Just about every complication or feature in wristwatches was?born out of a real need. Minute repeaters were useful for telling time in the dark, whereas GMT watches let their wearers?easily track time in multiple timezones. Likewise, luminescent material ¨C such as SuperLuminova ¨C was invented to improve night-time legibility of watches. And when it comes to night time legibility, micro gas tubes filled with tritium are unbeatable because they are self-charging (meaning they do not need to be charged by a light source to glow) and can glow on their?own for up to two decades or more. This month, we pay a unique?visit to the workshops of MB Microtec, the world¡¯s only?supplier of micro gas tubes to watch brands, to see how these tiny self-illuminating tubes are made.Speaking of micro gas tubes, Ball is probably the high-end watch brand most famous for using them.

Victorinox Dive Master 500 and INOX Line
Victorinox is most well known for their iconic Swiss Army Knives, which they’ve made for 130 years. However, they also make some great affordable watches. To celebrate their 25th year of watchmaking, they are introducing two new models, the Diver Master 500 and the INOX.The Dive Master 500 is a chronograph diver that is limited to 500 pieces.

A cool feature is that all the lume looks green in daylight, but in the

I can't take it!!!
You guys have been killing me with all of your awesome 2254's.I've spoken to my fav. Omega AD to see if he had any 2254's available.He recently had 100 and only has 18 now.I asked if he could hold one for me for a few weeks, he said that it wouldn't be a problem since I purchased a Speedy from him in Feb.,so by mid June I should be sharing my new Omega with you fine folksI'm so excited knowing my next grail will be arriving soonI'll keep you guys posted.

I like the new layout, but...
that cursed Martin Bruen Java issue is back! Now I can't seem to find the tab at the bottom of the screen to switch the display type. Is it still possible to set it so as not to keep asking for an obsolete Java version? It's a neat looking add, but that pop-up is annoying, any ideas?
