With fewer folks in the chain that needed to wet their beaks, the value was passed onto the final buyer along with a special twist. When your company has less than 1,000 customers, you need to make sure that they get what they want. Otherwise, you're not keeping the lights on.

Following last year's alarming relaunch of the darling Cricket, Vulcain has just announced a brand-new vintage-inspired dive watch for 2023 - the Skindiver Nautique 38mm. Taking direct inspiration from a model that was produced by Vulcain throughout the 1960s, this modern interpretation looks to re-issue the Nautique into what is left of today's nostalgia-driven market with the support of a price tag that barely breaks into the four-figure range.

Like many (considerably) more expensive Doxa models, the Sub 200 is powered by an ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement. Being the known quantity for Swiss off-the-shelf movements, the ETA 2824-2 is becoming less and less common at this price point.

Mido pays tribute to the Ocean Star collection. In subtle reference to the past, the Ocean Star Tribute Swiss watch reinterprets the aesthetic codes of the diving models from the 1960s.

The watch famously worn by Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I. is back. Same owners, different brand. Based on one of the first quartz dive watches ever made. The Momentum Sea Quartz 30 has 300m of water resistance, sapphire bezel, and C3 Super-LumiNova.

Issued to specialized US military units such as the Navy SEALs, UDTs (Underwater Demolition Teams) and US Army Special Forces, the Chronosport UDT is considered by many to be the ultimate military watch of it's time.

Ghost in the Shell is a masterpiece. I would go so far as to say that it's the second best science fiction film I've ever seen (behind 2001, of course), but no one knows about it.

Unless you're a search and rescue team member stationed near the backcountry and you need to be ready to drive over hell and back to assist people stuck in the middle of the wilderness at the drop of a hat, your adventure vehicle is for one thing, and one thing only: fun.

Did someone ever tell you that you couldn't wear your dive watch on a leather strap? Or that your watch was too big, on the wrong wrist, or somehow in violation of some arcane set of watch nerd rules?

Ultralight and ultra-capable, the Peak Design Packable Tote is an unstructured and zippable carry-all with some key improvements over other packable tote bags: zip closure, a solo microfiber-padded shoulder/hand strap, and a self-healing nylon shell that is constructed out of a single piece of fabric, which minimizes seams and stress points.
