Three watches carried the week
The page passed 16,000 this week. Nearly half of you have been here less than a month, which still does not feel real.
Timex Ironman
A member of a Crime Suppression Unit at a police department in Georgia, and the least expensive watch this page has ever run.
Citizen Aqualand JP 2000
A Brazilian Federal Police officer photographed on shift at the airport, badge and credentials hanging on the jacket, a Citizen Promaster Aqualand on the wrist. The Aqualand is built around the round module on the side of the case, an electronic sensor that measures water pressure and drives a depth readout on the dial. It is a 44mm steel quartz diver, water resistant to 200 meters and certified to the ISO diving standard, with an alarm that sounds if the wearer ascends too quickly. He has appeared here before on a different diver, which makes this a rotation rather than one watch. Nothing about airport duty calls for a depth gauge, and he wears one anyway.
Seiko SSK035
A patrol officer with a department just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, photographed in the cruiser at the start of another shift as the sun begins to rise. His words. The inventory says the rest: body camera reading READY, cuffs staged, computer up, and a green dial Seiko 5 Sports GMT on the jubilee, on the wrist that will run the radio until the sun is back down. Sunrise is shift change somewhere in every county in the country. This is what the first minute of one looks like.
