Victorinox Alliance Mechanical Review
It's pretty rare that a household name brand surprises you with a product, but in the case of the watch we're looking at today, that's exactly what happened. Victorinox, known of course for their Swiss Army knives as well as their watches, brings to mind a certain design vocabulary. One that speaks most clearly to a military aesthetic, particularly infantry field watches. Though they have made models that diverge, they tend to be in the way of modern sport aesthetics. So, when a clearly vintage inspired design showed up on their site, a watch that I don't even recall seeing in Basel, I was surprised and intrigued.The Alliance Mechanical has design elements that speak directly to watches from the early 50's and late 40's. Elements that, to my knowledge, hadn't been used by Victorinox in other watches. The Alliance Mechanical stands out for being a bit lighter, perhaps dressier, than their other watches, but at the same time having details of their modern and military designs. Powered by

OK Guys...so who's actually excited about and think about buying the new 116610?
I have to admit, that I like the new 116610 a LOT more than I thought I would. I can't precisely say why - on one hand, I've not been overly enthused by the other ceramic "supercase" models I've seen...at least not enough to want to buy one. But I honestly think I want to buy the new Sub. I think one factor that pushed me over the edge was seeing that they went with a brushed bracelet. But I think I like the bezel execution better than I do on the GMT IIc. My problem with the black bezel on the SS GMT IIc is that the bezel color/shade "shifts" too much depending on the light. It can vary from a light grey to a deep black depending on the light shining on it. While I have nothing to back up the notion that the 116610 Sub bezel is done any differently than the GMT IIc, my impression based on the limited time I've spent with it is that it looks black much more consistently. I've still got some question marks in my mind (mostly about the clasp being easier to scratch, and whether I

Evolution of the Planet Ocean
Does any one think the PO will begin an evolution much like the Rolex Submariner?With it being a hit, I suspect Omega will just make marginal changes every few years. Or do you think it will market it like the Sub, with an upgraded Sea Dweller, and then a super upgraded Deepsea?I'm like my PO, but I am geting that urge to want a super Planet Ocean, and in two minds between getting the Liquid Metal, or wait a year until the new PO is released.Hope I make sense.
