Today, like a lot of other brands, Certina is digging through its archives and providing updated takes on classic designs, including this excellent, orange-dialed PH500M, a watch which is visually an exact replica of the original watch but updated with a sapphire crystal, better lume, and the impressive Powermatic 80 caliber with 80 hours of power reserve. Certina supplied watches for the Tektite I project in 1969, where a team of scientists and divers spent two months in an underwater laboratory, and is also known for having been the issue watch for some lucky Royal Australian Navy divers in the 1970s. While on the larger side, the combination of the classic Seiko DNA in this dial’s design, some of the best lume in the business, and the upgrades everyone wants in the ceramic bezel insert and sapphire crystal, the King Turtle is “shut up and take my money” material for many dive watches enthusiasts for a reason.Ĭertina DS Super PH500M Specifications: Price: $1,000, Case Size: 43mm, Thickness: 14.95mm, Lug-to-Lug: 48mm, Water Resistance: 500m, Movement: Auto ETA C07.611, Power Reserve: 80 hours, Crystal: Sapphire Certina is a lesser known brand to most enthusiasts but does exist on the radar of most vintage dive-watch fans. Both of these watches are inspired by an important dive watch from Seiko’s older catalog, the cushion-cased 6309 collection, likely one of the most popular dive watches of all time judging by the sheer number of them on offer pretty much everywhere watches are sold. Seiko SRPE03 King Turtle Specifications: Price: $625, Case Size: 45mm, Thickness: 13.2mm, Lug-to-Lug: 47.7mm, Water Resistance: 200m, Movement: Auto Seiko 4R36, Crystal: Sapphire Seiko’s excellent King Turtle builds on the success of the SRP Turtle collection released in 2016, addressing some of the most commonly modified aspects of the original Turtle by adding a ceramic bezel insert, an interesting waffle-patterned dial, and a sapphire crystal. They will then be able to enjoy the entire series for the next 30 days, before it is pulled from iPlayer and will inevitably be made available as a 4K Blu-ray.0% interest for up to 24 months available on select brands. To watch the series users will need to access BBC iPlayer on one of the compatible TV sets after December 10, when the final episode airs on BBC One. While that series offered just six glorious minutes of footage, Blue Planet II will be available in 4K HDR in its entirety – meaning all ten episodes. The broadcaster notes that this is simply just a test, although it’s a significantly longer test than what was available alongside Planet Earth II. Unfortunately, this new release isn’t a precursor to the launch of a wider 4K streaming service from the BBC. “ Blue Planet II is the first programme we’ve shown in such high quality and perfectly demonstrates how the BBC is pushing the boundaries of digital innovation,” Matthew Postgate, chief technology and product officer for the BBC’s design and engineering team says. The BBC does note that the ‘vast majority’ will, however. Sets from Panasonic, LG, Philips, Hisense, Sony, and Roku, are listed as compatible with the 4K stream, although not all will support HLG. In fact, there are around 400 TVs that are capable of enjoying the new release of Blue Planet II. Thankfully, there are now far more TVs that fit this description than there were when Planet Earth II was released in 4K HDR. In order to watch Blue Planet II in 4K HDR, users will need to own a TV that will support the hybrid log gamma (HLG) HDR format, while also being 4K compatible. But how exactly do you watch Blue Planet II in 4K HDR? Following the release of Planet Earth II in 4K HDR, the BBC has confirmed that Blue Planet II will also be made available in the immersive formats.
