Why Every Man Should Own A High Quality Fine Watch

2006-09-10T16:39-04:00

by Gregg Hall

Generally men are not typically concerned about fashion. Although there are always exceptions to the rule, men usually let women pick their clothing. Even though you may not care much for fashion, there are some things you can do to demonstrate a sense of fashion.

A great item such as a fine watch should be a part of every man's wardrobe. A watch for a man can be a fashion statement in and of itself. A high end watch that is in good taste will add some tasteful flair to your wardrobe. Recently watches have returned as the new fashion statement for men. Men can express their personality through a choice of a good watch.

To find the right watch for you it is important to shop around a little. Searching online for a watch will help you to avoid the mall. By looking online you can also look for watches that allow you to express yourself without judgment.

Many men have owned a variety of cheaper watches throughout their lifetime, but until you find a high end watch you are merely toting a watch out of necessity. Timex is not necessarily a high end watch nor is Casio or any other watch with a plastic or cheap metal band. These are generally for everyday wear and sports activities. That is fine since they are intended for that.

If you are ready for a nice watch that will last and be a family heirloom someday then there are some names you may want to consider.

Some watch names to look for are TAG Heuer or even Rolex. Both are made of superb quality and style. Either watches brand is high end and bound to become a treasured family heirloom.

TAG Heuer has the Aqua racer collection. They are quart crystal watches which are very accurate and dependable. There are several to choose from and all equally beautiful timepieces.

Another popular and classic brand of watches is Rolex. They have been around for a long time and are often referred to as the king of all the watches. They are watches to pass down from generation to generation. The Cellini watch is simple in design but classy as ever.

Regardless of your idea on fashion, there is no reason you can't make a statement with a classy high end watch. The difference once you have one on your wrist may surprise you. Once you wear a beautiful watch you may never pull out the others again. The confidence you may feel from owning such a timepiece will help you feel more successful. A fine watch will be a timeless heirloom to pass on for generations to come.

Watches That Don't Require Batteries

2006-08-06T14:15-04:00

by Gregg Hall

As the technological advances for watches increases the demand for watches without batteries is increasing also. When the quartz technology and batteries first appeared on the seen people rushed to them to get away from wind-up watches, now we are seeing the same thing with the introduction in recent years of watches that do not require batteries such as solar powered watches like the Citizen Eco Drive and the Seiko Kinetic line.

Citizen is one of the watchmakers that has now gone high-tech with a new line of solar powered wristwatches. These new Eco-Drive watches will never need to have the battery replaced. And they come in a wide variety of styles for both men and women.

The Eco-Drive watches will run on any light source whether natural or artificial and the watch takes the light and transforms it into electricity instead of using a conventional battery. The Eco-Drive line is available in many different styles for men and women and also available in aviation and diving models.

There are other companies such as Pulsar who have forayed into this technology but none of the quality of the Citizen.

Another "batteries not required" type of watch is the Kinetic line of watches introduced by Seiko in Germany in the late 1980's and now a very popular line of watch all over the world. Seiko was first to introduce the technology of a quartz watch powered by human movement which is an innovation so significant that it has resulted in over fifty patents. The cool thing about a kinetic watch that most guys love is that it is very low maintenance. It never needs winding, never needs a battery and it is environmentally friendly.

The Kinetic watch features many technological advancements such as the Kinetic Auto Relay which sends the watch into a sort of suspended animation if it is stationary for more than 72 hours. It also features the Kinetic Perpetual combining Kinetic technology, auto relay, and a calendar that remains accurate to the year 2100.

The Kinetic watch builds power through the use of a rotating pendulum connected to a large gear which is then meshed to a smaller pinion. The movement of the wearer makes the pendulum turn causing the pinion to spin very fast which gives the mini generator power to charge the capacitors which store the energy for up to six months.

There is no doubt that in today's society with more and more emphasis placed on conservation and environmentally friendly products we will continue to see new innovations in watches.

A Look At Aviator Watches

2006-06-03T12:16-04:00

by Gregg Hall

Aviator watches or Pilot Watches are very similar to dive watches in that they are often worn by people who have no connection whatsoever to flying or being a pilot. Most of these watches are sold to people who simply like the way they look. While I have no problem with this, actually I love it since it earns me money; this article is geared more on what to look for in a functional aviator watch.

There are several different types of pilot watches so let’s take a look at some of them. The first are those issued or designed to be issued to actual pilots and their crews mainly from WWII through the Vietnam War. Some of these watchmakers include IWC, Benrus, and Longines. Most of these pilot watches were just basic 12/24 military timekeepers and did not feature the chronograph function. These watches are really not true pilot watches as a chronographic feature is really a necessity especially when flying a plane with only basic instrumentation.

Some of the current aviator watches on the market today such as those made by Blancpain, Breuget, Breitling, Longines and others do have an actual aviation heritage and utilize some basic design components in the dial, movement, or case that go back to the watches made specifically for aviators. Most still fall into the designer watch category and do not really function well as true pilot watches.

Now that we have covered a little of the history of aviator watches and talked about the pilot watches that are really not suitable for flying, let’s take a look at some of the watches that are actually chosen and used by pilots and others in the aviation industry.
Among these we will list vintage aviator watches and then current aviator watches.

Among the pilot watches considered to be vintage are the Longines Lindberg Hour Angle, named for Charles Lindberg, the Breitling Navitimer, Breitling Cosmonaute, and the Rolex GMT. The current versions of the Cosmonaute and the Rolex GMT are essentially the same as the vintage models. Some of the better makers of true aviation watches include Torgoen, Breitling, Omega, Citizen, and Seiko. Seiko is one of the most prolific of these watchmakers with a huge range of different models available.

Modern technology and increased instrumentation in aircraft has all but eliminated the need for a pilot to wear a watch but any good aviator will always have a good pilot’s watch as a backup.

The Technology Behind Watches

2006-06-03T12:13-04:00

by Gregg Hall

The watch is one of the most popular personal jewelry items on the market and dates back to the 14th century with the first wind up watches that one carried in a pocket. Today the same components used to make wind-up watches remains pretty much the same as those from the beginning. The basic parts of a wind-up watch are a spring to provide power, an oscillating mass for the timebase, two hands, a numbered dial, and gears regulate the ticking rate to the hands on the dial.

Bulova began seeking new technology for watches in the 1960s and replaced the oscillating balance wheel with a transistor oscillator replacing the wind-up spring with a battery. This new technology used a tuning fork, but the search was on for an even more accurate method of keeping time. Integrated circuits were being developed now and becoming less expensive and the LED technology was being introduced as well but the problem watchmakers faced was to find a new timing element and creating a circuit that would be able to run on a battery small enough to place in a watch.

The new element decided upon was of course the quartz crystal. They had been used for years in radio transmitters, receivers and early computers. The reason quartz is so accurate is that it is unaffected by most solvents and maintains its crystalline properties even when subjected to intense heat. The electronic charge of a crystal comes from compressing it.

Most modern quartz watches now use tuning-fork-shaped crystal. Often, these crystals are made from thin sheets of quartz plated like an integrated circuit and engraved chemically to shape. The major difference between good and indifferent time keeping is the initial frequency accuracy and the precision of the angle of cut of the quartz sheet with respect to the crystalline axis. The amount of contamination that is allowed to get through the encapsulation to the crystal surface inside the watch can also affect the accuracy.

The electronics inside a watch amplify the internal noise at the frequency of the crystal which creates oscillation and makes the crystal ring. In digital watches this is converted into pulses for the digital circuits. In the quartz watches most of us wear today that have a face with hands, one second pulses drive a small electric motor connected to gears which move the hands. This is what gives the movement we see in most quartz watches with the exception of the Rolex and its perpetual movement innovation, but that is the subject of another article.

Things To Look For In A Dive Watch

2006-05-29T20:32-04:00

by Gregg Hall

So you want a dive watch, eh? Well, the first thing you must decide is whether this is to be a functional dive watch or just something to look nice on your wrist. While it is possible to find a decent dive watch that will look good you will usually sacrifice something when trying to combine looks and performance.

Most dive watches never make it to the water and are merely for looks with buyers purchasing them for attributes they may not even understand. Let’s assume that you are in need of a true dive watch that you can actually use in real life diving situations, here are a few things you will want to look for as well as some suggested watches.

In the realm of dive watches there are two main types of dive watches on the market today: those with the attributes of dive watches and the true dive watches with computers.
The dive watches manufactured more with the attributes in mind tend to be those made by high profile watchmakers such as Breitling and Rolex featuring things like water resistance and rotating bezels. True dive watches however, contain a great deal more features and benefits which the avid diver will want in a dive watch. Functions such as water temperature, depth readings, dive times, and gauges that time the breathing mixture in one’s tank can make the difference in life or death. Many of the more sophisticated dive watches allow for downloading to your personal computer to keep records of your dives.

Features that you will want no matter what dive watch you choose include construction of anti-corrosive materials and non-scratch crystals as well as oversized buttons that can be operated with gloved hands and extendable wrist straps that can be adjusted to wear over a wetsuit if needed.

Let’s take a look at a couple of the top dive watches available today. First on the list is the Citizen Promaster Aqualand. This state of the art dive watch is made of stainless steel and features a dive log memory holding up to 30 dive profiles. Other features include a display and digital dial with depth and water temperature, ascent rate alarm, low battery display, water resistant up to 660 feet and offers the ability to upload to your personal computer.

Another great dive watch is the Luminox Navy Seal Dive Watch. This watch meets military specifications for all branches of the armed forces of the United States. It features a fiberglass reinforced polyester injection molded case with stainless steel plate case back secured by stainless steel screws and is water resistant to 660 feet or 200 meters. It also has a unidirectional ratcheting bezel, sapphire glass window, and a multi jewel Swiss quartz movement with date function end of life feature and a 4 year battery life.

Hopefully this brief overview can get you started on your quest for a great dive watch.

A Closer Look At Kinetic Watches

2006-05-29T20:24-04:00

by Gregg Hall

Kinetic watches have increased in popularity over the years since the Japanese company; Seiko first introduced this type of watch in Germany in 1988. These watches were first called Auto-Quartz and the automatic quartz movements were called the Automatic Generating System, it wasn’t until 1997 that Seiko named the watches “Kinetic”.

Technological advancements by Seiko include:
Kinetic Auto Relay, if the watch is stationary for 72 hours that stops the analog hands in order to conserve power during long periods of inactivity, and can maintain a record of the correct time for four years.

Kinetic Perpetual which is the first Kinetic caliber combining Kinetic technology, Auto Relay capabilities, and a perpetual calendar correct until February 28, 2100.

The different calibers of Kinetic watches are relatively large and heavy. Therefore, most Seiko Kinetic watches are only available in a men's size.

The mode of operation of a kinetic watch is this: A rotating pendulum inside the watch casing is connected to a large gear meshed with a small pinion. As the wearer of the watch moves, the pendulum turns and spins the pinion at very high speeds powering the mini generator which charges the tiny capacitors which can store enough power to run the watch for up to six months.

There are other companies such as Swatch and Critique who have attempted to foray into the market without much success.

Seiko was the first to introduce the technology of a quartz watch powered by human movement which is an innovation so important that it has resulted in over fifty patents. The great thing about a kinetic watch that most guys love is that it is very low maintenance. It never needs winding, never needs a battery and it is environmentally friendly.

Some of the models available are:

Kinetic Perpetual: This watch automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February leap years up to the year 2100. It will also put itself in suspended animation after 24 hours of inactivity to conserve energy. All you have to do to “wake it” is shake your wrist and it will automatically reset itself to the correct time even if it has been sitting for years.

Kinetic Chronograph: These watches have four times as many wheels than those found in a normal quartz watch. The kinetic technology reduces heavy power consumption which is the problem facing most quartz chronographs and a full charge can power the watch for up to five months.

It features and energy depletion forewarning functions, overcharge prevention, and measures standard elapsed time.
