Victorinox Dive Master 500 and INOX Line
Victorinox is most well known for their iconic Swiss Army Knives, which they’ve made for 130 years. However, they also make some great affordable watches. To celebrate their 25th year of watchmaking, they are introducing two new models, the Diver Master 500 and the INOX.The Dive Master 500 is a chronograph diver that is limited to 500 pieces. The 43mm titanium case is sandblasted to a matte gray finish, as is the bracelet. It has a screw down crown and pushers, giving it a water resistant rating to 500 meters, with a helium release valve at 9 o’clock. It features an ETA caliber 2894-2 automatic movement with 12 hour chronograph.The dial is the same monochrome gray, giving it a stealthy look, with brightly colored lume that is applied generously. The sub-dials have outer tracks that are lumed, as well as a swath from 0 to 20 minutes. The unidirectional divers bezel has lumed numbers from 0 to 20 as well.

Basic Speedmaster pro question
So very naive question. I have a Speedmaster automatic date with panda dial and really enjoy it. But I've been thinking of a speedy pro lately. Just seems like a classic for any watch collection and I may want one. But I was surprised and uneducated about the many different versions of the speedy pro. So what's the skinny? Can anyone give a brief summary of things a non educated omega speedy shopper should know before buying? Differences to look for, which current model is the classic moonwatch heir, etc. For example, all of my watches are sapphire, but it seems like a lot of people prefer the hesalite. How is that to own, take care of etc. thanks in advance.

PO strap options
I have a 45.5 PO chrono on the bracelet and have tried the rubber dive strap (which seems kind of wimpy) and an Omega rubber w/ orange stitching strap. Does anyone have pictures of the PO on a Nato/Zulu, Kevlar or Sailcloth type strap? The size of the watch really needs a substantial strap. Thanks for any pics.
