Technomarine just sent me these shots of their soon to be released Cruise Sport. It will be officially unveiled next month in Basel, at Baselworld 2010, which begins march 17th. The revamped design looks attractive, although I am a bit surprised on the decision to go with a mineral crystal over a sapphire. (One more photo and a Press Release PDF are on the "NEXT PAGE".)

The creative vision of TechnoMarine is reflected in every unconventional watch ever designed by the brand and in every revolutionary technical mechanism ever produced. Believing strongly in the power of excellence in a world of fake and mediocrity, TechnoMarine has shown the watch *** industry that timepieces don't have to follow patterns and that it's the job of every manufacturer to stimulate progress and innovation. Successful indeed, this brand of watches is now once again in the spotlight, because of its latest release called TechnoMarine UF6 MAG. The new TechnoMarine UF6 MAG approaches the same sporty design as its brother models belonging to the Blackwatch collection and enjoys a elegantly shaped case, measuring 45 mm in diameter. The beautiful contrast between sporty and elegant is given by the case, strap and dial which are all black and the bezel, made of polished stainless steel. The abundant white markings on the dial also add a touch of refinement and modernity to the watch. The new TechnoMarine UF6 MAG works on a genuine Swiss chronograph movement, also known by the watch connoisseurs as the Swiss Ronda 5004F movement. This movement provides remarkable functions, not to mention that it guarantees a 200 meters of water resistance. The amazing water resistance is assured by the safe closure of its case, its top being covered in scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Even though many could say that the best feature at this watch is its design, the watch connoisseurs could easily argue that statement, as the watch provides all the necessary functions as a highly advanced timepiece. Along with the traditional hour, minute and second functions provided, the watch is also equipped with a day and date function. Available in two versions, this watch manages to satisfy even the taste of its most pretentious customers. One model is made of stainless steel and PVD, while the other features materials such as titanium, stainless steel and rose gold. The new TechnoMarine UF6 MAG watch is constructed in the most appealing manner, while its technical performance provides the most reliable functionality. The design of the watch is completed by the black rubber strap, united smoothly with the case. The bezel is equipped with two lateral pushers, siding the crown located at the 3 o'clock position. Although it may appear hard to read at first sight, the dial of the new TechnoMarine UF6 MAG watch is designed in a pattern especially created to contrast with the rest of the design elements. The night visibility is amazing and on day light, the indications on the watch are very legible. Combining sport elements with more casual and elegant ones seems to be a recipe of success for the designers from TechnoMarine, as they have managed to create this exquisite timepiece appropriate to be worn at any event or regardless the dress code. The TechnoMarine UF6 MAG watch is definitely a collectible for those of you interested in TechnoMarine's evolution and progress. TechnoMarine UF6 MAG Watch Pictures Gallery
