MATWATCHES Military Watches for MEMBERS ONLY

By TLex Last week OceanicTime exclusively launched the French Military watch company, MATWATCHES along with their new line of divers watches. Today, some exclusive images of prototype models from the new range and some words from the company itself . . .



MATWATCHES Watchmakers to the special forces. Our designs are sturdy, easy to wear and discreet watches. MER AIR TERRE (Sea Air Land) watches are not like any other purchase. You will buy such a watch because you have heard about it, because you love traditionally made beautiful watches. Matwatches earned its impressive reputation throughout the happy-few who have had the privilege to wear them. First designed to face any extreme circumstances, instruments from Matwatches can now be bought by collectors. So enter the world of force and craft and become a true amateur.



TIME FOR ACTION The story of Matwatches started in 2005 when the RAID (France's SWAT) made an order. Perfectly adapted to the very special needs of these 'super cops', these watches satisfied entirely these brave demanding men of honor. Matwatches earned a legitimacy as they were worn during their raids. Impressed with the high quality of these watches that were only designed for these very special men, other units ordered them.



RAID Matwatches have been part of all raids since 2005. A lot of other special unit forces such as COS (Headquarter of special operations unit), French Foreign Legion, Paris firefighters and the bomb squad of national security ordered these instruments from Matwatches on special specifications. Some series have been manufactured anti-magnetic for military applications and the movements are protected by a Farradet cage and are assembled by master watchmakers.

MEMBERS ONLY No details are left aside and once again dedication to quality and 'members only' policy made them choose Matwatches. Matwatches has now stepped quietly into the civilian world keeping high up its standards of sturdiness, legibility and discretion.



STURDY Classically designed, efficient and manly, the watches MER AIR TERRE (sea air land) are comfortable around your wrist. They are waterproof up to 200, 300 meters (660/1000feet) with a thick flat sapphire crystal (anti-glare coated inside) and a screwed down crown integrated in the case body.

SECURE They are delivered with several kinds of straps so as to efficiently adapt to your own special needs. In the kit you will be provided with the watchmaker essentials : a bracelet or a genuine Italian made rubber band (depending on the series), a tactical nylon strap, and a strong mat calf leather band.



LEGIBLE The darkened sandblasted 316L steel, the orange hands and the extremely legible face with Superluminova luminescent numbers and indexes on the black background are Matwatches signature . These standards corresponded to the special units expectations.

DISCREET The success of Matwatches in the French army is due to its dedication to quality. Due to its limited distribution, these refined tool-watches have become rare sought after pieces. Owning a matwatch is like being part of a « members only » club. Some special units abroad have also entrusted Matwatches to equip their teams.

The Blogs | Cool Police Cars

There is one type of car no one would like to see in the rearview mirror: the police car. I have gathered some models of police cars which are a little bit different from the stereotype of a typical police car. These models are cool, have enough horsepower to follow any fast lawbreaker. Police cars come in different shapes, sizes and colors, but they all have the same main purpose: uphold the law, and provide officers the perfect transportation mean, in order to keep cities in order.

Mini Smart Car is the best one for the crowded streets of Austria. This compact car can cut through corners easily and it has a top speed of 135 Km/hr. This little car is used in more countries in Europe and it is very efficient because it can easily sneak in crowded place, and it offers a good speed for following the thieves or other lawbreakers. It looks pretty funny, but when you see it in the rearview mirror it becomes scary.

Porche Carrera offers officers 325 horses and a top speed of 285 Km/hr. This is one of the fastest police cars, it is used in the same country as the MiniSmart, but it looks more sporty and it has a more elegant design. This car has a permanent place in Germany, at the Porche museum. It has an imposing design, and it can easily intimidate infractors.

The Dodge Charger is used in the U.S.A and it was first presented at the New York auto show in 2005. It is powered by a 425 hp engine which offers 233 Km/hr and it is used across 50 states; it can charge from 0 to 100 Km/hr in six seconds and it has a very sturdy and stable design. It looks very nice, and it helps police officers reach the fast and furious drivers which cross the speed limit.

Italy can be proud of these beasts patrolling on the freeways around Rome. This Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 has a 525 hp engine, a roaring one, which can zoom from 0 to 100 Km/hr in only 3.7 seconds. This car has been donated by the producer to the Italian authorities and apart from speed, this wonderful police car has some interesting additional features, like : automatic number plate recognition system, forward looking camera, and a trunk in front which can be used as a first-response medical platform. When needed, it can also transport organs, because it also has a refrigerated box, for high-speed transport in accidents or medical emergencies.

In London you can see police officers driving same Lamborghini cars, but a different model: Murcielago LP640. There are no more BMW 535d patrol cars since this type of cars have been purchased to keep London safe. This car is an Italian car, and it offers 6.5 Litre engine and four wheel drive, it can reach a 330 km/h and it can go from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.4 seconds. It looks good and I think it fits with the Londonese landscape, but also with Londonese lawbreakers.

Police cars in India are modest, and I think that the authorities use the officer's force more than the cars' power. This nice car is one of the police cars in India, and it has quite simple specifications, and nothing outrageous.

In Holland, police officers use this nice Spyker C8 Spider which has 406hp and a 300km/h (187 mph)Â and goes from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.8 seconds.

A sheriff in Texas has a H2 Hummer, which provides him 700 hp with a 7.0 L engine. This is a powerful car, and I think it is very efficient and helps very easily the sheriff to reestablish order in this state.

In each country, there are used the cars the authorities considered perfect for their protection purposes, and they are also adapted to the level of criminality in those countries. There are also very well trained police officers, who can easily handle these cool cars. I don't wish anyone to look in the rearview mirror and see one of these powerful cars with the light and audio signals turned on to make him stop. As you can observe, the possibilities are different in various countries, but I think everyone is trying to offer the best for their police departments, because it is a very important aspect in the social life, and keeping it safe is a national interest matter.
