EDMOND Booster (lock-ed)



By TLex Introducing EDMOND & the Edmond BOOSTER. Edmond Swiss Made sports watches combine the refinement and elegance of a Swiss made mechanical wristwatch with sportiness and utility to create a line of watches that can be worn in any situation . . .



Founded by JP Edmond, a designer, who was passionate about Swiss watch-making, the luxury watch brand EDMOND was introduced in Autumn 2008 after much work focused on the research and development of prototypes of their original watches.




LOCK-ED All EDMOND watches feature an exclusive patented innovation known as the 'Lock-Ed concept', a new crown control and protection system for setting the watch. It allows its wearer to push the winder without actually directly handling it, but by actuating the lever, which places the watch's crown in its setting position.



The Lock-Ed concept also allows for setting the watch more accurately and easily. Their unique watches are very comfortable to stop or restart the second hand accurately in the front of a dial graduation. For winding the watch you need just unlock the system without pulling the crown up to the setting position.




TRIPLE GASKETS This system also serves to increases the watches' water resistance.The crown of the watch features double O ring gaskets, which assures water resistance even when it's pulled out. A third flat gasket compresses when the system is locked.



ED-DNA All EDMOND Timepieces are made from 316L Stainless Steel, in some instances with a durable black PVD coating, 4mm thick sapphire crystals and double screwed pins, which mount onto a durable rubber strap with a push-button deployment clasp.

They house ETA 2824, Swiss made mechanical movements, which are adjusted in order to obtain an average time difference in the range of -2 to 3 sec per day. They are also all water-resistant to 200 meters.




AFFORDABLE The EDMOND Booster is listed for 860CHF / ~ 970USD

CITIZEN Signature 300m DIVER Perpetual Calendar

By TLex Introducing the new CITIZEN Signature Diver Perpetual Calendar Ref. BL1258-53L. The watch houses Citizen's Eco Drive movement with Perpetual Calendar. Eco Drive technology allows the watch to charge in either natural or artificial light. Its 43mm case with screwdown crown and caseback, dual coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a water-resistance of 30BAR or 300 meters has been hand assembled. The pattern on its unidirectional divers bezel reminds a lot of the TAG Aquaracer Cal.5 500.

OMEGA Planet Ocean Launch, Capri

By TLex The beautiful island of Capri was the setting of OMEGA's launch for the upgraded version of the Planet Ocean. Among the guests there, which included a mermaid (who hand delivered Planet Ocean watches to lucky members of the watch press) and astronaut Buzz Aldrin was filmmaker Arthus Bertrand, who spoke of his planned collaboration with the Swiss watch brand to produce movie about the oceans . . .



Traser® H3 Watches DIVER Automatic (orange)

By TLex Previewing Traser H3 Watches’ latest divers model (still unreleased). Features include Trigalight ® illumination technology from mb-microtec, which includes blue tubes for greater readability underwater. Its Ø 45mm x 14mm dual constructed case (matte steel outer / polished steel inner) has a water-resistance of 30 BAR or 300 meters, is fitted with a sapphire crystal and houses a Swiss ETA 2824-2 EL automatic caliber.

XERFA Watches & Yachts BSB DIVER

By TLex Xerfa have been established since 2008 and are based in Galicia, Northern Spain, on the Atlantic coast. They are a company, who specialize in the manufacture of sailing and motorized maritime vehicles and limited edition professional diving watches such as the BSB Diver . . .



Which is named after the 'Submarino Boya Sanjurjo Badia', a rather odd looking diving contraption (somewhere in between a faucet and a torpedo) dating back to 1898. Features of the BSB Diver include: a 45mm 1'000m rated case with sapphire crystal housing an ETA automatic movement, carbon fiber dial and production of 450 pieces. I really like the tie-in with the old submarine, there seems to be some cool history on the Boya Sanjurjo Badia, but as for the rest of BSB Diver (blue plongeur hands aside) -unremarkable!
