Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
As a professional diver’s watch, Rolex is willing to uses gold and other precious metal on its Submariner series. In 2017 Basel, Rolex published several new models, but I always think that those Submariner models they published before are the most classic ones, like 116610LN Black Submariner, 114060 No Date model, etc. Today, the 116613 is for Rolex fans who love two tone style. The replica Rolex Submariner 116613 is made by Noob factory, it is V7 version, absolutely the best one currently. Every detail is replicated to be closer to genuine Submariner watch. Especially the yellow gold coating on bezel and bracelet, it is 18K wrapped gold, not plated, so the gold coating will be more durable and not fade. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter, 13mm in thickness, which is the same as genuine. Case is brushed 316L stainless steel, while the bezel tooth and crown are 18K wrapped gold. Black ceramic bezel insert features engraved yellow gold markers, the bezel is anti-clockwise rotating. Real black ceramic is used to made the bezel insert, is is more scratch resistant than plastic. Black dial echoes with the black bezel, all hour markers feature yellow gold frame and are filled with white luminous material in the centre, plus hands, they will emit blue light in the dark. Like real Submariner, the innver bezel features correct ROLEX Rehaut.
