Ahoy! Aulta Watches Launches First Automatic Diver Watch

When we last spoke with the team at Aulta watches, they were just getting the company off the ground.

With diverse resumes from the clothing, surfing and watch worlds, they created a timepiece company that resonated with their love of the ocean.

Two years later they’re launching the “Acuatico” – their first automatic diver watch.

It comes in three distinctive 41mm dial color options: white, black, and blue. The first two are offset with a black poly strap, while the latter has a 20mm stainless steel triple links.

Aulta has put some engaging technology under the dials too. The Acuatico features a Miyota 8215 self-winding movement that captures the energy of the wearer’s wrist motion and harnesses it for self-power. It runs at 21,600 beats per hour (BPH).

The watch follows Aulta’s standard 100m waterproof rating, meaning this is a great piece for surfing and days on the river.

The Acuatico is available now through Aulta’s website.

As far as watch collaborations go, the result of H.Moser & Cie and Studio Underd0g’s pairing is nothing short of bold and youthful. These new timepieces, aptly named Passion Project, are a wonderfully modern and innovative design that mixes unique aspects of both companies into two watches. The collaboration between an icon in watch design like H.Moser & Cie with the UK brand Studio Underd0g is a limited edition set that takes an impactful timepiece that gives users a unique colorway and characteristics. With only 100 pieces for sale, there’s no doubt that this limited edition piece will sell out quickly. Besides its enticing color scheme, this watch contains all the features that make H.Moser & Cie a favorite among watch enthusiasts. Making this collaboration even more exciting is that users will get double the fun, with both watches in this partnership being sold as a set.

At first glance, the Passion Fruit piece catches your eye with its interesting mix of gold and purple colorways that adds fun and liveliness to your wrist. And for users who enjoy having more options, this collaboration brings us two unique watches that share the same zest. The first of the set, the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit, emphasizes H. Moser & Cie’s most iconic characteristic, the perpetual calendar. This piece features the iconic mix of the purple lacquered sunburst dial and Maracuja fumé Grand Feu enamel dial on an 18-carat yellow gold base that shines. The star of the show here is the HMC-800, H. Moser & Cie’s recognized Perpetual Calender movement, which contains a large date display and month indicator via the central hand.

Zenith is not necessarily on the tip of everyone's tongue when they think of luxury sports watches (Rolex usually takes care of that), but we're big fans of the brand here at The Manual, especially its Defy series. The Zenith Defy collection is like Goldilocks and The Three Bears: An avant-garde design that is quite literally "just right" in terms of grabbing your attention, yet it's wearable for every day.

When certain watches are trending, brands must bow to consumer demands lest they go bankrupt, so in 2022, Zenith introduced the Defy Skyline collection due to the popularity of sports watches that featured integrated bracelets. Of course, since then, the line has undergone a variety of changes, including smaller cases, a chronograph, and ceramic models.
