Victorinox Swiss Army models are generally very popular, and I am sure the new Alpnach Mechanical Chronograph will be no exception. The Alpnach line is named after the heliport base for Cougar helicopters, which is the pride of the Swiss Army. The 43 mm case is two-tone made of 316L steel and black PVD. The signature of the watch is a 4-blade rotor that is used to display seconds at 9 o'clock. Of the standard functions the most notable is the countdown timer. The movement is an automatic chrono Valjoux 7750 with a 46-hour power reserve. No word on availability or price, but expect to pay at least $1000.

Check out this knife by Victorinox Swiss Army, made of pure platinum and inset lengthwise with 430 flawless diamonds with a total weight of about 4 carats. Other than the tweezers all the tools are diamond engraved. Most impressive of all is the $70,000 price tag. BUY

Victorinox Swiss Army will be selling their first mechanical dive wristwatch December 2007. The Dive Master 500 Limited Edition will be available to the first 900 people who pay their TBD price. This beautiful new watch will use a Swiss-made mechnical movement with a 42-hour power reserve. The 43mm titanium case and bracelet with is treated with a nice off-black PVD treatment. To display their first mechanical movement they have installed a sapphire crystal exhibition caseback. This professional dive watch is water resistant to a respectable 500 meters and has a helium escape valve to release any excess gas from the case. More pics after the jump.

Nice looking watch, but where is the new Mechanical Dive Master 500 with PVD coated titanium? This new Convoy watch is quartz versus the mechanical movement of the new Dive Master.
