For guys with big arms and small budgets
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
44 mm. 13 mm thick. 22 mm lugs. This is a chunky boy.
But the case is titanium, so it doesn't wear like a 44. More like wearing a big empty soda can on your wrist. You notice it's there but it's not dragging your arm down. Grey dial, rotating bezel, sapphire, 300 m. NH35 inside, 41 hours, no date (which on a dive watch I actually prefer).
$529 for a 300 m titanium diver is crazy money. In a good way. Swiss brands want two or three times that for titanium.
Here's where it falls apart for me. 44 mm is still 44 mm. Light doesn't mean small. If your wrist is under 7 inches, the lugs are going to hang over the edges and it'll look like you borrowed it. And the NH35, again, is fine but basic. I'd wear this to work in a heartbeat though. Banging it on an electrical panel, scratching the titanium, whatever. That's what it's for.
