With its impressive water resistance rating of 50 ATM and a nicely executed cushion-shaped body, the new UTS Adventure GMT diver is the first timepiece from the German brand that can be used not only as a tool, but as an accessory, too (of course, only if you don’t mind its hefty weight and the deliberately oversized body, which is around 46 millimeters in width).

Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Moon Phase
During the Baselworld 2010 trade show, Seiko introduced one of the most brilliant members of the Ananta series: the Ananta Spring Drive Moon Phase (ref. SNR023). Although coming with virtually no decoration that we usually expect from a European brand, the new timepiece looks as refined as a ceremonial Tachi sword.
Eberhard & Co. Chrono4 BADBOY Automatic Chronograph
At the beginning of this year, Eberhard & Co. extended its Chrono4 line of automatic chronographs with a sportier Chrono4 BADBOY (ref. 31060). Featuring a bold and energetic, yet “industrial” design, which combines a monochromatic color scheme of steel and rubber with only small red accents here and there, it leaves a somewhat ambiguous impression and, like the famous black licorice, should be sold under a “Love it or hate it, Whatever” slogan.
Linde Werdelin 3-Timer GMT series updated
The Swiss-based luxury watchmaker of Scandinavian descent has updated the 2009 Linde Werdelin 3-Timer GMT with a new material/color combination.
Hamilton RailRoad Automatic Chronograph 46 mm
In any family there must be big brother to watch over the rest of the kids. The former American and now proudly Swiss-based brand apparently agrees to the principle and offers this new Hamilton RailRoad Automatic Chronograph (ref. H40686335) as the biggest member of the new RailRoad collection launched for this year. The only problem here is that there is just not enough family resemblance between the 46-millimeter model and the rest of the gang.
Casio G-Shock GIEZ GS1300B-1A chronograph
Coming in an easily recognizable sporty exterior and having its case treated with a scratch-resistant ion-plated ‘patina’, the Casio G-Shock GIEZ GS1300B-1A quartz chronograph is literally stuffed with advanced technology. Its main problem, perhaps, is the lack of its own identity, but that’s probably the whole idea behind the G-Shock line of extra-durable timekeepers: everybody must know at the first glance what he or she is dealing with.
