Giugiaro Prospex Diver
Giugiaro Prospex Diver
Saw this reissue announced today. I admit that I'm intrigued by the look. A bit of a Ploprof type unorthodox style fun summer watch. Quartz tuna style movement and sapphire crystal.

Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
So weird... but I kinda like it. Nice to see something different now and again. Probably very comfortable - like to see some wrist shots.

I like that orange dial version.

Put some different hands on it and I would love it. It would avoid my stupid wrist bone.

Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
These two, ever so slightly off-the-wall Prospex Divers come courtesy of the design studios of Italian supercar designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro who is responsible for all sorts of very cool reimagined objects from Nikon camera cases to furniture.
Their wacky-looking cases are made from Stainless steel and plastic like any good Propsex Diver; however their shroudings have been given a funky Lego-like surface that wraps around the entire right hand side of their cases and extends to the left side and down toward the right lugs.
They measures 43.8mm in diameter with a lug-lug measurement of 48mm and a height of 11.2mm. They are fitted with a domed Sapphire crystal, diver�s bezels and screw-down crowns and case-backs with engraved LE numbers.
Further divers features include: anti-magnetic resistance, water-resistance to 200 meters and hands and markers with Seiko LumiBrite. The Blue Edition looks like it might have a DiaShield coating while the Gold Edition has an IP coating.
Powering these two unusual suspects are Seiko Quartz 7N36 calibers which have an accuracy of �15 seconds per month.
Info I stole from WUS

Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
Even though I've long been a fan of Guigiaro's work the asymmetric case leaves me cold. Still, I'd be hard pressed to think that they didn't think every detail through.
only accurate watches are interesting
Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
The oddity is that it has the left handed crown, but the design would make it impossible to wear comfortably on your right hand. Actually probably very comfortable on the left hand.
Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
I'm sure it works overall. One downside I can see is having to hike your sleeve cuff up to read it.

Kinda reminds me of some weird Picasso painting.
Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
As much as I don't want to like it... I really like the blue. Looks like a perfect beach n pool watch.

For some reason, my head tilts when I look at it.
Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
Canted dials have been around a while. AP still has one in production.

Re: Giugiaro Prospex Diver
I kind of like it. I wonder what size and type of lug attachment it has.
