A lot of people who are active in the outdoors are looking for an analogue watch that is a step above the usual Swatch but that can also take a beating. ?(Just as a side note here, you would be surprised at just how tough the ordinary $30 Swatch with the plastic strap can be �C When I first took up Scuba diving 20 years ago I was amazed to see that quite a few divers including a few divemasters used ordinary Swatch watches as a dive watch even though it is not certified to handle the pressure).The second requirement that many people have is that they don't pay the earth. In other words they are looking for a quality watch that is better in quality and durability than a cheap Swatch but that won't cost as much as a Rolex or a Tag. The sweet spot for many people in terms of price is about $300 to $500 for a really functional watch that still looks good and will give a lifetime of service.I can't think of a better candidate for the outdoor enthusiast than Wenger's Swiss Army Raid Commando Watch. This is made by the company that was made famous for making the Swiss Army knife �C a brand that has been synonymous with quality for decades, and that has since built its reputation further building a really excellent Swiss Army Watch range.The Swiss Raid Commando takes its name from the renowned military competition in which members of the Swiss military compete in teams of four in commando type exercises. The competition is a test of fitness, toughness and military skill and pushes participants to the limit in tests of shooting, obstacle courses and deep penetration into "enemy" territory during which time the patrols will advance as much as 120km. They then follow with a "raid" such as an ambush or simulated attack.The watch that takes its name is every bit as tough as the soldiers who compete. The watch is solid-looking and comes in a variety of styles. The looks of the military-ones with a black rubber strap just shout no-nonsense and toughness and this really tops my list of favourite Swiss military watches.The dial is very clear and well illuminated. It has a 12-hour chronometer function (stopwatch) and it also has a tachymeter, which allows its user to measure speed over a known distance. When used by a trained and experienced navigator it can also be a useful way of measuring distance �C which is helpful for night navigation.It is waterproof down to 100 meters (330 feet), which means it can be your backup candidate as a dive watch in an emergency (though you would be better off getting something like the Battalion III Diver which is water resistant down to 200 meters or the more expensive Wenger Aquagraph which is good down to 1000 meters). The Commando is covered with a tough scratch-resistant surface which means it should stand up well to the rigors of mountaineering, hunting and other demanding outdoor sports.Wenger Men’s 70890 Commando Patagonian Expedition Race Chrono Watch. . . .

The new 500 Fathoms is the predecessor of fifty Fathoms and both are created by Blancpain. The 500 Fathoms is also a dedicated watch for diving and the technology and the performance that the watch has reached are amazing and unbeatable for the moment. The sport design and the 1000 meters resistance to water are possible just because the Blancpain has manage to developed a gracious piece that every sportive wants. Because the 500 Fathoms is the latest watch that enters the Blancpain diver's watches is also the number one in sales and in technology.The case of the watch is made from titanium and measures 48 millimeters in diameter and that is a dimension that is not suitable for Blancpain because they usual design smaller pieces around 35 millimeters. The big case was created to ensure that the big Arabic numbers are correctly set. The big numbers are used because the watch can reach very big debts and in that distance away from the day light the measuring components are very difficult to be read. Another important feature is that the numbers are fluorescent and only need 3 hours in sun light to sustain a glowing of 7 hours under water. Most of you will think that the properties of the letters to glow into the dark it usually disappears under the effects of time, and the watch will become impossible to indicate in the depts of the ocean but that is not just correct; yes every fluorescent compound will run out their properties eventually but the 500 Fathoms has developed a new ingenious system that every number has suffered a serious numbers of treatments and the Blancpain company is given you a warranty of 10 years just for those numbers and a warranty of 20 years for the entire watch and this is to be note that the watch is not used for diving the guaranty is up to 45 years, but it will not be a normal thing to buy this watch and not use its main property that is diving.An amazing piece of technology that can be found in this watch is the pressure valve and it is positioned near the hour ten. The main property of the pressure valve is to maintain the correct functionality of the watch because all of us know that when we go diving a certain force name pressure is acting on our body but not only and the same pressure appears over our instruments. What does this force do? It can be described by a factor that apply a certain force on any object that is not in the same pressure at the water and that is because the farther you go under water the more dense the water will be and so it has another pressure and you could only imagine what a tremendous force is acting on this watch. Well the pressure valve is connected to a small chamber that is filled with air from the su***ce (this is an automatic process) and when you submerge the pressure valve release the air so the chamber is starting to fill up with water and so the watch is getting close to the real pressure that it under water. Otherwise you realize that any other watches couldn't stand this enormous pressure and even if there are watches that reach 500 meters under waters from then forward any watch need some pressuring methods to go even deeper. About this watch are many that can be spoken but the most general idea is to go and buy one and if you are a sportive person and acting in the diving area you will find out that no other watch like this one exist at this time. The watch is relatively cheap and costs only 5000 euros but this price is worthy because you buy a very strong high teak chronology. Pictures with Blancpain 500 Fathoms Tags: resistance to water
