Too nice for the boat
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
This is a dive watch the way a Range Rover is an off-roader. It can do it. It'd rather not.
42 mm, 12.7 mm thick, 200 m, inner rotating bezel worked by the upper crown, blue gradient dial, steel bracelet. The 899A/1 is a properly good movement with 70 hours. On the wrist it's slim for the size and the dial is gorgeous, a blue that fades darker towards the edge.
What I'd worry about is the inner bezel crown. It's another opening, another thing to get sand in, and you have to remember to screw it down.
At $10,200 to $11,300 it's for the bloke who sails and wants something nicer than everyone else at the yacht club. I'd look and not touch.
