Luminox Supports 30-Mile Dive To Highlight Endangered Sharks; Launches Limited Edition Watches
On September 17, undersea explorer and combat diver Scott Cassell completed a 30-mile dive from Catalina Island to San Pedro, California. Scott’s goals: to call attention to endangered shark species that are approaching the edge of extinction, and to set a world distance record for the longest uninterrupted dive. Find specs and prices for the new watches inside. The dive took place in the Catalina Channel where Cassell has been diving for years. According to Cassell, less than 20 years ago this area would have produced between 40 and 100 shark sightings in a single dive. On Saturday however, he encountered literally no sharks during his 11 hours underwater, despite using shark attractors during the entire dive. That result confirmed the tremendous decrease in the local shark population. Cassell was forced to give up his world record dreams when an equipment malfunction caused him to black out underwater, forcing him to the surface at the 5 hour mark. Though the record was lost,

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With "Liquidmetal" Ceramic Bezel
Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum. Sure you can replace the bezels. but it is a pain, and not something you want to do when paying a lot for a diver's watch.(UPDATE): Turns out liquid metal is something else, not the ceramic part of the watch. Liquidmetal seems to be a special titanium alloy that has the manufacturing process of plastic. Thus it is very malleable. Omega uses Liquid metal at least in parts of

The Value Proposition: Eterna's ��Majetek�� Pilot's Watch For The Czech Air Force
Watches are inextricably linked with the armed forces. Without trivializing the enormous impact of war on human existence, it’s fascinating to note the range of models produced by legendary watchmakers for use by soldiers around the world, like iconic MilSub’s or Mark XI’s. Compared to these relatively well known military-issue watches, there is one model that stands out for its simplicity and unexpected good looks: the Majetek pilot’s watch issued to members of the Czech Air Force in the late 1930's and early '40’s. Together, the cushion-shaped case, black dial, and simple Arabic hour numerals form a sharp package that looks just as relevant today as it was back then. And the Majetek also stands out for its affordability relative to other military watches of that time currently available on the vintage market. 2 OF 8 This military-spec example features engraved numbers on the solid case back. Some models also feature double-sword insig

Submariner Date for a PAM 312?
Hey guys, I have been admiring your Panerai pieces for a while, especially the 312. The strap combos are just incredible. I purchased the Rolex Submariner Date (V series) less than a year ago, and I am considering a trade + cash for the 312. Owning both is not an option at this point. In your opinions, would it be a bad move? As we all know the Sub goes well with just about everything, how about the 312?Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts ...
