HALDOR Abissi
By TLex Introducing HALDOR Watches and their debut divers model, the Abissi. While the Abissi was designed in Germany and manufactured in Switzerland, HALDOR Watches are based in South West Slovenia near Italy.
Despite the Italian sounding name, the Abissi�s German design elements shine right through. The watch has a robust and purposeful look to it; not too dissimilar to some of the other German offerings we�ve seen from H2O or Limes.
Divers features include: a 4mm thick AR-coated Sapphire crystal, Swiss C3 SLN, a Helium Escape Valve at 9 0�clock, a 120-click type unidirectional rotational divers bezel with a ceramic inlay,
a screwdown crown and caseback and a water-resistance to 1000 meters. The Abissi�s WR has been officially tested and certified in a Swiss testing facility. The caseback as a cool aquanaut motif that incorporates the Haldor logo.
The Abissi has been made using top quality materials such as the Marine Grade 316L Stainless steel that was used for its 45.5 x 15.5 x 57mm case or the Zirconia (ZrO2) that was used for the inlay of its divers bezel.
The Abissi has been assembled in Switzerland according to the strict guidelines and regulations of Swiss watchmaking using the latest manufacturing techniques that the industry has to offer.
Judging by the close-up of the inlay, the execution seems flawless; those are some precise looking engraved markers, spotless filled, too � and that lume capsule looks perfect!
HALDOR only use Swiss Made movements that have been tested in modern Swiss laboratories.
These are set and adjusted to either TOP or Chronometer grade to ensure the highest level of precision. For this model this model, the Abissi receives an ETA 2824-2 TOP GRADE.
HALDOR will open PRE-ORDERs , today, December 22nd with an �Early Bird� offer giving the first 20 INDIEGOGO backers FREE worldwide shipping.

CREPAS Watches DECOMASTER thePROTOTYPEs
By TLex If ever there was a case of the pictures being able to do all the talking, this would be it
� they tell a story of three spectacular versions of one very special dive watch known as the DECOMASTER, the culmination of 5 years immersion in the field of dive watches.
With the DECOMASTER, CREPAS have revisited a little known experimental prototype watch based on an historical Omega diver, the Seamster 1000m.
As they did with the LeGRAND and every other model since it, CREPAS have created a watch that has all the charm and appeal of the vintage model that inspired it,
combined with the very latest materials and specifications that one might expect to find on a high-end modern Swiss mechanical dive watch being sold for more than 3 or 4 time sits price.
Not only does DECOMASTER boast a slew of high-end divers features; such as its Helium Escape Valve,
its 4000 meters of water-resistance or its set of interchangeable divers bezel complete with Sapphire crystal inlay,
but it makes use of a simple yet effective means of measuring depth using color via a chromatic depth gauge that has been incorporated into one of its 3 bezels.
Improving on the watch�s water-resistance by 2800 meters meant increasing both the crystal and the caseback thickness.
However this was achieved without having to increase the overall thickness beyond 15mm. The knock on effect resulted in the slimmer ETA 2892-A2 caliber being chosen to power it.
CREPAS are offering the DECOMASTER at a promotional net rate of 743 euros until, tomorrow, December 22nd. It will only be available to reserve until December 31st 2015.
Interested parties should contact CREPAS, directly.
