A new take on the dive watch???
This came into my inbox. Design company produced a new take on the dive watch it is claimed. Must say I like the clean design. Not bad price for a SW 200 powered mechanical. https://www.instrmnt.co.uk/collections/d-series

Re: A new take on the dive watch???
Not for me. I'm glad you like it, but all I see is a Daniel Wellington style 3 hand dress watch with a dive bezel added. Also not so sure about buying a watch from a company that also sells couches, umbrellas and bikes.

Minimalism has its place, but a dive watch needs to get the job done - even if it will not be used for diving, otherwise why buy a dive watch?

The price on a leather strap is £595 which is the same price as a Trident Pro mk3 on a hybrid strap (using one of the £100 vouchers).

Re: A new take on the dive watch???
More of a fashion watch than diving perhaps and could meet the taste for minimalism.
Positive point for the attempt to regulate the movement though - The Trident isn't and it would be great if it was brought down from the maximum of +/-20 seconds. Mine regularly gains +15 seconds per day - But i'd rather that and the guarantee to be able to tell the time with the quality lume of the Trident.

Re: A new take on the dive watch???
Err...not for me. It's a Bauhaus diver, or should that be a Bhs diver? Not likely to ever get wet unless it's splashed with Riesling in a very hip, design-led workspace. Sinn and submarine steel, now that's a diver. Helvetica Neue is not a selling point either. Bit of a disaster me thinks.

Re: A new take on the dive watch???
I wonder who makes the watches for them? Maybe they outsourced the whole thing, design and all?

With enough money and nerves you can order emerald bezel plated titanium cased 1000 M WR rated valjoux powered HEV incorporated gold detailed diver in 48 mm with tiger leather strap and printed face of Queen Elizabeth on dial in lume.Caller wrote:I wonder who makes the watches for them?

If you order 500 of these they would cost around 200£ per unit including delivery from China..

Re: A new take on the dive watch???
I agree it has a Bauhaus minimalist look about it, in which case the date window is out of place, so it even fails on that front.
