Seiko Deepens Prospex Watch Line With The Marinemaster Kinetic Direct Drive
I am convinced that Seiko loves their dive watches most of all. Not only do their dive watches get to sample each fragment of new technology that they release, but dive styled watches fall at the bottom and top of Seiko's watch line from a price perspective. One result is a dizzying array of diving watches available from Seiko. I'll never be able to wrap my head around their many models, and Seiko has succeeded in keeping my interest on their new releases to see what they come out with next.Relatively new is the new Seiko Prospex Marinemaster with the Kinetic Direct Drive movement model SBDD001. The Kinetic Direct Drive movement fits in between the normal Kinetic movement and the Seiko Spring Drive. See here for the explanation of the various Seiko movements especially the Direct Drive. From the most basic of views, you have a typically styled high-end Seiko dive watch with some special features. Most important is the Kinetic Direct Drive and the corresponding power gauge on the dial.

Omega Memomatic Back From Service
I just Picked up my vintage Omega Memomatic from my watchmaker after a movement service, case refinish (by ABC Watchwerks of course), and new factory Crystal and alarm crown replacement.The dial and hands are all original and I must say it looks absolutely showcase new again...a very rare and under appreciated vintage Omega reference with an alarm feature that uses the same power source as the movement and can be set to the minute...both very innovative for their time when introduced in 1969.Here is a wrist shot...
