before being housed in a 40mm 316L steel case that is replica Omega 1202.30 watch devoid of flourish but stoutly military in appearance.The slender orange-tipped hand set is really the only concession to fancy with the dial bearing luminous Arabics and minimal text.What is unusual about the Sif N.A.R.T is its water resistance rating – an astounding 1000 meters (or “metrar” in Icelandic), which would be impressive on a high end dive watch much less a specialty boutique piece.This is truly a watch built for all conditions.It’s unclear whether you can get this piece outside of Iceland so you might have to go to Reykjavik to buy one.Just keep an eye on the weather.
Jason Heaton in Military Monday, August 2, 2010 at 1:31PM replica Omega 2502.34 watch Much has been said about the RM027, the incredibly lightweight timepiece given to tennis great Rafael Nadal by Richard Mille.The sponsorship made headlines for a few reasons; first: the watch costs $525,000, second: Nadal would wear (and has worn) the watch on his wrist during matches, and third: the thing is supposedly as light as a piece of .The first and second point are undoubtedly true, but we were curious just how light this watch could be, especially with a tourbillon on board.Apparently we weren't the only ones who had this curiosity because a member of the Purists went ahead and dropped one of the fifty RM027s that exist on this planet into a pool of water.
because, you know, we're sure this half million dollar replica Omega 1376.71 watch designed for tennis is waterproof, right?In all seriousness, the test was to see if the RM would float.Not too many watches we know of float on water, even the ultra thin and completely plastic Swatch doesn't float, so what would make us believe a Richard Mille tourbillon would? But, this watch supposedly weighs 21 grams (up 1 gram from the original specs due to mechanical changes), which is nothing short of incredibly light.So, this forum member went ahead and dropped the RM027 into a pool of water and watched what happened.And you know what, it floats!(via PuristsPro) .
