Blood In The Water, Water In Its Blood: A Brief History of Squale. Any history of the dive watch would be incomplete without a thorough look at Squale. But despite its illustrious history, this small Swiss brand is still largely unknown to all but the most hardcore dive watch nerds.
The official abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time is UTC. This abbreviation arose from a desire by the International Telecommunication Union and the International Astronomical Union to use the same abbreviation in all languages.
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is an atomic timescale that approximates UT1. It is the international standard on which civil time is based. It ticks SI seconds, in step with TAI. It usually has 86,400 SI seconds per day but is kept within 0.9 seconds of UT1 by the introduction of occasional intercalary leap seconds.
