The Luminox Recon, Point Man

Well, we are once again excited about a Luminox product. Surprising I know, but Luminox is just one of those products that once you try it, you have to have it. The Tritium illumination is the key, but the watches are also a nice quality and Swiss Made. Fortunately the company is also growing and that means we keep getting new styles. Below is one of the newest styles just released for 2011.

The Recon Series is the newest series available from Luminox and the first watch available is the 'Point Man'. This series is very different from most of the other Luminox watches available today. While the overall style and build are similar to the Colormark Series, the function and illumination are completely unique.

You see the 'Point Man' is a watch designed for the ground solider and out door adventurer. And it's built with features that are actually useful for those out and about. The first and most important unique feature is the Walking Tachometer. This feature is rarely found on any watch and allows you to judge exactly what speed you are walking. this is handy for real field situations where you need to determine how far something is, how far you have traveled and how long it will take to get where you are going. Combined with this feature is the sun-compass functionality and bezel for timing. The watch even has a countdown quadrant of the dial that can be used to time maneuvers. Very cool stuff.

Plus you also get a great looking watch once the sun goes down. Take a look at the night illumination (pictured below). Very stylish blue and orange tritium light the way and still allow the watch to be used for timing maneuvers at night. Not to mention that is also striking to the casual observer.

All in all, I am very excited about this watch. It is always nice to see someone do something different. For more information and to order online, please visit us at Time 4 Tritium.

Citizen World Perpetual AT

Ok, now I have to admit that we are a little excited about this one. The Watch Guys are truly pleased to present the newest Citizen Atomic Timekeeping model, the World Perpetual AT. Now as you may know Citizen has been making Eco-Drive watches with their 'AT' (atomic time) feature for a few years now. It all started with the Skyhawk AT and blossomed from there. To the point now were several series offer this truly wonderful feature. In fact, combined with the Eco-Drive feature it makes for one of the best watches available today. I mean come on... no battery to replace, no need to adjust the time and no need to adjust the date! Can it get any better? Well, in fact it can and it has with the all new World Perpetual AT.

First off is the overall design. It is much simpler than the other watches Citizen is designing with the same technology. The World Perpetual has the general appearance of a standard 3-hand watch. No overly complicated sub-dials, no e6b slide-rule nonsense, just a clean sleek and professional looking watch but still packed with the best features. We are talking World Time with 26 different cities pre-programmed, Eco-Drive, Perpetual Calendar, 200 Meter Water Resistance, Atomic Timekeeping, Solid Stainless Steel or Titanium cases and perhaps one of the best features rarely found on a Citizen watch... a Genuine Sapphire Crystal. That's right, you can't even get that on the flagship Skyhawk model.

So it looks good and also redefines atomic timekeeping with radio controlled accuracy in the USA, Europe, Japan and China where radio signals are received both automatically and on demand. You never have to change a battery or set the time ever again, even for DST (daylight savings time)! The watch will actually set itself. Wake up the next morning to find your watch has already adjusted the time properly. You really can't ask for more.

This particular version is available in two varieties, Stainless Steel or Titanium (CB0020-50E and CB0030-56E respectively). Unfortunately, Citizen has a "no internet" sale policy on this watch so you can't buy it from one of our websites. Fortunately, you can call us up and order it directly over the phone. So for more information and to order one for yourself please call us Toll Free at 1-888-243-6329.

Traser Elite Red

The all new TRASER P6600 Type 6 ELITE RED is the very first military grade watch to both offer the new RED TRITIUM and to meet and exceed the toughest military standards, MIL-SPEC-F. The P6600 is highly stable and shock resistant, with greatly improved water resistance. Traser watches are known throughout the world for their strength, durability and quality. But this new series is made to even a higher standard.

What makes the new P6600 RED ELITE so very different from all other military watches is the unique RED TRITIUM which is less bright than traditional green tritium. Although the wearer can read the time with precision accuracy in night ops, the watch cannot be spotted by others, protecting the wearing from being identified by the enemy.

Red Tritium has only recently been perfected by the engineers at Traser, H3 mb-microtec, the only manufacturer of Tritium Gas Tube illumination in the world. At this time only one watch has this very special feature. It is not available from any other manufacturer or on any other brand of watch.

On the ELITE RED, Red Tritium marks the hour, minute and second hands, as well as the hour positions. Blue Tritium marks only the 12 o'clock marker on the dial.

The Traser ELITE RED P6600 is also water resistant to 600 feet (200 meters) and has the improved K1 Hardened Mineral Glass Crystal for improved strength and scratch resistance.

Like it's nearly identical cousin, the Traser Mil-Spec-G, the new Traser P6600 ELITE RED has both a Day of the Week and a Date display.

Precision Redefined

The Watch Guys are proud to present the world's most accurate watch with a continuously sweeping second hand. Say hello to the Precisionist by Bulova. With a frequency of 262.144 kilohertz, Precisionist offers the highest vibrational frequency available in any watch today. This dramatic increase in frequency diminishes the effect of temperature fluctuations and produces extraordinary precision. Most quartz watches are accurate to 15 seconds a month. Bulova Precisionist is accurate to... 10 seconds... a year. The Precisionist is a quartz watch with a second hand that beats 16 times per second. As a result, the continuous motion of the Precisionist second hand is even more fluid than all mechanical watch second hands that beat only 8 to 10 times per second. This marks the most comprehensive and potentially revolutionary product launch from Bulova since the debut of Accutron 50 years ago. The Precisionist brings the watch industry a new sense of dynamism, an excitement that redefines the expected.

And more than that, it is also VERY nice looking. It is available in four variations that cover a variety of case metals and straps. The overall design is just superb. Everything from the multi-layer carbon-fiber dial to the case with hex head accents is in perfect harmony. I think my personal favorite is the Titanium model with the Ballistic Strap (pictured above) but all four models are really good looking.

And if that wasn't good enough, each watch is depth tested to 300 meters water resistance and feature screw-down crowns, screw-down case backs and are fully ready for any adventure. A watch that is at home in both the office and the extreme corners of the earth. This really is a huge advancement in watches and Bulova. Presicion and Accuracy have truly been redefined.

Innovative Watches

Innovation is the watch industry happens in fits and spurts. Sometimes you will see a watch company get truly innovative and begin to push the barrier while others will go generations without actually changing anything substantial. Often the most innovative companies are the ones who are just starting out. People with truly fresh ideas and perspective. People eager to make a difference and wow the world with there idea. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it misses.

Today I want to talk about ONE such company. ONE that developed something truly innovative and is now enjoying great success. I am of course talking about 01 THE ONE. 01 THE ONE is a little company that had a brilliant idea for telling time that was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. Developed by a computer programmer, 01 THE ONE watches would use binary (the base code for all programming) for telling time.

Using LED's and a new format for time telling, 01 THE ONE watches were born. The result is a unique and good looking time piece with a great story. I defy you to wear ONE of there watches and not get a comment from passers by. It's a conversation piece and a great choice for anyone who doesn't want to go with the crowd.

Now reading the time does take a little getting used to but once you wear it for a while it becomes second nature. Personally the original (pictured above) is my favorite but they have developed two alternate versions (pictured below)

My only problem with the latter two is that they seem slightly less true to the original concept of binary time. Still, they are very cool and the most recent is much easier to tell time with. And at the end of the day, if you are looking for something different and innovative, you need to check out 01 THE ONE. This is ONE to keep your eye on.
