The American-based brand is getting ready to start selling the automatic Deep Blue Depthmaster 3000. As you have already guessed, it features an almost mind-numbing water resistance rating of 3000 meters! Tested for water resistance in compliance with ISO 6425 standard (it means that the watch must withstand the claimed water pressure of 300 ATM +25 percent more to qualify for the status of a “professional diving tool,”) the 3KM looks like a real professional diving companion that even serious Swiss and Japanese brands could be proud of.

Oris Carlos Coste Cenote Series (674 7655 7184-Set)
With the new Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series diver Oris celebrates the last year’s feat of its ambassador: master freediver Carlos Coste. Swimming under water for impressive 150 meters through a rocky passage inside the monstrous Dos Ojos flooded cave system, the daredevil Venezuelan freediver officially became the Guinness World Record holder for the “longest distance swam underwater with one breath (open water).”
Angular Momentum’s Artsy Diving Tool With “Email Lumineuse” Dial
Like their unique Illum Aqua Ladies, the new Angular Momentum Cushion Diver has most of its surfaces covered with the ever-glowing Email Lumineuse luminescent enamel.
Deep Blue Daynight T-100 Tritium Flat Tubes Diver
The new Deep Blue Daynight T-100 Tritium Flat Tubes is not particularly handsome in broad daylight, but it shines like a Christmas tree in total darkness. What more would you like from an affordable diving tool that is also rugged enough to withstand some real abuse serving as a daily beater for a person who prefers active lifestyle to a miserable life of a couch potato?
Citizen Eco-Drive Signature Perpetual Calendar Diver
The recently introduced Citizen Eco-Drive Signature Perpetual Calendar (ref. BL1258-53L) has immediately sparked controversy among enthusiasts and bloggers alike. The reason for the universal brouhaha was the decoration of the unidirectional rotating bezel that looked like it was blatantly ripped off the 2009 TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 diver that went on sale two years prior to the introduction of this model.
Perrelet Seacraft GMT Divers (A1055/3 and A1055/A)
At Baselworld 2011, among a number of other high-tech and classy timepieces, Perrelet has also presented its new collection of divers: a three-hander, a chronograph, and a GMT. Although they position the chrono as a flagship of the series, the Seacraft GMT (Refs. A1055/3 and A1055/A) is the most interesting (or, at least, the most useful) among them.
