Just as the embrace of Chinese culture has become one of the fastest-growing phenomena of the 21st century, so too has the Chinese New Year – or the Spring Festival – established itself as an event of truly international proportions. Typically honoured in all of the largest cities around the world, citizens of every nationality now look forward to processions, street dances, and all the paraphernalia traditionally associated with the most important date on the Chinese calendar.&nbsp;
Inevitably, this has not been lost on many of the world’s biggest brands, companies never known to miss out on a commercial opportunity. In particular, luxury precision watchmakers – ever mindful of the value of the Chinese and Hong Kong markets – have celebrated this Rabbit Year with custom limited edition timepieces.

Boasting octagonal-shaped cases, the Harry Winston Emerald watch collection features cases crafted in 18-karat white or rose gold. The 18mm models also boast a diamond-set bezel as a nod to the house’s “King of Diamonds” legacy. Available in mother-of-pearl, the dial is crowned with rubies in the form of an emerald cut. The standout from this collection comes with a red, classic alligator leather strap, which is a straight-out nod to traditional CNY festivities.
In celebration of 2023 being the Rabbit Year, IWC Schaffhausen has unveiled&nbsp;its Portugieser Automatic 40 Edition “Chinese New Year”. Housed in an ergonomic 40-millimetre&nbsp;stainless-steel case and featuring a striking burgundy dial and gold-plated hands and applique,&nbsp;a particular highlight is hidden at the back of the watch &#8211; the automatic winding mechanism’s gold-plated oscillating weight in the form of a rabbit.

The Hong Kong tourbillon brand Memorigin, meanwhile, is honouring its long-term commitment to promoting Chinese traditions through the launch of its Memorigin Zodiac Series. The periphery of the dial is designed in an auspicious fret pattern, while the indices are represented by rubies or blue sapphires. The watch is equipped with a manual-winding tourbillon movement that consists of 155 pieces of subassembly module and 18 jewels. In all, it has 40 hours of power reserve and a vibration frequency of 28,800 oscillations per hour.

Turning now to the OMEGA Constellation Aventurine, this features dials fashioned from&nbsp;natural Aventurine stone, meaning no two dials are ever alike, with options to choose&nbsp;bezels paved with diamonds or engraved with Roman numerals. The watch also features&nbsp;diamond-set bezels and skeletonised hour and minute hands, as well as dial-matching leather&nbsp;straps in red.
<figure id="attachment_70040" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70040" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://parmigiani.com/en/watches/tonda-pf-xiali/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-70040 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Parmigiani-Fleurier.1-e1677118946558.jpg" alt="rabbit year" width="500" height="676" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Parmigiani-Fleurier.1-e1677118946558.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Parmigiani-Fleurier.1-e1677118946558-200x270.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-70040" class="wp-caption-text">Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Xiali Calendar</figcaption></figure>
For its part, Parmigiani Fleurier has gone full-on Chinese with the launch of its Tonda PF Xiali Calendar, with its offer of a precision take on the Chinese calendar over the long haul said to be a world first. In order to deliver on this, the watch conceals an extremely sophisticated mechanism within an all-new movement – the Calibre PF008 &#8211; which facilitates the display of classical Chinese characters. As the Chinese calendar is not cyclical, the complication is mechanically programmed and extends across 12 years via an intricate cam system.
For its part, TUDOR has debuted new versions of its Black Bay line in steel and yellow gold with a fixed bezel. These Black Bay 31, 36, 39 and 41 S&amp;G models, as they are known, proffer a unique aesthetic with their T-curved cases intermittently highlighted with polished yellow gold sections. Fitted with Manufacture Calibres, including reference MT5201, one of the marque’s new family of movements, these models are said to be at the very cutting edge of technical watchmaking refinement.

Rounding off this month’s selection, Vacheron Constantin is looking to boost its appeal to the mainland and Hong Kong Haute horology aficionados and collectors by offering a customised rabbit-motif limited edition of its Métiers d’Art &#8211; The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac range for the Rabbit Year. The iconic representations appear on the dials and have to be etched directly into the metal, with&nbsp;the pattern remaining semi-embedded while standing out from its gold base thanks to a subtle array of accentuating reliefs designed to create an engaging depth effect.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Gafencu’s top picks for every dad

Since the dawn of the 20th century, burgeoning interest in oceanic exploration saw the rise of diving as both a science and a sport. And long before the advent of computers and other technologically-driven equipment, dive watches were right there to help these intrepid explorers in their aquatic endeavours, primarily to precisely measure time spent by a diver underwater.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&nbsp;“Oceanic explorations&nbsp; have inspired the creation of a wide selection of luxuriously elegant dive watches”
</blockquote>
These days, though, their popularity has spilled over into the general leisure domain, sparking a slew of quasi-counterfeit ‘dive watches’. To combat this, the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) has set guidelines and testing parameters that comprise a real dive watch. The true haute horology titans, though, have consistently produced technologically advanced wrist adornments that can not only withstand the oceanic depths, but that look good doing so. Below are seven of the latest standouts.&nbsp;
<a href="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54985" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net.jpg" alt="Dive In Dazzling timepieces that thrive underwater gafencu magazine Ulysee Nardin's Diver Net" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dive-In-Dazzling-timepieces-that-thrive-underwater-gafencu-magazine-Ulysee-Nardins-Diver-Net-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" /></a>
First up is Ulysse Nardin’s all-new&nbsp;Diver Net. A novel approach sparked the creation of this innovative design, with the brand looking to the sea for materials with which to enhance the watch in a truly sustainable fashion. This sees everything from its R-Straps and bezel to case and caseback crafted from recycled fishing nets, with even the crystal manufactured from recycled oceanic plastic. Under the hood beats an UN-118 movement that sees the black-on-green watch function to depths of up to 300m.&nbsp;

Another brand utilising a similar colour motif is Blancpain in the form of its&nbsp;Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronograph Flyback. The first green version of this particular model, its dial and bezel boasts an almost military camouflage aesthetic. With an eye to ensuring safety, its 43.6mm case is crafted from satin-brushed ceramic, a highly scratch-resistant, anti-reflective material that bequeaths a sturdy robustness. Water resistant to 30 bar, its F385 calibre flyback chronograph movement is precise to 1/10 per second when timing events. A 50-hour power reserve completes its chrono diver appeal.&nbsp;

Next, watchmaker Bell &amp; Ross has expanded its&nbsp;DIVER&nbsp;collection with the&nbsp;BR 03-92 DIVER ORANGE. If the PR materials are to be believed, this 250-piece limited release’s eye-catching colour was chosen to reflect ‘the visual codes associated with maritime safety’ and to guarantee ‘optimal reading time’. Burnished with the brand’s iconic square-shaped face, its 60-minute calibrated uni-directional rotating bezel affords divers the ability to precisely monitor their dive times. In all, it’s an intelligent design that unsurprisingly meets the ISO’s latest standards.&nbsp;

Equally placing durability at its core is the&nbsp;Panerai Submersible Azzuro – 42mm, Panerai’s most robust dive watch to date. Here, its movement is safely tucked away behind a screwed caseback, while a bridge device similarly protects the crown from any encroaching water. Water resistant to 1,000ft, its matte black dial is further punctuated with a date aperture and a small-seconds subdial. Available solely through the brand’s e-commerce channel, just 500 pieces will be released.&nbsp;

Embracing a more outré aesthetic is OMEGA in the form of its&nbsp;Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph. Combining titanium, tantalum and the brand’s proprietary rose gold alloy, Sedna gold, the result is a pink and blue feast for the eyes. Water resistant to 300m, the side of each Numbered Edition’s 44mm case comes emblazoned with its unique number. To highlight its aquatic nature, the timepiece even comes with a special presentation box styled like a water-resistant chamber.&nbsp;

Returning to a more traditional blue-hued dial is Tudor’s&nbsp;Black Bay Fifty-Eight “Navy Blue”.&nbsp;The ‘Fifty-Eight’ here is a reference to the year it released its first-ever divers’ watch waterproof to 200m. This new 39mm model comes with a blue domed dial ringed with a matte blue 60-minute uni-directional rotating bezel. Powered by a Calibre MT5402 movement that affords a generous 70-hour power reserve, it can be fitted with three different types of straps.&nbsp;

Sister brand Rolex – who created the world’s first hermetically-sealed watch back in 1927 – has also unveiled a new avatar of its iconic dive watch, the Rolex&nbsp;Submariner. First introduced in 1953, it has now been updated to a slightly larger 41mm case, replete with the cutting-edge calibre 3230 movement also introduced earlier this year. Fully waterproof to depths of 300m, its black dial is ringed with a black rotatable bezel with a Cerachrom insert – a virtually scratchproof and corrosion-resistant material – deft touches that highlights the watchmaker’s continually keen understanding of divers’ needs.&nbsp;

Dive In: Dazzling timepieces that thrive underwater

A fine gentleman is defined not only by his well-manicured grooming and elegant attire, but also by &nbsp;essential accessories that he uses.

Wristwatch
Any successful man knows that time well spent on productivity is a vital element of success. Watches have always been synonymous with style and wealth, but beyond the aesthetics of a fashionable watch, the vital importance of a quality timepiece lies in its reliability and functionality. The latest trend to hit the market are dive watches.&nbsp;

Sunglasses
During sunny days, a pair of designer shades are essential. A pair that best suits the shape of a man is ideal. A pair of sunglasses not only protects the eyes from the harsh rays of the sun, but also helps a man project a cool and sassy image. Square sunglasses are the most popular in men&#8217;s style though vintage sunglasses offer a bolder and daring statement.

Bluetooth Wallet
A man&#8217;s wallet not only reflects his wealth and style, it is also one of the most essential in daily life. A sharp departure from the usual practice of a wallet stacked with credit cards, paper bills and some business cards, high-tech Bluetooth wallets are now in vogue and displays affluence. This wallet type is also far more secure and high tech, often equipped with a fingerprint sensor and an alarm system activated it is several feet away from its owner’s mobile phone. Clearly, this high-tech feature avoids unwitting loss of vitally important items.

Symbols of success: must-have men’s accessories

The Pelagos &#8211; Swiss watchmaker Tudor’s iconic diving watch &#8211; has for decades been among the most beloved ocean-going timepieces amongst discerning collectors and military outfits across the globe. In 2017, though, the brand sought to widen the appeal of this unique design even further by creating a dedicated ‘LHD’, or ‘left-hand drive’, avatar.&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51615" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19.jpg" alt="Tudor Pelagos LHD" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-19-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
This thoughtful titanium-cased, 42mm addition to the Tudor back catalogue meant the watch could be worn on the right wrist, with left-handed folks easily able to access the winding system placed at the 9 o’clock position.&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51616" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18.jpg" alt="Tudor Pelagos LHD dial" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/700x466-18-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Now, the Tudor Pelagos LHD has been gifted yet another updated iteration, one that sees the signature left-handed features further enhanced by the addition of a new dial, replete with an alternatingly coloured day display, and the ‘Pelagos’ logo emblazoned in red at 6 o’clock. Under the hood, meanwhile, beats the in-house MT5612-LHD Manufacture movement, while its caseback proudly displays the unique production number of this lovely numbered series.&nbsp;
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51617" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2.jpg" alt="Tudor Pelagos LHD with bracelets" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/466x700-2-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
Waterproof to 500m and fitted an automatic helium escape valve, the newest interpretation of the Pelagos LHD isn’t just a fitting homage to the innovative mechanical dive watches of bygone decades, but an apt acknowledgement of the unique requirements of watch collectors today.&nbsp;

Pelagos LHD: Latest left-hand iteration of iconic Tudor watch unveiled

One of the many factors that makes a brand stand out is the iconic component that is unique to its identity. For the Swiss horology brand <a href="https://www.tudorwatch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tudor</a>, this exclusive element is undoubtedly the Snowflakes emblem &#8211; angular hand needles with square shaped hour calibres, which has been featured on countless timepieces across the decades.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51014" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min.jpg" alt="Snowflakes" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-2-min-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Originally introduced on two diving watches in 1969, this innovation allowed watch manufacturers to add luminescence to it &#8211; resulting in timepieces that are legible in any given lighting condition and fitting for the house&#8217;s tagline <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/tudor-borntodare-spirit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#BornToDare</a>.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51016" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min.jpg" alt="Snowflakes" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-4-min-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
In the decades to follow, Snowflakes became well-known not only among watch collectors, but amassed new followers among the divers of navy forces from all over the world including France, Canada, Italy, who all started sporting timepieces that featured this specification by Tudor.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51015" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min.jpg" alt="Snowflakes" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/snowflake-3-min-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Initially a configuration that appeared only on diving watches, the high-end Swiss watchmaker later reinforced this unique element on its Black Bay and Pelagos models that were launched at the <a href="https://www.baselworld.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baselworld</a> 2012.
Fast forward to fifty years from its very first appearance, Snowflakes has continued to be one of Tudor&#8217;s defining features that is immediately recognised by watch aficionados globally.

Snow Signs: Five decades of the Snowflakes timepieces by Tudor

Keeping up with the #BornToDare spirit of luxury Swiss watchmaker <a href="https://www.tudorwatch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tudor</a>, the recent video released by the watch brand shows professional snowboarder Kjersti Buaas teaching David Beckham to snowboard on the Alps. They both reach the peak of a slope covered in fresh snow.&nbsp;
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IJOEcBZICb4" width="789" height="444" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In regard to the experience, <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/20458-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beckham</a>, who is the ambassador of the Swiss watch label said, “It&#8217;s a great thing to be behind, and try and learn from a world-class athlete. It&#8217;s been an incredible experience and I want to do more. What do we do next? I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s like we say, born to dare.”&nbsp;
While they both enjoy their snowboarding session, the former football player is seen sporting the Black Bay P01. This watch promises high performance with silicon balance-spring and a 70-hour power reserve. The four-time Olympian is seen wearing the Black Bay with burgundy bezel and a matching fabric strap. This watch with a vintage design highlights the efforts put into creating and perfecting the ideal watch for divers over more than six decades.

Tudor’s slogan #BornToDare emphasises on the brand’s legacy of manufacturing watches that can withstand extreme conditions to suit individuals who enjoy taking part in adventures.

New Tudor campaign reveals the #BornToDare spirit of the new Black Bay P01

To say that luxury watchmaker TUDOR is a past master at crafting exquisite, high-end dive watches is an understatement to say the least. Having launched its first such design in 1954, the marque has consistently delivered ever-more-alluring timepieces that more than meet the needs of even the most discerning underwater explorer. Now, it has burnished its reputation even further with the addition of the Black Bay Chorno S&amp;G.

Part of its hugely successful Black Bay Collection, this latest chronograph has been given the two-tone treatment and boasts an attractive steel and gold motif (from which the ‘S&amp;G’ designation is derived). Its matte black dial also features the line’s iconic ‘snowflake’ hands – a TUDOR dive watch signature since 1969 – and a date aperture at 6 o’clock, which is fetchingly ringed by a fixed yellow gold bezel with a black anodised aluminium insert and tachymetre scale. Underneath beats a cutting-edge Calibre MT5813 movement, replete with a 70-hour power reserve. The choice of Jacquard fabric, bund leather or steel straps is left to the lucky buyer.

To mark the launch of the Black Bay Chrono S&amp;G as well as several of TUDOR’s other new steel-and-gold creations, the haute horology house took over The Chinese Library at the Tai Kwun Complex for a very special ‘sneak peek’ event. With its signature “Born To Dare” motto clearly the central motif of the adventurously-themed evening, a select group of VIPs were invited to peruse these luxury watches, all while partaking in a series of entertainments ranging from portrait painting and fashion styling to photobooth-printed mementos.

Black Bay Chrono S&G: Iconic Tudor timepiece gets a steel-and-gold update

There was a time when dive watches were primarily practical necessities, essential safety aids for underwater explorers, intrepid or otherwise. Take, for instance, the 1926 edition of the Rolex Oyster, a watch that incorporated the world’s first hermetically-sealed waterproof case, or the 1932 Omega “Marine”, a timepiece certified by the Swiss Laboratory for Horology as capable of withstanding depths of up to 135m.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48346" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches.jpg" alt="New Dive watches" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/New-Dive-watches-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Now, though, a state-of-the-art diver’s chronometer is less likely to see the bottom of the sea than a blind aquaphobic, with such elegant precision timepieces being more a status symbol than a life-or-death depth aid. Regardless of their changing role, there’s something about their maritime orientation that still brings out the very best in many of the world’s finest watchmakers, with seven relatively recent releases more than testifying to that.

First up is <a href="https://www.blancpain.com/">Blancpain’s</a> latest iteration of its legendary Fifty Fathoms model – the Fifty Fathoms Barakuda. First revealed to the world in 1953, it was swiftly adopted by the highly-trained combat swimmers of the French Marine Corps. Later, in the ’60s, a dual-tone version regularly graced the wrists of the German Bundesmarine, courtesy of a proprietary arrangement with Barakuda, a Hamburg-based manufacturer of diving equipment. It is this iconic edition that is the direct forebear of the 2019 version, which boasts the self-same two-tone notes and tropical rubber strap. Fitted with a 1151 self-winding movement and water-resistant to 300m, just 500 of these tide-proof timepieces will ever see the light of day.

Another reinterpretation of a classic diver’s watch comes courtesy of <a href="https://www.glashuette-original.com/">Glashütte Original</a>, with its new SeaQ Panorama Date giving a knowing nod to the brand’s own much-acclaimed 1969 Spezimatic. As well as being water-resistant up to a depth of 300m and having its date aperture unusually placed at 4 o’clock, it also features white numerals on its sunray-finished black (or blue) dial, while its beautiful Calibre 36-13 movement is visible through its transparent sapphire-crystal caseback. The choice of grey nylon mesh straps or a stainless-steel bracelet is left to the purchaser.

Taking a more charitable approach to dive watches is <a href="https://www.iwc.com/">IWC</a>, with its 13-year partnership with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation spawning the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Laureus Sport for Good”. Powered by a proprietary Calibre 89365 movement, complete with a flyback function, it also features a hacking seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, a 60-seconds counter at 12 o’clock and an external / internal rotating bezel that ensures the utmost precision in dive time measurements. Engraved on its caseback is the winning artwork from this year’s Laureus World Sports Awards, co-hosted by IWC.

Another true pioneer of dive watches is <a href="https://www.tudorwatch.com/">Tudor</a>, with the Geneva-based haute horology house having introduced its first such model back in 1954. It is now looking to revisit this particular past glory via the Tudor Pelagos, a timepiece seen by many as setting a new high-water mark for underwater chronograms. Although certified as waterproof to 500m, each watch has actually endured factory testing to a depth of 625m. In addition, this rugged timepiece comes fitted with a 70-hour power reserve and a titanium case and bracelet said to be 40 percent lighter than any stainless-steel equivalent. Finally, its hour markers, hands and ceramic bezel indicators are all coated with a layer of luminescent Luminova for perfect deep-sea legibility.

Renowned as the brand behind the first-ever waterproof wristwatch, the latest addition to its range comes crafted in Rolesor – the marque’s proprietary gold and steel alloy – and sees 18K yellow gold used for the first time in this particular collection. With durability its core design conceit, it features a triple waterproof system said to be resistant to depths of 1,220m.

This, after all, was the watch on the wrist of American adventurer Victor Vescovo when he reached the 10,928m-deep bottom of the Mariana Trench earlier this year. Not only did this super-slim (less than 28mm) watch remain wholly functional, it is actually guaranteed to do so to depths of a further 4,000m. Shouldn’t let you down while you’re checking the time in a rainy golf club car park then, should it?

Sub Dial: Exploring the hidden depths of the finest new dive watches

Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Tudor has gone to new depths with its Tudor Pelagos watch. Waterproof up to a whopping 500 metres (1,640ft), Tudor Pelagos is easily being hailed as the ultimate diver&#8217;s watch. Its lightweight titanium case, auto-adjusting clasp, Manufacture Calibre MT5612 movement with 70-hour power reserve and fully luminescent display make it the timepiece of choice when in deep waters, even in the darkest and most extreme of conditions.

Not one to take things at face value, famous French free-diving champion Morgan Bourc&#8217;his himself tested the Tudor Pelagos timepiece under trying conditions – exploring the dark waters under ice high up on the French Alps, in numbing cold and with almost no light. Let&#8217;s see how the watch performs in the video below:
