Watch of the Day - February 6th

Today's Watch is the Tag Heuer Luminosity Senior
(apologies in advance for the terrible image quality - for reasons that will become evident as you read today's entry, the Luminosity Senior is an extremely difficult watch to photograph).
Description: The Tag Heuer Luminosity Senior is a one-of-a-kind dive watch; only 100,000 were ever produced. From the graphite gray face to the striking gold bezel, crown, and links, the Luminosity Senior simply oozes extravagance and class.

The Luminosity Senior features sharp lines and fine details that other watches simply cannot reproduce. But the real beauty and power of this watch lies inside. Where most watches feature finely-tuned mechanics, this fine piece of jewelry features only a hallow cavity filled with the Blood of Heroes, a rare and exquisite substance found only in the deepest, most dangerous parts of the Eastern Plague Lands.

History: The Luminosity Senior itself was designed in a time of excess - the early '80s. Importantly, the dive watch market was enjoying a boom in business that has yet to be matched in years since. With hundreds or even thousands of different dive watches on the market, the ball was in Tag Heuer's court to make something truly unique and legendary in order to dominate the dive watch market.

After only twenty days in R&D, the Luminosity Senior was created. Featuring a dive timer powered by the Blood of Heroes, a full micro-sized SCUBA kit, and a hidden harpoon gun, the Luminosity Senior (so named for its 1 billion candlepower diving lamp, built into the crown) was the crem de la crem of the dive watch market. Mission accomplished.

During this time, Dan was working for the CIA as an undercover FBI agent who was posing as a dive instructor equipped with this very watch. Unfortunately, no simple dive instructor could afford the multi-hundred dollar Luminostity Senior, and Dan's cover was blown within 24 hours of beginning the sting operation. Dan was relieved, but was allowed to keep the watch as a souvenir.

Also, the picture is bad because screw you guys the iPhone camera isn't all that great.
