Time Machine


Over dinner the other night, my buddy Vic promised to be my first client, once he's done with his current work assignment. Among other things, he's looking for a quality watch.
I believe every man should possess at least one good timepiece. My thought on watches is either wear a cheapy (a swatch or timex) or invest in a "real" timepiece. But at all costs, avoid a cheap watch pretending to look expensive.
I've always been a fan of dive watches for their aesthetics, functionality and versatility. Many of today's dive watches are understated enough to be worn to the office.
The things to look for in a dive watch (or any quality watch) are: (1) a Swiss automatic movement, (2) a scratch-proof, sapphire crystal glass, (3) a classic design and , (4) a price tag that doesn't require taking out a second mortgage. The Prometheus Ocean Diver meets all of these criteria. It features a Swiss ETA movement, sapphire crystal, a substantial (but not bulky) 44 mm case that sits well on the wrist, and a classic design reminiscent of the iconic 1960's Longines Super Compressor. Best of all, you all this watch for under $500.
