Ok..whilst we are talking about Stowa Prodivers here (IMHO) is the best combo..but you won't find it on the website 'cause its a custom set.

Here's one that is NOT a "must have." It's a new Invicta model. You might say they were "inspired" by Bremont.

I actually like that. It ticks all the boxes and fans my 'tool watch' sensibilities. Shame about the movement, mind.

Hell yes! I was talking about the Magrette… Don't make me even look at or think about Bremonts.

might be worth holding fire and see if they move to the new Miyota movement that's just coming out..

If you like the 50 Fathom, Eddie Platts has a fantastic homage on his Timefactors site. I have the PRS50 but he now also does a PRS50B looking more like the one above. The quality is outstanding and would put a lot of prestige brands to shame.

I thought I had a pic of mine to show you but it seems the only one I have is a phone shot of my watch box. It's second from the right on the top row between the CWC5 and the PO. It has pierced lugs making strap changes a doddle, and it goes well with every strap I've tried (and that's quite a few). It's currently on a highly polished heavy steel bracelet.
