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 uses a 24-hour system of time notation. 1:00 a.m. in UTC is expressed as 0100, pronounced zero one hundred.. Fifteen minutes after 0100 is expressed as 0115; thirty-eight minutes after 0100 is 0138 (usually pronounced zero one thirty-eight). The time one minute after 0159 is 0200.ne minute later is 0000 (zero hundred), and the start of a new UTC day. To convert UTC to local time, you have to add or subtract hours from it. For persons west of the zero meridian to the international date line (which includes all of North America), hours are subtracted from UTC to convert to local time.
