The Dive Watch Connection

Not sure if everyone had time to catch Martenero’s first diver.

It's called the Belgrano, and it will have a 39mm stainless steel case,
200M WR, blue, black, white, and red dials with luminous hands, and
markers. Along with colorful bezels, stainless steel bracelets, and the
Seiko NH35 too.

A few pics guys...







W&W, and Martenero with much more for you...

Uff, what a mash up? "Hey, let's make a dive watch and try to make it not look a dive watch"...
Dial would have been fine if they had not added the circular lines, looks like they are trying to make a minimalist look.
And the bezel.......

The contrast on the white is horrendous

Their kickstarter campaign has 6 times their goal. I don't get how all of these people are so successful on these campaigns with mediocre designs.

The end links/lugs on this gives me shivers.

Yowza, seems like a swing, and a miss on my part guys.

Was actually thinking this one was nice to tell the truth, and wasn't the
same old same old. Will just have to agree to disagree as they say I guess.
Appreciate you guys being so honest as always !

Keep posting them as I always enjoy seeing what is out there and appreciate you doing it Tom. Don't let my cynicism get to you. Sometimes I need to stand in for Jacob.

It’s quite common for the end links to be corrected on the production models. That’s a big part of the whole prototyping phase.

The design is way too girly for me anyways, but I trust they’ll fix that end links issue.

Will do Nick, and actually don’t think you are being cynical at
all really. You are just saying what you think, and being
honest sir. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact that is what it
is all about.

P.S. Great eye, along with observation with the lugs/end links !
