NEWS WATCHES

Diving with Citizen Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter Watch
The Citizen Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter has existed in evolving forms for many years as a popular dive watch choice for those looking to measure their depth as well as the time under water. As an amateur diver and watch lover, I make use of my dive/tool watches to actually dive. This is especially interesting, since even with the omnipresence of dive computers, a dive watch, in my opinion, remains important while diving as it provides the secondary method (backup plan) for timing that any diver knows is critical and potentially life saving if something were to go awry.Some of the most complicated modern mechanical dive watches are the ones that have depth gauges. Not that typical dive computers do not include a depth measurement feature, but again, as a secondary source of redundancy, the dive watch with depth gauge is highly usable and practical.
Urwerk EMC Pistol Watch
When it comes to high-end avant-garde watches, those coming from the crew over at Urwerk really need no introduction.?They are wonderful flights of fancy, showing what can be done with imaginative recasting of the elements of a watch, while taking things in a very hard-edged sci-fi direction.?For all that futurism, their latest, the?Urwerk EMC Pistol, brings in a very old-school type of finishing.That, of course, would be the hand-engraving on the?Urwerk EMC Pistol watch.?The Pistol portion of the name comes directly from that technique, actually.?The man who does that work on the cases,?Florian Gullert, more often performs his craft on firearms. Now, this is not the first time we have seen this applied to watches, but all the same, I am a fan of this type of handiwork on a watch case. Likely because, no matter the make, it simply gives the watch a look you do not see many places these days.
