Tribute To Deep Sea Alarm US: Some summer pictures.

 
 By: amanico : September 1st, 2014-00:56
The least we can say about this Watch is that it is really photogenic.

The texture of the dial, the faux patina of the hands and indexes of the bezel are really eye catching, as well as the two tone dial!

A very friendly companion for the summer.

Here on different stones.

 

 

 

On algae:


On some olive leaves:


And, to end in beauty, some local wrist shots:

 


 

A real pleasure Watch, and a friendly one, which helped me to recall the appetizer time and all the meetings with friends!

Better, my love for this watch is growing with time passing. Its aesthetics, charm, and complication, without speaking of the comfort of wear, and, as mentionned above, the pleasure to own it are some excellent reasons to fall in love, or to feed the love for this watch.

And it is not only a summer watch. You can wear it with the same pleasure all along the year, without any problem, even at work.

Yes, a great JLC!

Nicolas

What is the rationale for this JLC Deep Sea Alarm watch?

Nico,

Thank you for the pictures and I agree the watch looks pretty on or off the wrist.

I am a little puzzled and forgive me for not being a "military" or "utility" watch savant; what is the rationale for an alarm underwater?

I know that sound travels further underwater compared to air viz. our whale friends communicate by infrasound, but would the rattling alarm underwater alert the sea life or the enemy divers to your presence?





Regards,

MTF

There is no more rationale, Melvyn. Great question, though...

Nowadays, there is no more rationale, since Computers have replaced wristwatches for diving activities, and for a long time, now.

Nowadays, there is no more rationale about watches in general, since our cell phones give us the Time and for free.  wink

Rationale goes, most often, against passion and pleasure.

BUT, in the end o the 50ies, when the DSA was issued, the idea was to offer the possibility to the diver to feel the alarm warning him that the diving time was over, with the vibration on his wrist.

Was it a good idea? Yes. Vulcain took this idea, 2 years after the DSA for its famous Cricket Nautical.

Was the DSA a model of a diving Watch? Certainly not, as the bezel was not turning, which would have offered two ways to read the elapsed time.

Best,

Nicolas

What else ?.. Not much, life is good at these moments, ehh ?
- you made me an appetizer to re-take mine out of the vault, these days !

Meanwhile, I have to say, these canvas NATOs are super match with her !
Also something I should try, once I get a hold of these types..

Thx for this nice series, and some food for thoughts, as well - - in the lines above !

Best,
