Oris Aquis Depth Gauge Watch
Capillary-style depth gauges are nothing new or particularly advanced, but they are simple and effective. Oris has managed to design one into one of its dive watches. The result is a mechanical watch with a non-electronic depth gauge that does not cost an arm and a leg. IWC and Jager-LeCoultre already proved to us that they can make those - and that is fantastic - but they were a complication for complication's sake because even if you choose to dive with a luxury watch, you probably aren't going to want to rely on it as your depth gauge. When Panerai released theirs, they simply circumvented the entire issue by keeping prices high and sticking in an electronic depth gauge module. In fact, that was pretty smart of them.This new diver is called the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge and is just that. Oris has a load of pretty good dive watches but there are a lot of them and many have seemingly small differences. On top of that, they exist in a few model families which exacerbates my confusion.

Xetum Tyndall PVD Black Watch
This month California-based watch maker Xetum will release a PVD black cased version of their Tyndall watch. You can even get one in time for Halloween. The Tyndall is their flagship watch and comes in a 40mm wide steel case. This Tyndall PVD model is black with a matte finish. It also has a PVD black coated rotor in the automatic Swiss ETA 2895 movement. That isn't anything hugely different compared to the current model, but it is a new color selection which does add a nice additional flavor to the Tyndall collection.Right now the Tyndall PVD will only be available on a black leather strap. Perhaps a PVD bracelet will be available in the future. Another piece of good news is that the PVD black version of the Tyndall will only cost $100 more than the polished metal version. That means a retail price of $1,495 and you can pre-order them here. The watches ship on October 23, 2012.Tech specs from Xetum:Xetum Tyndall PVD - $1495Pre-ordering available nowShipping begins October 23, 2012Orde

Corum is delighted to decorate a modern lady's wrist with its new Selenity Master Quantieme Automatique watch.The date function, skillfully allied with that of the moon-phase, can be read off with help of a skeletonized hand, turning over an appealing counter at 6 o'clock.

Vintage Longines. Approximate age?
My dad gave me this watch about 15 years ago. I found it again yesterday and decided to remove the stiff gold filled bracelet in favor of a lizard in dark burgundy @ 18mm. I asked my dad about it last night. He believes it was a gift to him from his employer, but does not recall if he got it in the 1950's or 1960's. Can you tell what decade this watch came out? If you need me to open up the case to look at the movement just let me know.Thanks, Andy
