Well yeah, I liked that, "if you know where 12 is"
But seriously, this watch grew from the CD-1 (without timing bezel) which in turn was designed solely as a commercial divers watch.
No need for any dive functions, except WR and He valve.
When conceptualizing the watch, I did it with the "one watch" idea in mind, as most people only have one watch for all uses.
Not like you chaps.
A watch that would work as a diving watch while being dressy enough and the right size to wear everyday.
A compromise here, a compromise there, and the CD was born.
When it was in the more advanced design stages, the designer who was doing it (not me at that point) talked with me about what was needed and what not. In the end we came out with this and it was exactly what it was supposed to be.
I might make a scuba watch later, ok i
will make one at some point, and lume the shit out of it, add a lume dot to the second hand, take the HEV away, get a crazy orange minute hand and lume the bezel under a sapphire ring and make the thing out of DLC Ti.
Not a watch I would wear, but something that people want.
So at this time, the one model being released and the coming CD-1 are watches that were designed for me to wear and that is why they lack some of the functions that would see them as better "scuba" watches.
