Glycine Combat Golden Eye Automatic Diver

Glycine Combat Golden Eye Automatic diving watch (Ref. 3863.399 C6-TBA9)

Glycine has finally updated its military-styled 'Combat' collection with a new version. Featuring a black PVD-treated case with rose gold PVD elements, the timekeeper is -sort of pretentiously- named Glycine Combat Golden Eye (Ref. 3863.399 C6-TBA9). Well, I hope that next year they will offer the same model with the bezel and crown crafted from bronze. Although not as flashy (if you can apply the adjective to such a noble alloy with its aura of adventure and glory,) on certain markets it's going to be smashing.

Your First Swiss-Made: Certina DS1 “Double Security”

Certina DS1 "Double Security" (ref. C006.407.16.088.00) automatic watch

Even though Certina DS1 "Double Security" (ref. C006.407.16.088.00) offers a pretty generic design, it is a nice entry-level model for those high-school graduates still dreaming about their first dress watch with the legendary "Swiss Made" inscription on the dial, which is said to be adding at least +10 to mating abilities and +25 to personal charisma.

Archimede Pilot H Reintroduced in a Smaller Case

Archimede Pilot 39H Historic Automatic

Around three years ago, Archimede has revealed its Pilot H limited-edition model. The Pilot H was a sort of "homage" to their successful Pilot Original that was powered by a vintage (so-called "New Old Stock") Junghans 687 hand-wound movement. This year, the German brand decided to bet on yet another iteration of the same timekeeper that is now introduced in a smaller case. Meet the "historic" Archimede Pilot 39H!

Dievas Focal 500M Automatic Semi-Pro Diver

Dievas Focal 500M Automatic Diver

Dievas maybe not be particularly famous on the west side of the Pond. Still, it doesn't keep the brand from expanding its model range of professional (or I'd instead call them "semi-pro entry-luxury") diving watches. The Dievas Focal automatic diver, for example, not only offers an impressive WR rating of 500 meters (50 ATM) and comes powered by a high-grade Swiss-made self-winding caliber, but also features an interesting exterior that will appeal to those in love with the legendary Bauhaus movement.
