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.

The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
Those bar-shaped hour markers, hour and minute hands are applied with Swiss lume material, the green lume light emiting from the dial will be strong and long lasting. Look carefully at the hour and minute hands, they are not flat, both have several cutting faces, now almost all high quality 1:1 Swiss replica Rolex watches from big factories like Noob and ARF will focus on such details, this is also one of the reason why their replicas are sold at higher prices than others.Whether in material or finish, the bracelet of the replica watch has the same quality level as genuine Rolex watch. Especially the finish, it look much better than Noob’s Rolex. Check the gap between each link, there is no difference with genuine. The two ends of bracelet are also tightly connected with the case, which will not be easily broken. The engravings on clasp look clearer and neater than before.The most important is the movement, which is our most famous Asia ETA 2824-2 automatic, AR factory did not use the clone 3235 this time. This is not a pity, on the other hand, the replica with Asia ETA 2824-2 has been tested to be more accurate and reliable than the replica with clone 3235. There are a lot of photos shared below.Oyster Perpetual 39mm is another entry-level series for men Rolex published, together with Air King, they are the most affordable Rolex watches. With basic hours, minutes and seconds functions, Oyster Perpetual can work very stably and accurately, it will also have a very low repairing rate, even none. Today, I will show you five different Oyster Perpetual 39mm watches, their reference number is 114300, each features a different dial color, which includes white, blue, purple, grey and black. In our market, J12 started to make the replicas of Oyster Perpetual 114300 in 2016, the replicas are made of 316L stainless steel, at the end of 2017, J12 opened another sub-branch named AR, this new factory specilized in manufacturing super quality replica Rolex watches that are made of 904L stainless steel, so AR factory and Noob form a strong competitive relationship in replicating Rolex field.
