Well, now add Jaeger LeCoultre replica watches turquoise to the color palette. Behold, the SUB 1200T "NUMA edition."NUMA is the National Underwater and Marine Agency, an organization founded by swashbuckling author, Clive Cussler. Cussler, an avid diver and shipwreck hunter founded NUMA to search the world's oceans for lost shipwrecks - they had some successes, such as the Confederate ship, Hunley, in 1995. Cussler was a big DOXA fan and his fictional hero, Dirk Pitt, wore a DOXA in countless adventure novels. DOXA makes no secret about its gratitude to Cussler, who helped preserve DOXA's appeal into the dark years of the '70s for the Swiss watch industry. They even Jaeger LeCoultre replica watches created a special Dirk Pitt edition to coincide with the film version of Cussler's "Sahara" novel.The forthcoming NUMA pays further tribute to Cussler by putting the NUMA logo on the turquoise dial. Why turquoise? Rumor has it that Cussler himself proclaimed turquoise the color that provides the most contrast against hands at depth. Underwater optics aside, the color is definitely a love or hate conversation starter. There will only be 50 of the NUMA edition SUB 1200T made, so if you're in the "love it" camp, stay tuned to DOXA's official Web forum for pre-order information.
Back in Basel, there were some introductions that the entire fair was discussing. "Did you see the new Jean Dunand?" we'd hear, even from some would-be competitors. "What did you think of the Palace?" We were asked by everyone from bloggers, to editors, to distributors, to tourists. The fair was abuzz with this new Jaeger LeCoultre replica watches avant-garde creation that took over three years to create.Today, we present you the Palace as explained by Jean Dunand CEO Thierry Oulevay. We can't stress enough how impressive this timepiece is and how much you'll enjoy watching this video. There is simply nothing else like the Palace in existence right now, and you'll see why. Enjoy!Though DOXA has a long history with some impressive milestones (Bugatti dash clocks, 8-day movements included), they are best known for their SUB series of dive Jaeger LeCoultre replica watches watches that debuted in the late 1960s. The DOXA SUB was distinctive for its cushion case, beads-of-rice bracelet and a rotating elapsed time bezel that had the U.S. Navy's "No Decompression Limits" engraved on it for quick reference. The most iconic version of the DOXA SUB is the "Professional" model which has a distinctive orange dial, but they also have made yellow (Divingstar), silver (Searambler) and black (Sharkhunter) versions.
