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.
The time-of-day expressed by UTC is the time at the prime meridian (0Â° longitude) located near Greenwich, England. The time in local time zones can be expressed as an offset from UTC. For instance, in the United States, eastern standard time (EST) is five hours behind UTC and can be expressed as UTC - 5.he Z zone is equivalent to Coordinated Universal time (UTC), which is the time at the prime or zero meridian (0Â° longitude). The phonetic alphabet refers to Z as Zulu. It is still used some settings (i.e. military, nautical and aviation) to refer to UTC.
