Chanel J12 White Watch Hands-On

Last year one of the most talked about dive watches was replica chanel j12 black' surprise hit, the J12 White. I don't think Chanel realized what a hit it would be, and even we were surprised by how many people professed their desire for this watch. Chanel is well-known as a producer of well-made, extremely durable, and rugged looking mechanical Swiss dive watches. There is absolutely no shortage of replica chanel watches in their collection, but the J12 White is the first model in their product line-up to offer a way of measuring depth. So will this be your next diver? We discussed the capillary-style depth gauge system in the watch more when we initially covered the http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-j12-white-41mm-replica-sale.html watch here. The brilliance of the system is that it is simple, unobtrusive, and useful. Unless there is physical damage to the sapphire crystal the depth gauge ought to work. Chanel in effect has created a back-up depth gauge system that many J12 may want to have in addition to their dive computers. It is pretty unreasonable these days to expect people who dive to rely of mechanical versus computerized equipment. Though it is not unreasonable for a diver to have a mechanical watch as a back-up timing device. That it may also have a depth gauge is an added benefit. It is also worth pointing out that mechanical watches with depth gauges are extremely expensive. Look to IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, or Blancpain for a depth gauge-based diver (among the very few brands that even offer one) and you'll be in for sticker-shot. All for what essentially will be a back-up tool? Most people don't have the budget or stomach to dive with one of those. Chanel J12 are serious tool watches at heart to taking them into the depths should be no cause for alarm. Chunky and produced in steel, the thick 46mm wide case of the J12 White feels anything but fragile. Nevertheless, it has a slick design and good looks that accompany most Chanel products. The 500 meter water resistant watch has the looks of an elegant beater. More good news is that when you aren't diving the depth gauge does not get in the way. What I've said about most depth gauge J12 (such as the Citizen Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter reviewed here) is that they feel almost strange on land because it feels like so much of the dial is being unused. The J12 White has a simple channel for water for enter around the periphery of the dial with a scale of yellow markers around the edge of the dial. While it is easy to notice that the depth gauge is there, it doesn't get in the way of the hands nor does it feel like half the dial is dedicated to the said features. For me that is really important getting people excited about wearing the watch more regularly than when they dive (if they ever dive). http://listasspotify.es/foros/21148/chanel-watch-doesn-t-slow-rafael-nadal-down http://qiita.com/watchesukchm/items/74807da53aa13a9de93c http://ktaqui.com/unipac/blogs/entry/Chanel-Chanel-J12-Black-Diver-Watch-Hands-On http://www.postanyad.com/ads/chanel-chanel-j12-black-diver-watch-hands-on/
