O.Time is introducing the last Aquadive: GMT model.
I like the Aquadive line and the whole design: Not needing any GMT in my collection but this yellow chapter ring and GMT hand are sweet.
I bet this model will tempt many WIS around: Look at that fresh lemon sliceThumbsUp02.gif
Housing the 2893-2 ETA , 200m water tight with a 43mm diameter case...
T.Lex announce 1000m tight but the dial tells 200m/660ft...??
As well as an helium valve would be unnecessary for a 200m watch.
I just wonder why it's called the 100 GMT(on the dial) since it's not a 100 ATM model like the previous usual models but only a 200m or 20 ATM...
I hope T.Lex or Aquadive can pass by this topic and explain it.
Anyway, it deserves a look.

After exchanging some ideas with T.Lex, it seems like the watch is indeed a 100ATM or 1000m model.
This case is the same as the 100ATM previous models.
There must be a mistake on this dial drawing...

Great looking new GMT from Aquadive Will! bravo.gif

For this case design, I actually much prefer the dimensions of the 100 Bathyscaphe shown here to the 300 Bathyscaphe case which is not only wider, but significantly thicker. IMO, the 100 case has those "just right" proportions.

Like you said, fresh lemon slice!thumbsup.gif

As told Chris, I don't need GMT but I really like lemon dials and find it very good looking. The case is great as well.
Since Aquadive is represented on the forum and that we have some owners as well, I thought that I should present it.

The dial been corrected: We speak about a 1000m watch, that's for sure.
There's also 2 other colors who are proposed now

A precision: The movement was said to be a 2893-2 ETA but this picture is showing a Soprod A-10 with GMT module.
Nothing wrong with that: Those movements been widely used in top brands.

So which of the three versions gets everyone's votes?

I kind of like the Turquoise blue. ;)

Really nice watch !

Love the Aquadive line up.

Especially the Bathyscaphe 300 Thumbsup3.gif
Love the thick case and bezel.


The dial and hands of the GMT model are really nice.
Like the GMT-ring and the big GMT-hand.


Generally i like GMT watches.

I invite you to vote on the color Philippe.
It might help Aquadive about making a first color run...
