A brick, but a cheap brick

46 mm and 16.3 mm thick. I'll repeat that. Sixteen point three. Your wetsuit sleeve won't go over it. Your shirt cuff certainly won't.
But here's what you get for $1,050 to $1,150: 600 m, a helium valve, a Powermatic 80 with 80 hours, closed back, rubber strap, a bezel with chunky grip. That's a serious spec for the money. Proper tool stuff.
If you've got a big wrist and want a saturation-spec beast without paying Omega money, there's nothing quite like it. For everyone else, the Certina or the Mido are far more sensible. I'd wear it for a week and go back to something smaller.
