Three watches carried the week

Longines Hydroconquest
An RCMP officer in Alberta, photographed at the end of an outstretched arm, the cruiser's crest and the letters RCMP GRC filling the background in full colour. The submission was spare. A role, a province, a watch. Sometimes that is all a wrist shot needs, because the picture does the talking, a working wrist in front of a working vehicle somewhere in big country. Alberta means long highways, long winters, and distances between calls that most departments never have to think about. On the wrist is a Longines Hydroconquest, blue dial and bezel over steel, a dive watch a long way from any ocean, which has never once stopped a dive watch from doing honest work on land. One officer, one province, one watch, and a quiet minute beside the vehicle before whatever comes next.
