SWITZERLAND. Montres Charmex, which celebrated its 80th anniversary last year, has unveiled two new Swiss-made watches, from the two brands CX Swiss Military Watch and Charmex of Switzerland.
CHARMEX STINGRAY
The Stingray from Charmex (pictured right) is described as a classic men’s watch with a sophisticated design, boasting a thin 5mm case protecting a high-precision Swiss-made quartz movement.
The Stingray comes in several versions, all said to display a distinct character. The case, hands and hourmarkers are offered in stainless steel or plated pink gold. The anthracite dial is designed to underline the contrast with the hands as they move around the dial.
Water-resistant to 3 ATM, the watch comes with a strap in brown or black leather. Recommended price, including VAT, is €955 or CHF1,575.

CX SWISS MILITARY WATCH ARGONAUT 1000 TQ
ARGONAUT 1000 TQ is a professional diver’s instrument from the CX Swiss Military Watch brand, which won a Guinness world record in 2006 for its 12,000ft capability. The titanium 1000 TQ, pictured left, is described as a solid, powerful watch which is very light. Based on the 2007 model, this new-generation style is equipped with a helium escapement valve that protects the movement from the pressure of the water and guarantees total water-resistance to 1000 metres, the company said.
Powered by a quartz movement housed in a steel case, it has a chronograph function and extendible rubber strap. The 46mm diver’s watch features over-sized luminescent hands and hourmarkers for easy reading underwater. The extra-large crown, developed for easy use in any situation, and the graduated 60-minute unidirectional rotating bezel are also designed for diving security. Sporting a silver, black, yellow or blue dial, the watch comes on a titanium bracelet, or on a rubber strap with an extension for dry-suit diving.
Limited to 200 pieces, the watch has a recommended price, including VAT, of €1,398 or CHF2,307.
