IWC Mark XV Watch - Tom Cruise's Choice for Vanilla Sky

The overall look of the watch is completed by a comfortable and elegant leather strap.The history of IWC Pilot watches is tracked back to the early 1930-s. Since that time the IWC Company, located in Schaffhausen Switzerland, has been involved into producing the most durable Pilot's Watches. The IWC Pilot line was started by the Big Pilot's watch launched in 1936. Later the line was enlarged by the Double Chronograph, Chronograph Automatic, Mark 11, Mark XV, Spitfire Chronograph Automatic, Spitfire Double Chronograph, Spitfire UTC, and Spitfire Mark XV.The Pilot's Mark XV provides the best way of understanding the essence of Pilot's watches. It has proved to be a reliable companion for adventures on the ground or in the air. The timepiece is based on its predecessor - the Mark 11. It was immediately appreciated as a true collector's item.The watch is housed in a solid, rather conservatively styled 38 mm case. The date indicator is found at 3 o'clock. The timepiece is driven by a reliable and accurate automatic movement. It features a legible dial and is water-resistant up to 60 meters.

Milus Skeleton Beauty for Ladies

As mentioned above, the complicated movement is visible through the round-shaped sapphire crystal window in the screw-down case-back. The 18 carat red or white gold case of the Milus Merea "TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton" is 30-meters water-resistant. The timepiece goes on a white alligator leather strap that finely completes the elegant look of the watch.The Milus watch may be chosen as a fine gift for a lady who values items with beautiful outside look and sophisticated inside nature.Moving clockwise, the next seconds hand positioned at 10 o'clock is followed by the third hand featured at 2 o'clock. These two hands perform the same task as the first hand - they seem to be united in a persistent precision dance. There are two hand-engraved supporting elements advantageously setting the seconds hands off, thus drawing more attention to this remarkable mechanical display. To make possible the tri-retrograde seconds timing, the Milus watchmakers have equipped the timepiece with an automatic Swiss mechanical movement that comprises an exclusive Milus 2828 module.

Watches for Swimming

The vibrating alarm was designed for water sports like swimming, surfing, and water skiing where it's difficult or impossible to hear the typical faint beeps of most alarms. It also sports some interesting water-related features like a tide graph and a thermometer that measures both air and water temperatures. But if your focus is strictly lap swimming, another solution is a finger-mounted timer like the SportCount. The smaller display is harder to read, but the button is easier to press since it's located right next to your thumb. Like the Zoggs Lap Pro, the SportCount provides fastest, slowest, and average stats, plus a lap counter and total time elapsed. The only problem is that we're watch fanatics, and as such, we'd prefer a wrist-mounted solution like the Zoggs any day of the week.If you swim for fitness, finding a watch to keep track of lap times is difficult. Most general-fitness watches are cumbersome to use underwater, and often have displays that are hard to read. But there are a couple of innovative products out there that attempt to solve this problem.The Zoggs Lap Pro is a fairly standard looking digital watch with a large LCD display and a face that acts as one large button which you press to register a lap. Simple, easy to use, and, at $50 online, reasonably priced. The drawback is that you still have to touch your wrist with your off hand at the end of a lap, which you don't normally do while swimming, but it's better than trying to press a tiny button.Speedo has a watch called the Fastskin with a large digital readout which is slightly tilted to make it easier to read at a glance. However, other than the display, the fact that it has a stopwatch, is water resistant to 50 feet, and bears the Speedo brand, I'm not sure how this qualifies as a swimming watch.And then there are the Casio Baby-G Dolphin and Whale models with a couple of interesting features like a dive log and the time at 10 popular dive sites around the world. As it turns out, though, it appears that the Baby-G Dolphin and Whale line is more about saving marine animals than swimming with them since part of the proceeds from each sale goes to environmental protection initiatives. Still, not bad looking Baby-Gs. Speaking of Casios, the G-Shock GW-400J is a reasonable choice for the water.
