Breitling – BLACK IS THE COLOR OF THE ABYSS
A special version of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono – the only chronograph that is watertight and fully operational at a depth of 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) – the new Blacksteel limited edition is distinguished by its unconventional look matching its exceptional performances.
Black is the keynote here, variously interpreted in the steel case subjected to an ultra-resistant carbon-based treatment; the unidirectional rotating bezel; the large screw-locked crown and non-slip pushpieces; and on the dial base creating a striking backdrop for the white luminescent hands, hour markers and red-rimmed counters.

The Best Dive Watches – Forbes.com
Neal Santelmann
In the roiling sea of wristwatches, dive watches occupy a rarefied island all their own. Sure, Grand Complications may seduce with sophisticated movements and artfully cluttered dials. Multiple time-zone pieces have their appeal for world travelers. Ladies watches have that svelte and jewel-draped lusciousness, while big and boldly colored fashion watches are the latest necessary accessory of the ever-burgeoning celebrity class. But dive watches have that certain something that makes them stand out on a crowded reef or jam-packed commuter train. In a word (or two), they’re cool.

Sail-World.com : Lufthansa to sponsor Longtze European Tour
‘Longtze Premier sportsboats – the boats for the new Lufthansa European Longtze Tour’ SMI
Lufthansa and Longtze Yachts have decided to raise their sails together in the new Longtze European Tour, a circuit which will take place in five events spread over the 2009 year.
Longtze Yachts was established in 2007 during the America’s Cup campaign led by Le Defi under the China Team colours. Sailors and designers had taken advantage of 10 years of America’s Cup experience to develop a new, ultra performance, high-tech boat. Since its launching, the Longtze Premier has graced waters in Europe and Asia. The prototypes won the China Cup in 2007. In 2008, the production series boat accomplished a double victory in Hong-Kong, winning the Lipton Trophy and the Loro Piana Around The Island Race, amongst a fleet of more than 100 boats. It has also made a statement in Europe, bringing home victories in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland.

BENTLEYS are invariably swimming in superlatives but the latest one doesn’t concern speed or acceleration – it’s all about sound.

You can now order any Bentley with a $15,000 Naim Audio system that has a 1100 watt amplifier — the most powerful fitted to a production car. It took 18 months of R&D by the elite British specialist to adapt its technology to Bentley cabins, with the goal of matching the best a home hi-fi can deliver.
