The Dive Watch Connection

Was wondering if anyone had the chance to see these new COSC certified dive watches.

The new watch from Swiss brand Ristola has a 43mm stainless steel case, and has
ETA's 2893-2 automatic inside. It also has a stepped dial, luminous hands, and markers.
Plus a domed AR coated sapphire crystal, 120 click rotating bezel, and helium escape
valve. Looks like you also get a stainless steel bracelet, and two nato straps everybody.

Some renderings for you...

The watch looks great. Conservative choices all around -- materials, appearance, size, etc.

The company name? Reminds me of a pasta dish

The name I want to yell...like "Ricola!!"

Other than that the watch looks good

Pretty nice. Not sure I get a traditional "Plonguer" vibe from it, but still nice.

I know "plonguer" means "diver", but here's another definition...

plon·geur
ˌplôNˈZHər,plänˈjər/
noun
a person employed to wash dishes and carry out other menial tasks in a restaurant or hotel.

Guess a Plonguer diver would come in handy.

Watch looks nice, how much?

Paging Terry for the shot of the Nato strap

Riiii sto laaaaaaa... Not a bad looking watch...

Decent looking, but would be better with a black date wheel and ditch the orange hand (I dislike when companies do red & orange together).

I wonder how much?

Yeah, not feeling the orange and black, other than that, looks pretty good!

did they leave off the "w"?

Ristola sounds like that brand of musical instruments lol

I like it they need to do something about all the writing on the dial. Ristola reminds of Shinola I think removing their name and leaving their logo would help.
