NFW Diver



This watch is on Jeff and I's "Must Buy List". I am a dive watch freak, and this watch flips all my switches. NFW is known for their unique designs and almost obsessive attention to detail. Don't believe me? Just send company president, George Fox, an email. Be prepared to be wowed by his genuine warmness and passion for his product. NFW is also known for their amazing customer service. George and his crew take a great deal of pride in their product and their service. Each customer (even potential customer) is treated like family. Truly a rarity in this online business age. And they have good reason to be proud of designs like this. This ain't your dad's dive watch.



This bad boy releases around the November time frame. If you're wondering what to get your watch fanatic for Christmas, you just found it. Here are the specs:

CASE CONSTRUCTION:
The case is constructed in 3 layers, and are connected via the 4 “screw barrels” that protrude muscularly from the sides of the case: 2 on the left side and 2 on the right which are integrated into the crown protectors.

MOVEMENTS:

Automatic: Miyota 821A (the new, nicely decorated version of the very dependable 8215)

Chronograph: Miyota OS60 professional-grade quartz chrono (screw-locked chrono pushers)

- SIZE: 48mm (excluding the crown and screw barrels) x 18.5mm height

- CRYSTAL: 5mm thick sapphire, with anti-reflective coating

- Triple layer SuperLuminova on skeletonized hands, dial markers and bezel.

- W/R: 300 meters/ 1000 ft water-resistance

- Will come with BOTH the screwed-link bracelet (with diver extension clasp) and the fitted rubber strap.

- Will pass ISO 6425 test standards to be considered a “real” dive watch (this will NOT be a "fashion" dive watch!)




This is one of many cool designs from NFW. Hit their website for more info.
