Zodiac’s Super Sea Wolf

Zodiac’s rich history dates all the way back to 1882, and they dove deep into the archives to pull inspiration for their latest Super Sea Wolf GMT watch. Powered by Swiss-made automatic movement, this is a modern rendition of their original 1966 Aerospace GMT model that was first imagined during the heart of the Space Race.

The super stealth all-black design is a handsome twist to other dive watches that also looks great out on the town. Sleek, uniquely styled, and wickedly powerful, this is a timepiece handmade for adventures out on the water.

This bad boy is powered by a Swiss-made C125 automatic three-hand movement that winds itself with the movement of your wrist. The case is made of stainless steel, 42 mm in diameter, and water resistant up to 300 meters.

Sports Car for your Wrist

Porsche just unveiled a program to let you design your watch to match your car. They’ve developed a special watch configurator that lets you tailor the Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1 luxury watch. All available configuration options are derived from the Porsche 911. The use of the high-tech material titanium is a tribute to the lightweight construction of the legendary sports car, while the color options available for the timepieces are inspired by its interior and exterior colors, and the rotors are derived from the wheel designs of the 911.

Customize from the case and the strap to personalized engraving. Once the configuration is complete, you will receive a unique code. You can then submit the code to any authorized Porsche dealer or Porsche Design retail store to order your custom-built timepiece.

Check out the Porsche Design online watch configurator to explore the multitude of combinations, and design your very own timepiece that suits you.

Here’s the custom-built Timepiece specially created by LeMans champion Hans-Joachim Stuck. His is derived from ‘his’ colors: the vibrant Speed Blue is a reference to the paintwork of his 962C and his helmet adorned with white stars.

Your watch will be handcrafted according to your specifications at the Porsche Design watch manufacturer in Switzerland. Allow up to 12 weeks after placing the order.

Squale 1000m Dive Watch

The Squale 101 ATMOS Ref. 2002 watch is a remake of the original 101ATMOS from the 70s, and it’s a beast (in a good way). Made in Switzerland, the new Squale 2002 model is a 1000 meter dive watch that has the famous snap-on uni-directional bezel and 3.5mm thick sapphire crystal with a double gasket to ensure outstanding water resistance.

The unique black bezel insert is made of hard bakelite that is colored in a multi-stage process. First the phosphorescent material is applied by hand, followed by coloring with varnishes immune to seawater corrosion, and then application to the supporting steel substrate. This guarantees excellent bezel legibility. Like the vintage Squale model that inspired it, the bezel can always be unscrewed from above.

Squale may not be a watch brand you’re familiar with, but you probably should be. In their early days, Squale produced watches and watch cases for various Swiss brands who didn’t have the knowledge to build their own professional dive timepieces. The smaller brands used the Squale logo on their dial as a sign of quality. In 1950, Squale began to produce their own range of professional diving watches under the Squale name, marking the beginning of the brand’s institutional history.

Bell & Ross Diver Watch

Bell & Ross is releasing the BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM, a purpose-built watch with divers in mind, Other than just being handsome and diver certified, the most important attribute is its fully luminescent dial and markers to be readable at deep, dark depths.

The watch maker designed this model to meet the international standard ISO 6425 to achieve diving watch certification. The 42 mm ceramic case is water-resistant up to 300 meters, has a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated minutes scale, an operation indicator and luminescent markers, and is legible in low-light conditions. The watch is ruggedized, thanks to its anti-shock and anti-magnetic protection.

Bell & Ross adapted their Lum concept to its diving collection with inverted contrasts and reversed the traditional principles of day and night legibility while also incorporating different shades of luminescence so that it illuminates properly at deep depths. The ultra-phosphorescent green dial allows for continued legible reading of time even when things are pitch black.
