Not sure if everybody has had time to check out this Canadian watch brand
named the Whitby Watch Company. Their watches pay tribute to Canadian
achievements throughout time, and include both diver, along with pilot's
watch collections guys.

Their Intrepid Diver Watch honors "The Man Called Intrepied", Sir William
Stephenson, and his efforts at a special military facility that was used for
spy training during WWII known as Whitby's Camp X. Having details like
a 44mm stainless steel case, 200m WR, sapphire crystals, uni-directional
black, red, or blue bezels, black, brown, or blue dials with luminous hands,
and markers, ETA 2824-2, and stainless steel bracelet, or silicone strap.

Just a few pictures...

Next, you have the Avro Pilot, and Arrow Type A, and Type B which celebrate
the CF-105 Arrow jet plane built in Canada, and flown by the Royal Canadian
Air Force. With specifications like 43mm titanium cases, 50 meter water
resistance, sapphire crystals, black, gray, or blue dials with luminous hands,
and markers, Seiko NH35 automatic, and cool leather straps.

A few of the many models, or variations...

That diver has a "Monta" vibe. The red one is awful though.

yeah, the red was an "OH... WTF!" when i scrolled to it. literally. the rest were "look, a new logo on the same old designs so many others have done," then *BAM* right up side the head with WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT color combo.

The sun burst dial makes it extra shitty.

Yes, red one is awful. Too generic looking and the pilots watches look like the Stowa/Laco parts bin. I wonder how much time is committed to design and how they bring the tribute elements in! I don't see it

That red one is seriously hideous.
