a tiniest bit of his self-respect.
The new iteration of the affordable, yet very nicely designed Victorinox Swiss Army Dive Master 500 family of diving watches was announced back in March. Rated for a pretty much impressive depth of 500 meters, recently these timekeepers started to appear in online shops around the world. Available with quartz and self-winding mechanical movements, the watch is offered in a unisex 38 mm and a more masculine 43 mm body, which seems to be the best choice for a budget-conscious customer.
