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.

JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope 300M DiverThe new JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope automatic diving watch was announced about three months ago, but was officially presented only last week at SIHH 2011 trade show.Like the rest of the gang, the watch is presented in a cushion-shaped case with a pair of screw-in crowns at the left and right side: the former operates the internal bi-directional rotating bezel, and the latter is for winding, as well as for setting time and date.The timepiece is, however, slightly smaller than some other JeanRichard watches that are powered by the same in-house JR1000 automatic movement.Its sandblasted titanium case is only 43 x 43 millimeters wide and high, which makes the watch more suitable for casual wearing.Make no mistake though, with a water resistance rating of impressive 300 meters, this is a real tool watch for hard-core divers. If used together with an electronic diving computer, it will serve you well and will certainly justify the price, which is going to be high.
