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.
Since the NATO phonetic alphabet word for Z is Zulu, UTC is sometimes known as Zulu time. This is especially true in aviation, where Zulu is the universal standard. This ensures all pilots regardless of location are using the same 24-hour clock, thus avoiding confusion when flying between time zones.
