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).

New Official Star Wars Watches To Be Made By Nixon
May the 4th be with you! Today on May 4th, 2015 (the sort-of-official Star Wars day), California-based Nixon watches has announced an upcoming line of official Star Wars watches. Nixon has mentioned to us that this is a relationship they've taken very seriously from a design perspective and wanted their Star Wars watches to be more than branding exercises where Star Wars names and logos are slapped on a dial.
