Deep Blue Watches


Today we will be looking at Deep Blue watches. They are a pretty young company. Their products focus on dive watches, hence the name Deep Blue. They design their products based on four pillars: Customer Service, Quality, Value and Dependability. I have to say that it does show in their products.

The main focus of Deep Blue Watches is of course water resistance. That is the reason why their watches are all designed to withstand depths of 300 meters to 3,000 meters. They also use the best possible components in their watches. This can be seen in the use of 316L stainless steel for their watch case, sapphire crystal and movements sourced from ETA and Miyota.

A sample of their watches.

The best part about the watches offered by the Deep Blue Watch Company is the price. Most of their watches are very reasonably priced; in fact I think they offer great value because for less then USD 500 you can get a watch with a water resistant rating of 1,000 meters. Additionally, some watches are available for just around USD 200. You can find many of these watches at online retailers like ShopNBC, available with convenient product reviews and shipping. If you’re in the market for an affordable yet extremely durable new watch, Deep Blue may be the answer. 

Back to normal transmission...

But first another lume shot. This time it is the Precista PRS-10. This is the modern take by TimeFactors on the Precista G10/W10 watches issued to the British military. I do like the watch. However it has been sold in the recent streamlining exercise.

Another Lume shot

This time it is the tritium gas tube powered Marathon Navigator quartz watch. This is the NSN 6645-01-364-4042. It is pretty bright for an eight year old watch. I like the orange marker to indicate the 12 o'clock position. 


Just a few more....

One of my favourite quartz watches, the Omega X-33 Gen 1. This watch and the Breitling Aerospace are the two quartz watches that I feel are must have watches. 

Anyway the Omega....

The badly scratched external AR coating.


The crown and polished pushers.



The plain and simple case back.

Just a few more...

I promise. We will go back to our normal transmission soon.... :)

My 1675....


Love the patina.



The twin lock crown.


My favourite watch. Lots of history.


Even more watch photography....

My Omega Seamaster 300. 

The Omega logo on the crystal, right smack in the center.


Clean and simple dial. Easy to read. 



The luminous bezel insert (minute markers). Wish more watches had this.


I like this watch. 


The case back with the hippo campus.

Feeling fruity?

Here are more attempts at improving my watch photography. This time the victim is the Sinn U1 lemon or the Juwelier Roberto Limited Edition U1.

I got the lemon version. There is also the orange version.


The company logo? Founded in 1997?


The awesome Sinn crown. 


I like the yellow markers on the bezel.
