My Bathys 100 Fathoms Quartz Watch Review on AskMen.com
As an entry level watch, this is still a hell of a timepiece from Bathys Hawaii. You get the great looking case done in a specially hardened metal, the iconic dial, a Swiss movement with a big date complication, and the durability you’ve come to expect from all the hype. Plus, you get all the brand persona that Bathys has worked hard and deservingly, to get. At $650 you start with this Bathys 100 Fathoms watch and can easily work your way up.See my Bathys 100 Fathoms Quartz Watch Review on AskMen.com here.
Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture Watch Hands-On
One watch that I certainly didn’t want to miss discussing in 2012 is the new range of Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture watches. Upped in size and details, the Marine Chronometer Manufacture watches also contain the long awaited in-house made Ulysse Nardin calibre UN-118 automatic movement. While these are not rapid departures from the existing Marine collection, they are handsome watches with good movements and a character that has never before been more “Ulysse Nardin.”The story of the UN-118 automatic movement is rather long. Finished a while ago, the movement experienced some production delays due to the complexity of industrialization. While Ulysse Nardin is not a stranger to producing movements or movement modules, the UN-118 was to be their first in-house made “more basic” movement that was produced in more than just small quantities.
