It is interested to note that the Divomet Corum 163-150-20-0F01FM30R Men's watch features a bakelite outter ring, just like you'd find on the early Rolex GMT 6542s made at the same time.This particular (and particularly awesome) piece of Rolex dive history is coming up for sale at Christies November 15th Geneva sale and has a pre-sale estimate of roughly $16,000-$21,000.Click here fore more details.Hodinkee in Rolex Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 8:27AM Air Boss Mach 8 - $1995What does the $2000 Swiss Army Watch look like? It looks like the watch to the right.
Here you see the Victorinox Air Boss Mach 8 Special Edition.This 45mm watch is leading the brand into unchartered territory - the territory of luxury Corum 082-181-20-F701 SHRK Men's watch timepieces.Instead of the quartz movement you'd typically find in an SA timepiece, the Air Boss happens to have a Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph inside.And instead of a solid case back, you have a sapphire crystal exhibition back.And instead of a pin buckle, you have a double deployant clasp.From a distance, everything about this Swiss Army watch doesn't make us think Swiss Army.
But, just like the $300 Swiss Army chronos have Corum 396-250-20-0F01EB30R Men's watch always been fan favorites, watches that represent subtle style with excellent capabilities, so too do their new mechanical brothers.The idea of spending $2000 on a Swiss Army might raise of few brows, but we had the opportunity to test two of them for a full week, and we've got to admit, the same traits that we like about the $300 Victorinox watches translate through to the $2000 mechanical versions.
