Limited Edition of 30 Pieces for the Americas Richard Mille unveils a new limited edition of his automatic diver's vatch exclusively for retailers in North and South America. The RM 028 Americas comes in a dark black DLC titanium case with red and white numerals and hands, and a bright red inner bezel and rubber crown protector. It measures 47mm x 14.6mm. The RM 028 adheres to diver's watch ISO norms 6425 with its water resistance of 300 meters (30 ATM) and a unidirectional bezel. This level of water resistance is achieved with a three part case construction and 22 torque screws, with complete integration of the lugs into the case system. This configuration prevents any accidental dislodging of the bezel from its case while diving. The skeletonized automatic movement of the RM 028 utilizes a rotor with variable geometry, a major innovation of Richard Mille that allows the level of automatic winding to be adjusted to the user's lifestyle via the setting of two 18kt white gold wings. MSRP is $82,000.

Jean Richard has just unveiled a new diver's watch, the Aquascope. Like all of the timepieces made by Jean Richard, this watch is powered by the JR1000 (an in-house movement). This model was created to pay homage to the unique dive watches that were created by Jean Richard in the 1960s. The Aquascope stainless steel case is polished and satin-finished. The case features the brand's signature tonneau shape and is (44.50 x 40 x 11.85mm). The crystal is convex with a colorless anti-reflective treatment. To calculate dive time, the external bezel features a 60-minute scale, with 120 teeth (for half-minute settings). Surprisingly, the bezel is bidirectional, most dive watches feature unidirectional bezels, but in this case the bezel cannot be accidentally adjusted without first unscrewing the crown at 9 o'clock. Water-resistance is 300 meters. Retail is TBDSource: Jean Richard
