the very first complication for this young producer of sport Replica Rolex watches

Frederic Piguet vs. ETAThe Oktopus Moonphase Replica Rolex watches marks another important departure for Linde Werdelin, that being from the use of ETA automatic movements. While the complication is a product of Svend Andersen, the based movement is no longer an ETA-2892 but rather a Frederic Piguet Caliber 1150. This is important for a few reasons, Linde Werdelin has quickly become popular among high-grade collectors and to some the ETA movement was something of a deterrent. Now for those who don't know, Frederic Piguet is a sister company to ETA, also owned by the Swatch Group, but instead of providing movements to the likes of Hamilton, Longines, Omega, and hundreds of other brands of varying quality, Frederic Piguet supplies movements to the Swatch Group's Prestige brands, most notably Blancpain and Breguet, as well as prestigious outsiders like Franck Muller and Harry Winston.

It's getting to be that time of year, BaselWorld is coming! One of the first pre-announcements that has excited us is the new Linde Werdelin Oktopus you see to the right. Last year they announced the first dedicated diver Oktopus model, which quickly became a favorite amongst both professional and recreational divers. The First ComplicationThe new Oktopus retains the same masculine case as the original, but features the very first complication for this young producer of sport Replica Rolex watches ; a photorealistic moonphase made by Svend Andersen, the same man who created the movement inside their now nouveau-iconic SpidoLite SA. The Oktopous Moonphase is not your typical moonphase though, in fact the entire disc is made of a photorealistic, luminescent material so that it is easy to read. Why the Moon?Many of you may be wondering what sense a moonphase complication makes for a diving Replica Rolex watches , but if you've ever gone diving at night, or spent any time around serious divers, you know that many live and die by the phases of the moon. Diving under a full moon in clear water is an experience that borders on the spiritual. The Oktopus moonphase complication is actually based on a date function, allowing the wearer to view a countdown to the next full or half moon, so that you can plan your next dive accordingly; a very cool idea.
