Another Dive Watch Company has launched a few months ago by the name of Red Sea Watches. Their watches are attractive dive watches machined from 316L Stainless Steel and feature Miyota Automatic Movements. The style of their watches reminds me of Marathon a bit, and the price range is similar as well albeit with a Japanese instead of Swiss movement.

Both watches they are currently accepting pre-orders for are $565 in stainless steel and $595 in PVD steel. 44mm Cases are also standard for both the Holystone and Six Poinder models. On the upside, each watch includes Bracelet, Rubber and Nato straps.

Nice looking pieces, but maybe a bit pricey IMO. Only the market will tell, however!

I’ve owned a U-Boat before, but to be quite honest, the ridiculous case size and somewhat un-matching straps were just not working for me in the end. The case quality in my opinion was decent, which many people in my forums did not agree with. They have improved their straps in the last year or so, as the ones I have seen are nicer now.

This new U-51 Rattrapante from U-Boat is quite interesting.. mixing in design cues from the Anonimo Professionale series of watches with the screwed-in bezel look. This bad boy is limited to 100 pieces and measures 51mm in diameter and a whopping 19mm thick. The movement is a base 7750 Valjoux modifed by Alfred Rochat. Decent enough, but has the typical lack of detail and finish ont he movement that cheapes U-Boat’s watches IMO.

First was the obscure and rare Panerai PAM195, which was made for Paneristi members in a limited edition of 200 pieces, each with the name of the member engraved on the back of the watch.

Now we have the new Panerai PAM360, produced in a limited edition of 300 pieces, sold at the discretion of the Paneristi Moderators. With such a limited production, these are sure to be gone in no time.

Interesting that this one ‘appears’ to have what looks like an aftermarket style strap on it, as opposed to the usual dressier Panerai straps. Not sure if its just the prototype photograph or if its the final production strap. They’ve also used a antiqued yellowish lume to give it that aged tritium look.

Here is a photo of the back. $6700 is the price, which is fairly steep for a basic PVD Base Logo.

Brand New Video review of the Ocean 7 LM-6c Automatic Chronograph. Impressive 44mm case diameter in a heavy solid stainless steel case and robust automatic Valjoux 7750 Chronograph movement. Unidirectional diver’s bezel and solid stainless bracelet as well as a leather Ocean 7 strap is included.

This Pirelli watch is kind of an ugly watch – in the sense that it has a similar look to many cheaper watches out there, but at the same time, the craftmanship is much better than those types of watches and it is Swiss Made as well, with an ETA 2824-2 movement. The rubber strap is very nicely crafted and looks okay on the wrist. At the time I shot the review I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it, but I ended up deciding that I would and have since cut the strap to fit. Its a great rubber auto that is lightweight and easy to strap on. The watch has a cool matte dial and a decent 40mm width, so its not too small when worn.
