The Seiko Blue Monster

As far as I can tell, the primary differences between the newlimited edition Blue Monster and the Orange, Yellow, and Black Monstersare: The Blue Monster has a newermovement: the 7S36 rather thanthe 7S26. Both movements have the same features (quick-set day anddate, no hacking, and no manual winding), but the 7S36 has two morejewels, which leads me to believe it's slightly more refined. The Blue Monster has a domedsapphire crystal rather thanthe Hardlex crystal of the Orange, Yellow, and Black models. Hardlexis, well, harder, meaning it is less prone to cracking or shattering,but sapphire is far more scratch-resistant. Given the choice, I'dprobably go for the sapphire. The Blue Monster willprobably run you $100 to $200 morethan its more pedestrian siblings.If you're interested in one of these, you'll have to do somedigging around the Internet to find one, or take a buy Ulysse Nardin-buying trip toJapan. I would expect it to run you between $300and $400.Update: I was recently informed that the Yellow Monster actually can't be grouped together with the Orange and Black Monsters. The Yellow Monster is a limited edition, as well, and also has a sapphire crystal, a slightly different movement, a cyclops over the date, and a couple other unique features. For details, check out this thread on TimeZone.If you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko OrangeMonster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors. And if you're areal Seiko diver fanatic, you might even have the Seiko Yellow or BlackMonsters, as well. But now, there's a new monster to add toyour collect: the Seiko Blue Monster.The Seiko Blue Monster (Ref. SKZ213K1) is a beautiful, limitededition piece. Features include: Thick, brushed stainlesssteel case. Domed sapphire crystal. Uni-directional rotatingbezel. Screw-down caseback. Water-resistant to 200meters, or about 650 feet. Screw-down crown (at the fouro'clock position). Luminescent hands and hourmarkers. Automatic movement (23jewels). Double folding safety claspwith diver's extension (to fitover a wet suit).I have the Orange Monster myself, and it's a great Replica Ulysse Nardin witha very robust feel. They have a reputation for being high-qualityautomatic Ulysse Nardin gift sold at a reasonable price, and for having unusuallybright luminescent hands and hour markers. Seiko uses a material calledLumibrite which is very effective, especially on hands as wide as thosefound on the monster series.

Review of the MTM Special Ops Watch

The MTM Special Ops watch has a unidirectional rotating bezel to allow you to use the watch for timing purposes. Double locking clasp. The clasp on the MTM Special Ops watch has a double locking mechanism which feels very secure and robust. Low power indicator. The Special Ops watch uses the second to indicate that the ulysse nardin needs to be charged. When the second hand starts jumping ahead 2 seconds (every two seconds, which means it is still keeping accurate time), your watch is telling you that you have a few days worth of juice left. Once the second hand starts jumping ahead in increments of four, you have a matter of hours to get the watch recharged. Once the watch stops, well, I think that's pretty self-explanatory. You waited too long. Water-resistant to 100 meters, or 330 feet. The crown screws down and the caseback locks down to keep the case water-tight.If you like what you have been reading, you are probably wondering how to get an MTM Special Ops ulysse nardin watches. They are only available online, and only from the Special Ops Watch site . There are two models available: The Thunder Hawk, and the Black Hawk (pictured here), and both models go for $395.00, or $404.95 after shipping. If you have a need for the external illumination feature, and you want a nice, solid, heavy stainless steel watch, I think you will be very pleased with the MTM Special Ops.Additional Resources Special Ops Watch photo gallery. I was also impressed with how easy the crown is to unscrew and pull out. The crown is large and textured, *** it easy to grip and maneuver, most likely so that it can even be operated while wearing gloves.Features of the MTM Special Ops Watch Dial illumination. Press the button above the crown once, and the three LEDs at the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock positions bathe the face of the watch in a gentle blue hue, allowing you to easily read the time in complete darkness for about 5 seconds until it fades out. The hour and minute hands of the watch, and the hour markers, are coated in luminescence paint for additional readability in low light, but the dial illumination feature is really the way to go for quick and easy reading in the dark. External illumination. This is really the feature that makes this watch special. Press the illumination button above the crown a second time, and the LEDs at the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock positions turn orange and increase massively in intensity to turn the face of your watch into a miniature torch which can be used for reading things like maps or notes, or for signaling other parties up to a full mile away. In this mode, the watch will remain illuminated for up to 20 seconds, or until you press the button again.

The watch recharges by being placed on a sort of pedestal or a dock where the back of the case rests on the charger, and the bracelet hangs down below. The watch does not charge through metal contacts, but rather through an elegant electromagnetic charging system, which means the battery is actually charged through the caseback (some Seiko Kinetic watches can be charged this way, as well as the Fossil Wrist Net watch). It takes about 8 hours to fully charge (plan ahead and charge it while you sleep), and will run for approximately one month on a single charge, assuming you use the dial illumination and the external illumination systems an average of once per day. Rotating bezel.

Review of the MTM Special Ops Watch

I should also say that I can resize most nice rolex watches myself, but that's because I've had no choice but to learn. Unless the watch is designed to be sized at home, I always recommend taking it to a nice and cooperative jeweler, if you can find one.) One subtle characteristic of the MTM Special Ops web gifts for jewelry that I like is that the second hand stops when you set the time. It drives me crazy when second hands don't stop when the crown is fully extended because I like to set watches down to the second. The Special Ops watch is not amazingly accurate (±20 seconds per month -- pretty standard for a mid-range quartz watch), but I don't mind resetting a watch each month or so to keep it accurate to within a couple seconds. View the Special Ops Watch photo gallery.The MTM Special Ops watch is a nice-looking, rugged, functional timepiece. Apparently having previously only been available to the military and to law enforcement agencies (the Secret Service, Navy Seals, Air Force, Delta Force, Army Rangers, Special Forces, Swat Teams, FBI, DEA, Police Officers, SAS, and Special Forces worldwide), Multi Time Machine, Inc. is now *** the Special Ops Replica Ulysse Nardin available to the general public. The fist thing you will notice about the MTM Special Ops watch is its weight. If you prefer light-weight, inconspicuous timepieces, the Special Ops is not for you. If you like your watches substantial and solid, keep reading. The watch isn't so heavy that you will eventually lose the use of your left arm, but the Special Ops is a dense and solid piece of stainless steel.The next thing you will notice, after removing the watch from its packaging, is that the MTM Special Ops is a pretty nice-looking watch. It's not Rolex or Breitling good-looking, but it's unique and handsome. All three hands are easy to see against the black dial, and the Arabic numeral hour markers are large and clear. The 12, 4, and 8 are interrupted by the watch's lighting system (more on this topic below), but if you don't know where the 12, 4, and 8 are on your watch, you should probably just be wearing a digital, anyway. The next thing you should notice about your new watch is that you won't have to take it to a jeweler to get it resized. This is something I really have to commend MTM for. Having to get a watch sized at a jeweler is extremely inconvenient. More and more watches are available over the internet, so having to take them somewhere to get them sized after they arrive in the mail can be a huge downer. And I've found jewelers can be compete jerks about sizing watches that weren't purchased in their shop, or they will charge ridiculous amounts of money (or both). The MTM Special Ops watch, on the other hand, is *** to size right at home. It comes with a small hex key that you use to easily remove pins from links. And if you gain or lose weight, give the watch away, or eventually sell or trade it, it can easily be readjusted. (The only other watch I've come across that the owner is encouraged to resize himself is the YES watch.

Review of the MTM Black Seal Xtreme Dive Watch

I personally think this is one of the most practical and just plain coolest presentations I've seen in a tool watches gift online like this.ConclusionIf I had to choose one word to describe the MTM Black Seal, I would call it extreme. It's big, heavy, tough, and at $1,800, it's not cheap. It brings a lot of very interesting features together into a single unique package, however. If all you're looking for is tritium tubes, check out Luminox. If you just want an affordable silicon filled diver, consider the TechnoMarine Abyss. If all you're looking for is a well constructed dive watch, see the Seiko Orange Monster. But if you want all of these things and much more in a single watch which will probably serve as much as a conversation piece as a diving instrument, you'll want to check out the MTM Black Seal. Tritium is a radioactive gas (don't worry, it's safe — it's unable to penetrate human skin, so just don't swallow it) with a half-life of 12.32 years which means it glows brightly for about 25 years. Unlike luminous paint which needs to absorb ambient light in order to glow, tritium will glow consistently without any exposure to light at all. Why is this useful? If all you need is a dive jewelry which will remain visible throughout the course of a couple hour dive, you don't need tritium. If you want a watch that you can see at anytime during the night, or if you work for long periods of time in a darkened environment, or if want a watch that you can use for night diving, you probably want tritium. I'm an amateur diver, so I don't need hardcore equipment, but I really like being able to wake up at any time during the night and easily read the time. It's worth noting that the MTM Black Seal actually uses a combination of tritium and some sort of luminescent material, as well. The tritium tubes are used for the indices and hour and minute hands, and the luminescent material is used for the numbers which means initially, you can see everything in the dark, but over time, only the indices and hands are visible (which is really all you need).The ConstructionThe MTM Black Seal is a big watch. With a 44 mm case and weighing in at 7.5 oz (about 2.5 ounces heavier than the bulky Rolex Sea-Dweller), it's a serious piece of equipment. That said, I have relatively narrow wrists, and somehow, I've been able to get away with wearing the Black Seal. The shape of the case and lugs bends nicely along the curve of my wrist which allows it to sit very comfortably in place, wearing much lighter than it actually is. And of course the Velcro strap reduces the weight considerably, as well.I really like the fact that the MTM Black Seal uses hex screws for the bracelet links, and to attach the bracelet to the lugs. Three hex keys are included with the watch which makes it very easy to size yourself, and the spring bar micro adjuster lets you further refine the fit. I would love to see other stainless steel bracelets adopt a system like MTM's. Why should people have to bring their watches in to a jeweler to get adjusted? The hex screws make the bracelet easy to size, strong, and in my opinion, lend it a unique and tough look.And then there's the crown. The crown is big and textured to make it easy to grasp, and the threading of the crown and stem is precise which makes it very easy to release and reseal. This may seem like a given, but I've handled enough watches with difficult to manage screwdown crowns that I really appreciate when it's done right.The PackagingWe've started paying closer attention to packaging recently on web watches gift Report because we've come to believe that it's an extremely important aspect of the experience of buying and owning a watch. Revealing your watch — especially one you've paid a decent amount of money for — should be a rewarding experience worth savoring.Whether you like the presentation of the MTM Black Seal will depend largely on your personality, and chances are, if you're interested in a watch like this, you'll love it. The packaging is tough, functional, practical, and very appropriate. The Black Seal comes in a watertight, airtight, dust-proof, and crush-resistant Seahorse model 120 case which most men will covet almost as much as the watch inside. Open the case, and you will find a foam block with the watch, tools, and appropriately sparse documentation (the instructions and warranty information fit on a single card) perfectly nestled within.

Review of the MTM Black Seal Xtreme Dive Watch

Unidirectional ratcheting timing bezel. Screwdown crown and caseback. Tritium gas filled tubes on hour indices and hour and minute hands (more on this below). 10 year lithium battery.It's sort of easy for a pressure proof case to steal the show in terms of features, but there's plenty more to love about MTM Black Seal:The HeadI find the overall presentation of the head of the MTM Black Seal to be exceptional. The red of the chapter ring between the 12 and 3 o'clock positions, the highly visible orange hands, the polished and reflective indices, and the yellow MTM seal against the black sheen of the carbon fibre dial all come together to give the MTM Black Seal a striking appearance. An added benefit of the silicon filled case is that it makes the entire dial visible from almost any angle which is a surprisingly cool effect.Tritium TubesI'm particularly fond of the tritium tubes embedded in the indices and the hour and minute hands.View the MTM Black Seal photo gallery.I did my first review of an MTM Special Ops watches gift online almost exactly two years ago. If I remember correctly, it was the only MTM model available at the time. MTM is now up to no fewer than eight different models with a very impressive selection of materials, finishes, and features. Although each MTM model is interesting in its own right, the new MTM Black Seal Xtreme Dive Watch stands out as an unusual and impressive feat of engineering.You may remember the MTM Black Seal from an article we did last month on extreme dive my web replica watches. The most notable feature is the fact that it's completely waterproof. What's the difference between being waterproof and water resistant? The easiest way to explain it is that the MTM Black Seal is completely unambiguous in its claims regarding water and pressure resistance: the Black Seal has been proven in a Swiss laboratory to remain fully intact at the deepest known point on earth, the Mariana Trench, which is about 12,000 meters, or about 39,370 feet.MTM's secret is the silicon oil filled case which is designed to equalize the pressure exerted on the replica watches in a way which makes it virtually compression-proof. There are a few other watches out there which make the same claim, but none with quite the unique feature set of the MTM Black Seal: Silicon filled, compression-proof case. Waterproof (not water-resistant) to 12,000 meters, 39,370 feet, 6,600 fathoms, 7.5 miles, or 2.5 leagues! Solid stainless steel 44 mm case (49 mm with the crown) with black ION/PVD plating. Solid stainless steel bracelet, also with black ION/PVD plating. There's no dive extension on the bracelet to allow it to fit over a wetsuit, but that's what the included interchangeable Velcro strap is for.Double locking clasp.The MTM Black Seal uses both a fliplock and push-button locking mechanism for a rock-solid steel clasp. Swiss-made Ronda quartz 715 movement with date (specially calibrated to compensate for fluid resistance). Carbon fibre dial. Thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
