Ulysse Nardin Introduces A New Dive Watch Made From Recycled Ocean Plastic
If you’ve watched David Attenborough’s excellent A Life On Our Planet, you’ve already seen the grim timetable - our planet is at a tipping point, and anyone who’s not yet committed to be part of the solution (however great or small) is part of the problem. Ulysse Nardin falls in the former camp with its latest release: a concept watch based on the Diver X with a case entirely made from plastics upcycled from abandoned fishing nets. It’s a veritable drop in the ocean where, by comparison, over ten million combined tons of plastic and fishing nets are dumped or lost annually, disrupting the balance of delicate ecosystems and endangering scores of sea life along the way. But it’s a step in the right direction and a hint at what could be in store for other Ulysse Nardin watches in the future.

Luminox Steel Colormark 3150 Watch Hands-On
When most people think Luminox, they think of a design like this Steel Colormark 3150 watch. While Luminox is not the first brand that came up with this military diver style watch, they certainly helped propel it into the mainstream. In 1994, Luminox released the original Navy SEAL series 3000 watch that offered a great military watch with a Swiss quartz movement for a few hundred bucks. I remember seeing these sold at places such as The Sharper Image, as well as a host of other retailers. At 43mm wide, in black with tritium illumination, it was just a really cool guy’s watch.While the 3000 series watches are still produced, the follow-up model was the 3050 collection. A touch bigger at 44mm wide, the 3050 series pieces were really just a bolder looking watch. It was like Luminox upped the size of everything, from the thickness of the lugs to the font on the dial and bezel. Though, the 3000 and 3050 series watches are very much in the same vein when it comes to design.
