The U1 for normal-sized wrists
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
Everyone who looked at the U1 and thought 'too big' was waiting for this. 41 mm, 11.2 mm thick, 20 mm lugs. Still submarine steel, still 500 m, still a captive bezel and a closed back.
That's a very thin dive watch. Under a cuff it disappears. On the boat it won't catch on anything.
Same Sellita SW200-1 with 38 hours, same price as the bigger U1, $2,690 to $2,990.
If I could only have one German diver, this would be it. My one reservation is the bracelet, which is functional but the clasp isn't much of a thing. I'd put it on rubber.
