Dive Watch Wednesday: Two Swiss-Made, Affordable Dive Watches That Got Better Over Time
Tissot and Certina are Swiss brands, both part of the Swatch Group, that currently offer mechanical dive watch models priced below $1,000 �� the Tissot Seastar 1000 and?Certina DS Action Diver. These watches also have something else in common: both were improved shortly after their launch, which makes them an even more attractive option to those in search of an affordable Swiss made dive watch.The 43-mm Certina DS Action Diver was first introduced at Baselworld in 2011 in stainless steel (Ref. C013.407.11.051.00) and titanium (Ref. C013.407.44.081.00). A 45-mm chronograph version followed in 2012 (Ref. C013.427.11.051.00), and a blue-dial version in 2013 (Ref. C013.407.11.041.00).

Quantity and price of Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch
The Platinum version is in addition to a version of the 40th anniversary watch, which will be also limited edition, but 7 969 pieces instead of 69 pieces for the Platinum version stainless steel.

I would say that the price for the Platinum version is $ 100,000 more. Still a good pace shows, but have that they it too far? We will know only after seeing that Omega returns with the 50th anniversary in 10 years. Tags: 40, 40th, anniversary, moon, moonwatch, Omega, Platinum, professional, speedmaster, watch
