Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
When we turn back the replica, we will admire its amazing back-case. Generous, this is the only word I want to express. We can review the beauty of machine accompany with the moving of balance wheel clearly in such big back-case. It is liked that we are admiring a wonderful artwork.Next, let’s see its band and clasp. A good band need to be comfortable and durable in quality. So the replica has do it so well in this detail, a folding clasp with classic 316 stainless steel and has IWC LOGO in it. It reveals the taste of gentlemen and active sport style fully.In the end, Let’s see an important element, this IWC Portuguese replica is equipped with a powerful movement, it is high clone CAL.51011, can keep over 120 hours power reserve. If normal watch, uses ETA movement, mainly can keep about two or three days. So this replica is really an excellent one with high copy technology.In my point of view, this replica is deserve to have one, it is not so luxurious and complicated, but is elegant and dedicated. You need to have such replica as your special artwork in hand.
