Ok, nerdy enough topic

but I was thinking about model names. Since this is a part of marketing/branding and hopefully leads to some kind of positive associations for the potential buyer I thought this could be interesting. Anyway two examples of dive watches:

Number 1: Rolex Seadweller

For me, deep sea diving is as mysterious as space exploration. Deep, cold oceans with no margins for errors.

Number 2: Omega Planet Ocean

This name is warmer, more adventurous in a recreational way.

Any other good names out there?

Rollie2011 · 25 April 2012, 11:46 AM

Nautilus... Submariner... Explorer...

all cool names

kilyung · 25 April 2012, 11:53 AM

AP Survivor is a cool name.

The good thing about it is that you can nickname it APROOCJALE.

I like the names of the Patek Philippe Celestial and the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'île. I think they sound quite majestic.

i like watches with the word "master"

not about places, events,

ill think of something along the way.

I agree

johnswatch · 26 April 2012, 05:33 AM

I have an Oris Der Meistertacher.

Sounds more like the title of a European "speciality" film.

Best name is a little predictable - Submariner. Conjurs up daring, stealth, engineering, naval exploits and deep oceans.

You know, I really like when companies use their own language. Like A. Lange und Söhne for example. Their Daymatic (day-date) has wochentag (day of week) on the dial and the first letter for the German days of the week indicator.

Master Compressor. Sounds like something on the Death Star.

Personally think that Seadweller is a cool name.

I love the name of the Deep Sea Challenge. Also, I may be alone here with this, but I love Black Magic (by Hublot) as well, not to mention the name "Big Bang" of their main product line. And I guess it would be a bit boring to mention Royal Oak and Nautilus

Seiko7A38 · 28 April 2012, 07:39 PM

Moi ? Je t'aime le mot 'Spationaute' - as in the Yema Spationaute III.

Not just because it's French, was genuinely worn in space in 1988, and is based on a the Seiko 7A38 calibre ....

.... but because it's different to all those all-too-common Omega Speedmaster moon watches.

In this photo, French astronaut Jean-Loup Chrétien may be juggling weightless Omega Speedmasters ....
but on his right wrist is a Yema Spationaute III.

Very cool pic

The Speedmaster is the no nonsense space exploration watch. Probably the best association that any watch could have.

HL65 · 28 April 2012, 09:29 PM

For me 5070P come to mind...
