The earliest movement used in the Rolex Explorer II was the Caliber 1575, but over the years it was replaced with more technically advanced movements to help this watch reach its full adventure potential. The first big upgrade was the Cal. 3085 which allowed the 24-hour hand to be adjusted independently from the 12-hour hand. This meant the Explorer II no longer just indicated day and night hours, but could also be used to track a second time zone – turning it into a GMT watch. Then came the Cal. 3185 which was improved upon more with a Glucydur balance wheel that is not only paramagnetic but was resilient in extreme temperatures. The 3186 came next with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is anti-magnetic and shock resistant for even better durability. Finally, we have the modern-day Cal. 3187 which features all the upgrades this watch has gained over the years – from the GMT functionality to the blue Parachrom hairspring. It’s also notable for its high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy and 48-hour power reserve.The Submariner has a much longer history, so we’re going to start with the automatic Caliber 3135, which, while upgraded over the years, has been used in all date-displaying Submariner watches since 1988. While the aesthetics of the Submariner can vary, the Cal. 3135 has remained a trusted source of power for this beloved timepiece because of its sheer reliability. Today, the upgraded Cal. 3135 movement is COSC certified, outfitted with the anti-magnetic and ultra shock-resistant blue Parachrom hairspring, and boasts an impressive 48-hour power reserve just like the Explorer II.
When we talking about the world-famous watch brand Omega, I think most of watch fans may be familiar with the series of Planer Ocean very much. Its leading technology of movement, cool color collocation, and its dynamic appearance, all these classic characteristic may be an appreciated view in wrist. Today I felt so exciting to share one outstanding replica of this series to you guys. It has deduced all classic and unique factors which were the same as the genuine, but the only difference between two of them was the price. You may be so surprised to own such excellent replica just need to cost little money. So now let’s know something about it briefly.This replica Omega Planet Ocean has ultra big dial, its diameter was 45.5mm. Its case was made of solid stainless steel 316. Only just this big size and tough material, have already made us feel the its sport style and it was more masculine in deed. There are three big steel Arabic numerals was embossed in the black dial steadily in the place of 6:00,9:00,12:00. The date display window was set at 3:00 position. And the other bar markers were surround its big steel hands . Besides, its hands and scales, markers has been gone through the process of super luminous coating. it was so considerate to help diver read diving time easily. You can see polished steel with bright white in day, but you still can see it shinning with blue color when you stay in darkness. But in order to help divers read their diving time in any situation. Minute hand and bezel scales will show green color. This function can help divers distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. In addition, diving was a dangerous sport actually. So it was very necessary to have this function because any detail was connected with their life.
Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
