Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ Watch For 2015 America's Cup
For 2015,?Omega releases a new version of their Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph with another model in celebration of their sponsorship of the America's Cup ETNZ team (Emirates Team New Zealand). A revised version of an existing model, this Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ has a refreshed dial that is a bit more "nautical," a titanium case, and a new rubber strap which has black on the outside and red on the inside. All the black/gray tones along with red are in honor of the ETNZ racing yacht colors.In 2013, watches-dealer joined Omega in San Francisco to hear more about their partnership with ETNZ in anticipation of that year's America's Cup, where I went hands-on with that year's Seamaster Diver 300M ETNZ Limited Edition watch (which I really liked). Actually, it does not appear as though this 2015 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ watch is a limited edition - even though it is technically a continuation of the earlier model series.Whil

Seiko Prospex Kinetic GMT SUN019P1 Review
One of the most exciting announcements at Basel last year was that Seiko was going to be bringing their coveted Prospex line to US soil. Amongst Seiko collectors and enthusiasts, the Prospex line has always been home to some of the most sought after sports models. Watches with good mechanical movements and tough cases. And while there have always been ways to get them if you were in-the-know, now that they are officially here (even being available in shop at Seiko's Madison ave store) the deed is easier.Bringing the line over wasn't the only news of course, they also had new watches and the Prospex Kinetic GMT SUN019P1 really stood out amongst the offerings. A beast of a diver, the watch had strong hints of Seiko's famous Tuna divers in both the case and the dial, but was its own thing with a new design. It just rang of what Seiko does well, especially in the case, so I knew we had to get one for review when possible. Design aside, it also is the first watch we've featured on w&w w

Best Clasp...SMP or Speedy ??
It's no secret....My favorite Omegas are the Speedy Pro and the Seamaster Pro (with swords). Both of these watches come with identical bracelets; one of the most comfortable on the market.However, they each come with a different clasp.The Speedy comes with a slightly smaller clasp, but it is equipped with a couple of micro holes for adjustment, a nice touch. Unfortunately, the smaller clasp allows much of the deployant clamshell to fit under the links and while not a huge issue, does make it slightly less well thought out.The SMP comes with a slightly longer clasp to hide the divers extension link so the deployant is covered by the clasp, but any adjustment needs to be done by adding or removing links...even for a slight seasonal comfort change.Overall, I would like to see the Speedy come equipped with the larger SMP clasp. The real winner would be if they put a couple of micro holes in the SMP clasp and fitted it to all their Pro line.Semaster Pro on the left and Speedy Pro on the
