Patton P42 Hyperbare and Immersion

Here are two new watches from Patton watches. A watch company
which is from France. This first one is called the P42 Hyperbare. It has
an oil filled case which measures 42mm, and is made of 316L stainless
steel, which is PVD coated. A screw down crown with special crown
protector is also included. It also has a 10 year Swiss quartz movement,
and has a water resistance of 1000m. Rubber and carbon straps come
with the Hyberbare as well. There is even an air bubble which is wedged
between the dial, and sapphire crystal which you can see here below.

Enjoy !



The second watch is the Patton P42 Immersion. It also has a 42mm case, but is
polished instead of PVD. Water resistance is 300m on this version, and it has a
Swiss quartz movement as well, but evidently does not have the oil filled case.
By the way prices for these watches range between 725-1550 euro.



Patton also put one of the P42 Hyperbare watches on a ship wreck in the
Indian Ocean. It was left there, to be checked on once a month by divers
to see if it is working correctly. So far it's keeping perfect time, and there
are no leaks at 1000m.

Not bad.

Not sure what the big deal is that a quartz is keeping good time...no matter where the heck it is

Cool watches!

Kinda B&R meets Panerai...

Not too sure about being oil filled and the bubble floating around...

Would get on my nerves...

nice looking Tom, dial and hands are great on the black one.

Good point about the quartz keeping good time Mark ! ..Guess it just has to do with
being deep under water for a long time, that made this watch extra special here sir !

I definitely see the B&R, and Panerai look in these Alan ! ..Nice comparison there ! ..The oil
filled/bubble theme reminded me of the Technomarine Abyss we had talked about last year !

Ron, you are right about the looks on these, especially the black one ! ..The dial with those GIANT
numbers is pretty neat. So are the hands, which you really don't see on every watch around either !

Thanks for your opinions here guys !
