Timex Depth Gauge Diver

Big fan of Timex’s Intelligent Quartz range.

You certainly get a lot for not much money.

This particular model is a 46mm piece in stainless steel.

Being a more modest model, you get a mineral crystal, rather than sapphire, but you do get 200 metres water resistance (handy for a model branded ‘Diver’).

Movement is the German-designed TX caliber which has a number of tricks up its electronic sleeve: 60 meter depth gauge, thermometer, Indiglo lighting and low-battery indication.

And that cheap price? $250.

Bargain!

Tourby Lawless Diver

Nice to see a watch with a little Australian DNA – we don’t see too many of those.

Strictly speaking this is a German piece, but an Aussie by the name of Brendan Lawless had a hand in the design. The watch therefore carries his name.

It’s a 45.5mm piece in either stainless steel, or steel black DLC.

It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, and is water resistant to 500 meters.

Power from an ETA caliber 2824-2 with 25 jewels. Comes in standard or ‘Elaboree’ finish (whatever that might be! :-) ).

Priced at around the 1000 Euro mark.

I like the Neptune relief on the caseback.

Movement:  an automatic ETA caliber 2824-2 with 25 jewels.

Gc-3 Aquasport Color Boost Diver

Published by in Gc on May 18th, 2012 | No Comments »

It may be available for a snip at $600, but Gc’s Color Boost Diver brings a rather impressive 300m water resistance with it.

A 44mm piece, in stainless steel black PVD it has a sapphire crystal and a Swiss quartz movement.

A variety of colours (colors, sorry!) are available – including blue, yellow, red and white.

Oris Tubbataha Regulator Diver

An unusually named Oris diver, but there is a good reason for it.

The Tubbataha is a limited edition (2000 pieces) with a percentage from each sale going towards the conservation of the Tubbataha Reefs National Park in the Philippines.

“Rising from the volcanic depths of the Sulu Sea in the Western Philippines, Tubbataha Reefs National Park is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. These magnificent atolls support an unparalleled variety of marine creatures. Colourful reef fish crowd corals growing in the shallows while sharks and pelagic fish haunt the steep drop-offs to the open”

This is a 47mm piece, in titanium.

There’s a sapphire crystal and water resistance to a diver-friendly 500 meters.

It features a Helium escape valve and a blue ceramic bezel inlay.

Round the back is a shark motif: natives of the reef apparently.

Oris Aquis Titan Chronograph Diver

Another solid offering from Oris (in the very literal sense).

46mm in size, but thankfully the weight is kept down somewhat courtesy of a titanium case.

The crystal is sapphire and water resistance is to 500 meters (second model in a row with this fine attribute).

Power comes from the workhorse automatic ETA 7750 movement.

There’s also a screw-down stainless steel crown and stainless steel pushers with an automatic Helium escape valve at 9 o’clock.

Deep Blue World Diver GMT

A phalanx of Deep Blue World Divers for you.

This $699 piece is powered by a Japanese Miyota FS16 quartz movement.

In stainless steel, it’s 46mm in size.  There’s a sapphire crystal and a very commendable water resistance (for $700) to 500m.

Perrelet Turbine Diver

Perrelet have moved on from their risque prior offering (thankfully, some might say) and back to something a little more ‘normal’ in this Turbine Diver.

The main trick remains though – a spinning central turbine dial, powered via the Perrelet P-331 automatic double-rotor movement.

With a water resistance of 300m, this is a 47.5mm piece in stainless steel.

A black DLC version is also available.

Colour-wise you’ll be able to select from black or blue, with yellow or white trim.

The watch comes wearing a black or blue rubber strap.

Priced at between $6,550 and $7,200 depending on the desired spec.

Alpina Extreme Diver

Alpina have released their ‘Extreme Diver’, replete with suitable action shots (is a beach ‘extreme’?).

It’s a 44mm stainless steel piece, water resistant to a dive-worthy 300m.

Movement is the automatic caliber AL-525 – based on a Selita movement.  This has 26 jewels, a power reserve of 42 hours and a black PVD rotor.

You’ll have the choice of a black rubber strap, a metal bracelet or a mesh bracelet.

Do you like ‘open’ date indicators?  Not super keen myself.  The mesh version looks ok though.

What do you think?

TW Steel CEO Diver David Coulthard

Not that they ever would, but if someone asked me to design a tribute watch to David Coulthard I’d make it completely square, and very very boxy.

It only seems fair that the watch should mirror his head, don’t you think?

TW Steel clearly have more sense than I do, making their tribute watch more, err, watch shaped.

It’s still fittingly large though, at 48mm, in stainless steel.

And they’ve moved on from their usual quartz movement with this one too: inside beats a Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2836 with 25 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours.

The watch is water resistant to 200 meters and features a sapphire crystal.

As for DC: he didn’t win a championship, but he did notch up 13 F1 GP wins.

Which is 13 more than 99.99% of most other folks will.
