The New SWISS Watchmakers

Yesterday we introduced the new Torgoen Swiss T32 Collection of Swiss Made Automatic Watches.  After literally years of requests Torgoen has entered the mechanical Automatic Watch arena.  Their first entry is a classic design Swiss three hand Automatic with a date function.  And the entry level price of just $795.00 is remarkable, a real bargain among Swiss Automatics.

What's of real interest in Torgoen's choice of Swiss Movements, the Valanvron 24, a 25 jewel classic movement with the date function.  Just one year ago Torgoen would likely have chosen the ETA 2824, which is virtually identical.  But ETA, a division of The Swatch Group, has announced that it will, sometime in the future, stop selling ETA movements to all outside companies.

This has caused an explosion of new start-up manufacturers making certified Swiss movements to meet the demand of the non-Swatch Swiss brands.  We are now seeing ETA 2824 clones from Sellita and now Valanvron spring up to meed the expected demand for Swiss mechanical movements.

Our experience, so far, with these start-ups has been excellent.  We can't be certain of Swatch's reasons for restricting the sale of their movements.  It seems unlikely that they cannot meet demand as worldwide sales of Swiss Watches is stable given today's economy.  More likely they want the prestige of the ETA name for their own brands only.

Either way we think this development is good for the Swiss Watch industry.  Have all their mechanical eggs in one manufacturer's basket was never a good idea. Ultimately more manufacturer's will mean more innovation and lower prices.

We are happy to recommend the new Torgoen T32 Collection for anyone wanting to own a fine Swiss Automatic.  See the Complete collection on Gem of the Day or on Top Flight Watches.

Scuba Fin Diver

Citizen Watch Company is setting new depths of excellence with their Eco-Drive Light Powered Professional Diver's Watches. For the serious diver there is really only one choice: Citizen Dive Watches. Why?  Because the Eco-Drive technology is just the best available for the modern diver.  Eco-Drive technology means you get a perfectly accurate quartz watch and still NEVER have to change the battery!  It doesn't get any better than that for a diver.  Never having to change the battery means never having to open the seals on the back of the watch, which any diver will tell you can be the kiss of death for a watch.  But with the Citizen Eco-Drive dive watches you never have to worry about it.  You get a perfectly accurate watch you can wear in and out of the water.  It's ready to go anywhere, any time.

Using the most advanced technology in watch making, the Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver's Watches harnesses the power of light (natural or artificial) and converts it into energy which is stored in a permanently rechargeable lithium-ion cell. These dive watches recharge continuously and has a power reserve that lasts up to 6 months without recharging.

This particular watch we are talking about today is part of Citizen's ALL NEW Scuba Fin Diver Series.  Depth tested to 200 Meters, this watch is the real deal.  This is a series of watches that will never disappoint you. A rugger, heavy duty, rubber (polyurethane) dive strap is integrated right into the case. The time elapse bezels are unidirectional for control and accuracy. The dial has over-sized luminous hands and markers for perfect night and low light visibility!

Notice the attention to detail in the workmanship of the Scuba Fin Diver Watch.  The dial has a light pattern, the rubber strap is integrated and matches the style of the watch completely making this one of the best looking dive watches on the market today.  The case is solid stainless steel and the fit and finish are impeccable.

Traser Big Date Chronograph

The Watch Guys are proud to present the Tracer Big Date Chrongraph Series.  This is not the newest series available from Traser but it is one of my favorites.  The BIG DATE CHRONOGRAPH has the classic styling of the legendary Traser H3 Military Watches, but with the newest Swiss Made, Jeweled, Chronograph quartz movement. As you can see in the photograph above, the new Chronographs feature full dial tritium illumination from H3 mb-microtec.  This means that you can easily see the watch day and night in any condition.  These watches are available in four different options, two in lightweight Titanium and two in Black PVD.  Each with either a traditional Green Tritium or the newer Blue Tritium variants. 

Worldwide, people who know about tritium illumination watches know that the Traser is the "real deal." Traser H3 by mb-microtec was the first military timepiece ever to be equipped with the patented tritium H3 permanent light technology. And the H3 mb-microtec models were actually the first to be issued to the men and women of the US Armed Forces. Today they are still the world standard and are the watches made for NATO armed forces.

The Big Date Chronograph Series is one of the best watches available from Traser today.  Solid Stainless Steel (or Titanium) construction, 100 Meters Water Resistant and a Sapphire Crystal are just some of the amazing features this watch has to offer.  It's a beautiful and well made timepiece that anyone would be proud to own and it won't break the bank.  One of my favorite features of the Traser brand is that they are reasonably priced.  And by comparison with other brands they are practically a steal.  You don't have to sacrifice any quality and can save hundreds of dollars!
