Bathys sent out their Christmas letter the other day, and included a sneak peek at their newest project, the Bomb Timer. Designed as an homage to the timers used in WWII era bombers, the Bomb Timer is quite the timepiece.

While most U-Boat sales are for the basic Classicos and Flightdeck chronos, I find that Italo Fontana (U-Boat’s founder and designer) really gets to flex his design muscles with off-beat pieces like the U-1001. As with most U-Boat watches the U-1001 is not suited for everyone, but perfect for some. It is a large watch with a knack for attracting attention. While it is definitely a fashion accessory, it boasts superlative quality and all the features of high-end diving watch.

I’ve been lax in my coverage of Russian watches lately. Most Russians do not have, how you say, very high quality but they have lots of features and plenty of style.

This dude at Russia2All covers the Buran Stingray, a diver that looks like someone stole the depth gauge off of a Victorian-era submersible.

This “style,” if you want to call it that, came about in WWII and is very similar to the old-timey Cartier Pasha. Those bars are to keep the crystal from blowing up under water. This watch has an ETA 7750 movement modified to remove the chrono parts.

Apparently this watch was made in Switzerland, a move by Buran to lend a little credibility to their brand. If you’re in the market for a watch, take a look at the Russians.

Another episode of the HourTime podcast is ready to roll, people, and it’s a doozy. This one talks about the ugliest watch in the world as well as a huge cover-up by TAG Heuer. Get your watch nerdery on!

Sven at Buscum Ducis just informed me that he’s offering a special deal on his BD1 watch for you, our valued readers. This beefy timepiece is a mere $180 right now, down from $300.

You can pick it up here. To recap, we really liked this watch when we saw it and it has a Swiss quartz movement, sapphire crystal, and comes with a brown or black strap.

So this is pretty cool. It’s an LED watch with a touch screen for changing the modes. I’m probably going to do up a proper review next week, but here’s a quick look for you to whet the appetite.
