Breitling's newest watch to come out of Basel this year is the Avenger Seawolf Chronograph. Combining the versatility and reliability of the Avenger line with the water resistance of the Seawolf, Breitling seems to be getting as serious about diving as they are about aviation. Breitling is touting the new Avenger Seawolf as the worlds only chronograph to be water tight and operational at depths up to 1,000 meters (3300 feet). This is impressive, but not entirely true. The Sinn U1000 also ..

At BaselWorld 2008 this year, Rolex announced an update to their already amazing, top-of-the-line diver: The Rolex Sea-Dweller. They're calling the new model the Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA. The DEEPSEA has several changes from the original Sea-Dweller: As with the new Yacht-Master 2, it's more heavily branded.

One of the things I enjoy about wearing Seikos is that there's so much to discover post-purchase.

Quick-set and quick-change..

Suunto recently introduced an entry level dive computer that they're calling the D4. It's not as complex as either the D9 or the Vyper we covered previously; rather, Suunto describes it as "the introductory model in the Suunto diving line". When you're talking about Suunto, however, even "introductory" means an astounding number of features for both SCUBA divers, and free divers: Standard digital watch features like 12/24 hour display, dual time, date, daily alarm, and stopwatch with spl..

We've talked about American watchmaker RGM here before, and Roland Murphy's small company which produces exquisitely made high-end watches. It looks like RGM is now stepping into the very exciting world of professional dive watches with the new and beautiful RGM Model 300. Features of the RGM Model 300 include: Brushed stainless steel case. Water resistant to 2,500 feet, or about 750 meters. 5mm thick flat sapphire crystal (that's extremely thick). Anti-magnetic casing. 43.2mm..
