As an individual with the zeal for diving sports and a fanatic of the magnificent flag colors, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer completes me. It’s so manly that no man out there should hesitate to it pick up anytime, any day.

Its exquisite red, blue and white decorations on its case, those luminous hands and dial markers, clever markings on the rubber band makes this “Deep Black” men watch a unique and indispensable timepiece.

Even though the black ceramic case has a diameter of 45.5 mm, I found it extremely comfortable on my wrist the first day I wore it. The watch’s irresistible ceramic bezel crafted with OMEGA LiquidMetal diving scale provides a beautiful glimpse of the New Zealand flag colors. It happened so quickly and within first ten minutes of diving, my patriotism was a notch higher. Underwater, it was just awesome.

Furthermore, an Emirates Team New Zealand logo in red rubber dominates its solid case back. Additional Challenger 35^th America’s Cup writing engraved on it makes this watch ooze a global feel the moment you strap it.

Other features include a sapphire crystal, classy18K gold indexes on the dial and a screw-in crown. By the way, you can dive up-to 600M before the watch gives in. Keep in mind that no matter the conditions during these kinds of expeditions, you won’t struggle to check the time because Omega Seamaster Planet’s MT ring has a flattering day or night display. Further steel is brought in by the 60 hours power reserve complemented by an automatic, caliber OMEGA 8906 movement just in case of an emergency.
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean chronometer is META- certified thereby importing with it some array of functions namely: hours, minutes, seconds, GMT, date and regatta timing, helium escape valve which is valuable during diving excursions. I won’t forget the incomparable diving experience while donning this time piece. 200M under, you will notice how its unidirectional rotating bezel feels extremely smooth, making operations a breeze, this was definitely another big plus.

The standard time was separated into four different time zones in the region and since then it was adopted and is still used as the formal time scheme.

Ball Watch Co. Fireman NECC U.S Navy Expeditionary Combat Commando Diver Automatic DM3090A-P4J-BK Black Mens Watch Review 2017

Our first impression of the Ball Fireman NECC watch is that the timepiece is crisp and clean. The very extreme white Arabic numbers on the bezel look so nice contrasted against the black bezel. Like most all Ball watches,  this piece includes gas tubes with make this watch extremely luminescent, and maybe one of the most readable watches I have had on my wrist.  The rubber strap fits my wrist well do to the fact that the strap can taper at a 90 degree angle to the watch, which allows the strap to hug your wrist. The antireflective sapphire crystal make it feel as though there is no crystal at all, the clarity is amazing. Although you will never see the anti-shock system inside this watch you can rest assure that it is at work protecting your watch from most shocks and impacts. This one diver watch I would not hesitate to take on a diving trip as you have the best of both worlds, comfort and readability. The movement winds very smoothly as you would expect for an automatic men’s sport watch. The 40.5mm case is even the perfect size to fit under the cuff of my long sleeve shirt.

The Junghans Meister Driver Chronoscope men’s watch is an immediate eye-catcher. You are instantly struck by the lacquer dial which has a sand colored effect and complements the soft grey face nicely.  

The Dial:

The large white Arabic numbers match the white luminescence of the hands making them remarkably striking. The hour and minute hands have distinct sharp tips that consistently communicate time accurately and have a “Super Luminova” substance.

The Case:

The high polish stainless steel case measures 40.8mm in diameter with a height of 12.6mm and is extremely pleasing to the eye. The extended lugs arc from the case band, giving the watch an elegant presence. The exhibition case back is held together by four screws and gives an immaculate view of the structure of the watch.

At first glance, I am struck by the sleek and sexy white dial which is in complete contrast to the black Arabic numbers. This outstanding men's watch is the perfect example of a men's dress watch that can also be worn as a sport watch. This luxury watch is 39.5 mm in diameter and is beyond comfortable on the wrist. The watch even comes with a luxurious box to hold it in. Being one of the best watch brands, this may quickly become one of your favorite watches.

The History

The basis of this watch goes all the way back to the year 1833, before the adoption of Standard Time. In this time period, time was dependent on the position of the sun. This resulted in every city having its own uniques time zone. This complicated system made it impeccably hard for the railroad companies to have synchronized railroad timetables. The U.S railroad companies soon changed this system, and since 1833, the way of ‘Standard Time’ has been used in almost every city across America. The Standard Time rule separates the country into four different time zones. This change has made the use of the sun to tell time seem like a vintage tactic, and has since led to the disappearance of more than 70 official time zones, and has continued as the official time system to the present day.

A Project Worthy of Its Name: The Omega Skywalker X-33
