HARRY WINSTON Ocean Sport COLLECTION

By TLex Harry Winston will launch a new range of cutting edge sports watches at SalonQP in London this November. The new Ocean Sport Collection will consist of both ladies and gents models. The 44mm men's Ocean Sport cases are constructed from Zalium, an ultra-tough alloy typically used in the aerospace industry and a material that is used exclusively by Harry Winston for its watchmaking.



These watches feature external bezels in Zalium with notched markers in DLC; they have a water-resistance of 200 meters. The new collection will also utilize a number of Harry Winston's trademark features, such as the angular pushers on either side of the crown. The collection includes a three-hand automatic and an open-worked chronograph. The ladies' collection are fitted with quartz calibers . . .

LINDE WERDELIN Oktopus MOONPHASE (time keeping for lycans & lunatics)

By TLex Lycans or werewolves as they are more commonly known, are mythological creatures that have the ability to shape shift from a human form into that of a wolf or similar wolf-like creature. The transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon, which arrives at the end of the 28 day lunar cycle.

Similarly in the 16th century the condition of being a lunatic, was attributed to intermittent bouts of insanity, that were said to have been triggered by the moon's cycle.



Folklore aside the moon is an incredible force of nature that plays an important role controlling the ocean and tides, which are most greatly affected by its gravity.

For the scuba diver, knowing when the next full moon will be can mean the difference between missing out on an incredible diving experience or not. Moonlight can create the perfect conditions for a spectacular night dive; increased marine activity, increased clarity of the water and a heightened sensation from diving in such conditions . . .



The LINDE WERDELIN Oktopus MOONPAHSE with is titanium case, rose gold bezel and photo luminescent ‘seven phases of the moon’ display is not just a beautifully designed, highly detailed and cleverly engineered dive watch; but a dive watch that offers the discerning scuba diver that something extra in terms of functionality and aesthetics . . .



To the casual werewolf, the Oktopus MOONPHASES’ Rose Gold bezel would for obvious reasons be welcomed over a silver one, and knowing when the next full moon is would certainly be a crucial factor in whether or not they were able to have themselves suitable incarcerated during the full moon period.

In turn it could be argued that a moon phase function could just as easily be used for determining, when a lunatic should be administered their next dosage; I’m off for mine now . . . Happy Halloween!

    ORIS Kittiwake Limited Edition DIVER

    By TLex ORIS have released a Limited Edition DIVER to commemorate the deliberate sinking of the USS Kittiwake in Grand Cayman, which was done in order to create an artificial reef. The Kittiwake DIVER measures 49mm and has a water-resistance of 100 bar or 1000m. It is a Limited Edition of just 500 pieces, and for every one manufactured, Oris will make a donation to the Kittiwake artificial reef project. The sunken ship's mechanical room has been dedicated to the partnership with Oris and in recognition of this a plaque has been installed there. The back of the Oris Kittiwake Limited Edition dive watch shows the logo of the Kittiwake artificial reef project with USS Kittiwake . . .



    From ORIS Built in 1944, USS Kittiwake served for 54 years in many important missions around the world. This included the recovery of the black box recorder from the doomed Challenger spaceship in 1986. On January 5th, 2011, the Cayman Government oversaw the deliberate sinking of the Kittiwake to form a new artificial reef.



    Limited to only 500 pieces, for every Oris watch manufactured there will be a donation given to the Kittiwake artificial reef project. The mechanical room of the sunken ship is dedicated to this partnership with the Oris plaque installed there.



    Available in a ProDiver titanium case with “Rotation Safety System”, the back of this unique watch features the Kittiwake logo, together with the “diver down” warning flag on the dial, marking the association with the historic ship and its new role as a Mecca for diving enthusiasts. The black dial displays wave printing, and the indexes of the timepiece are filled with Superluminova.



    The set includes a rubber strap, with an easy adjustable titanium buckle, perfect for wearing over a wetsuit. Water resistant to 100bar (1000m) the Oris Kittiwake Limited Edition is something to savour from an adventure to the Kittiwake reef in Grand Cayman.
