Luminox Atacama Adventurer 1760 Series


[Timepieces]

 
 
The Atacama Desert, in Chile, is known to be one of the driest area in the world. To portray the timepieces’ ability to survive the toughest environments, Luminox named the Atacama Adventurer 1760 Series after this land of extreme conditions.
This series is equipped with 42mm stainless steel case, screwed down crown and screwed in case back, while rocking the casual, urban look. The Atacama Adventurer 1760 Series also possesses water resistance up to 200 meters.
 

 
The Atacama Adventurer Field 1760 features a small second sub dial at six o’clock, this is the first time Luminox is using such a function in its watches. Replacing the traditional use of hands, the sub dial features a turning disk with two arrows, mimicking a compass. In addition, there is a date window is at the three o’clock position. The series is available in four variations and the timepieces come in different dial colors, such as black, blue and brown. They are paired with leather, textile straps, or stainless-steel bracelets.
Alike the rest of the Luminox watches, the Atacama Adventurer Field 1760 collection is equipped with the Luminox Lighting Technology (LLT), which guarantees ultimate night vision for up to 25 years through the use of tritium gas tubes. Unlike other luminosity systems, which depend on exterior light sources to charge luminous paint or a pushbutton to illuminate the watch, the luminosity is built right into the Luminox watches, ensuring time visibility in any situations. The series also uses Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating that gives the final finishing touch.
The Luminox Atacama Adventurer 1760 Series is priced from RM 3,060.00

I brought along the Canon EOS M3 which I’m reviewing and took the shots below with it. The photos of the models were shot from about 20′ away at the kit lens’ maximum zoom which was 50mm, and without flash (I was out of range anyway) so I was solely relying on the light from the spotlight.

Celebrities in Versace – October and November 2017


[Luxury Fashion]
                        
Amber Heard was spotted wearing Atelier Versace on 13 November 2017 at the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures’ ‘Justice League’ at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood. The actress looked stunning in a gown from the Spring Summer 2017 Atelier Versace collection. She wore a black gown with nude illusion fully hand-beaded in a design of delicately draped netting in varying scales and shapes, with alluring shoulder cut outs, daring thigh-high slit, and delicate chiffon train. 
 
                        
Diane Kruger was spotted in Versus Versace during promotion for her new film “In The Fade”. The actress wore a multi-coloured tweed shift dress with black patent-leather panel and accent pocket, from the Versus Versace Resort 2018 collection.
 

Tennis superstar Serena Williams chose to wear Versace at the 2017 edition of Glamour Women of the year held in New York on 13th November 2017. She chose a black short dress with barocco gold beading and silk threading from the Versace Spring Summer 2018 RTW Tribute collection, and finished her look with a pair of black suede Versace pumps. 
 
                        
Naomi Campbell wore Atelier Versace to the 2017 LACMA Art and Film gala held in Los Angeles on 4 November 2017, . The supermodel wore a canary yellow one shoulder gown entirely beaded with Swarovski fringes. 
 
Versace Launches The Manifesto – The New Watches and Eyewear Collection of Versace 

 
Versace announced a new value and imagery series in collaboration with Luca Finotti on 10 November 2017 in Milan, Italy. The Manifesto of Versace is defined as “Love. Equality. Strength. Unity. Diversity. Power. Courage”. The series celebrates the diverse nature of love through elegant, black and white, and deeply emotive images.
“No matter who we are or where we come from, this is what I believe today’s society should be all about. Let’s stand together in harmony and respect.” Donatella Versace
The models are filmed while performing a dance that brings to mind images of the bucolic rituals of the mythical nymphs, while the recurrent interlocking of fingers create a V-like sign, that is not only synonym of strength and unity, but also echoes the V of Versace. The video has no dialogue, voice-over or words, as the action speaks for itself: two hands that find each other and two lips that lock in a loving gesture.
The Medusa, carved in stone and reminiscent of an antique Greek temple decoration, epitomizes The Manifesto of Versace and stands alone as the ultimate symbol of strength and empowerment.
