Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
The GMT Master II ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and influential examples of the brand’s multi-time zone pilot’s watch. It brought an upgraded case and movement to the line, making it a huge success and leading to its impressive production run of almost twenty years. The ref. 16710 was then replaced by the ref. 116710 in the late 2000s as a completely new generation of Rolex GMT-Master tool watches began to make an appearance with a brand new case and bracelet design, improved materials, and a new movement.Rolex developed the GMT-Master in the early 1950s at the request of Pan Am Airlines. Its release came during the dawn of international flight. The famous air carrier required a dual-time wristwatch to issue their pilots, and the GMT-Master was born. The GMT-Master II was released a number of years later in 1983 with the ref. 16760, and brought with it independent hour hands that allow the wearer to read two time zones on the dial and a third on the bezel.The first GMT-Master II ref. 16760 featured a bulkier case and is often referred to by avid collectors as the “Fat Lady” or “Sophia Loren.” In 1989, Rolex would release a refined variation of the Fat Lady GMT in the form of the sleeker reference Rolex 16710 with a thinner case and movement. The ref. 16710 was well-received among collectors for its upgraded case and movement, and it would go on to become one of the most successful GMT-Master II models, remaining in production for nearly twenty years.A completely redesigned version of the stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced in 2007, which meant the discontinuation of the long-running ref. 16710. The Rolex 116710 is similar in design as its 5-digit predecessor with an all-steel finish, a perpetual movement with independent hour hands, and a bidirectional bezel; however, that’s where its similarities end. The ref. 116710 is almost an entirely new watch and boasts a redesigned bezel, case, bracelet, and dial, as well as the newer Caliber 3186 perpetual movement.
Case lugs have a curved line so the whole case can fit your wrist very well. Do not worry that the rose gold tone will fade, it will not because the rose gold coating is so thick. After many years of wearing, you can send the watch to us, we can do rose gold plating for you in factory. Bezel is real black ceramic with rose gold markings. On solid case back, the center is brushed while the round edge is polished. The back of each lug is engraved with some symbols, I do not know them.Rose gold dial has Swiss lume applied on hour markers and hands, there will be a strong blue lume effect in the dark. The sunray rose gold dial has a high quality texture. Three subdials have their correct function, small seconds subdial is positioned at 6 o’clock, the small dial at 3 o’clock is for 30-minute chronograph, while the small subdial at 9 o’clock is for 12-hour chronograph. These subdials are all working right. In details, they have rose gold edge with black circles on the center.The replica Rolex Daytona watch is equipped with a black leather band, which is made of genuine alligator leather. The leather strap has a rose gold buckle, there is a delicate Rolex Crown on the buckle. When opening the clasp, you will notice the engravings are perfectly done by the factory. By the way, the watch has a water resistant depth of 50 meters.Rolex only published several pieces Daytona watches for women, but every Daytona watch they unveiled is very suitable for women to wear, I do not think Rolex Daytona is exclusive for men. Under current trend, the Daytona, whose case diameter is up to 40mm, looks neutral and is a nice choice for women. Daytona is the only model of Rolex that has a chronograph function. It is only in 40mm and does not have other options, except some vintage models like Paul Newman Daytona. Among all Rolex models, the popularity of Daytona is close to Submariner.Due to its high popularity, Daytona is also highly welcomed in replica watch industry, it is replicated by a lot of watch manufacturers. Different factories make different quality of Daytona replica watches. The general rule is small factories make low quality Daytona replicas, while big factories make high quality ones. However, I do not recommend you to buy the most expensive replicas, you need to find the right one. Sometimes the watch is not very stable even you spent more than $600 USD on it, from a big factory such as Noob, ARF, etc. But sometimes a replica watch from a common watch factory can serve you for years. This situation always happens, some clients also complained that their expensive watches have issues only after several months. I must say this situation is common, you just need to find a right watch supplier who could do a careful quality control before shipping your order.
