Which was super cool. Because we hate to buy something with out trying one on.Well I have to say, in person this watch looks even better than in pics. It actually is a refined and thought out build. No back play in the bezel, super firm clicks when moving it also. The coin edging on the bezel is carried over the crown, which are both executed very nicely. The movement starts right up and it is a non-hacking NH35a. Bracelet is made really nice, the endlinks are finished perfectly to the case and the polish bits of it match the polished areas of the bezel.
The slightly domed crystal has a purple/blue hue to it from the a/r. The dial is really cool, it is a matte grey color and with the writing on the bottom of the dial it looks uncluttered. I am not a ladder hand fan at all, but it works with this watch. The case from the top resembles a Tudor imo. But it actually doesn't look like one from the sides at all.
This watch feels super robust and like it could take anything you throw at it. I weighed it on my scale and with the bracelet sized to 7.25 wrist it weighs in at 176 grams. That is a hoss for sure.
Here are some specs on it:
Modello Uno is a made in Italy professional diving watch. It combines vintage stylistic elements to a performance driven design: it features a slim 40mm case overtopped by the larger unidirectional timing bezel of 41mm to ensure a firm grip. The high readability dial with Super-LumiNova® C3 lume together with the double domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal provide best performance in every light condition.
The solid 316 stainless steel case, the screwed-in 2mm thick caseback, the 8mm diameter crown together with the high quality gaskets set provide a water resistance tested individually to 30 atm=300m=1000ft. Timing accuracy is guaranteed by the NH35A automatic movement tuned to 21600bph with 41h power reserve and hacking seconds hand. It comes in a limited edition of 300 pieces, singularly numbered, with a solid links stainless steel bracelet featuring a safety clasp complete with a hidden diving extension.
The watch is covered by a 24 months warranty.
Really nice C3 lume also.
