yeah. I just think it would be kind of unique. Right now all dievas watches have count up... Maybe it could be offered as an option? Or like two similar models kind of like with the divergraph and the tritium.

I would have liked to have seen the Divergraph with a countdown bezelhand6.gif.....there is a Certina 2 that uses it but I haven't seen many other divers use it so it would be unique yourock.gif

Traser P 6504 Nautic


I'm not a huge fan of the flasy blue and yellow stuff or the plastic case, but i would like to see something like this (with the tritium bezel dot)...

maybe an upscale SS case and a nicer ceramic bezel with red hash marks and red tritium? that would be amazing.

I am sure Anders will have a upscale case and bezel,but as far as red being used on a dive watch I would say no as it is considered the worst color when diving as far as being ledgeable on a dive watchhand6.gif

I thought blue was the hardest to see. I'm no expert, but to me lume is lume- maybe red tritium has some benefits? There are few if any watches out there with this color. But I will gladly yield to anyone who knows more than me.

24mm Lugs and Long, to accept a thick leather strap

Drilled Lugs to accept Screw Ins instead of spring bars.

1st of all the tritium tubes are narrow and red takes time for your eyes to adjust to so most dive watches will not use tubes...they are nice and have a place....a diver needs to check his watch at a glance without any adjustment to sight.....blue trit would be equally as hard to see underwater imho;)

....here are a few shots of watches with tubes and dive watches using super luminova ...you will notice as I said the tubes are narrow and would be harder to see underwater opposed to the much wider traditional hands on a dive watch....I believe dive watch purists would agree superluminova would be their preference...and this watch is being made for the masses as a true dive watch imohand6.gif

my dgraph is plenty bright at night... Maybe it's just the orange- I hear your eyes are most sensitive to that color. I dont have any experience with really bright luminova watches but given that they go really dim after 30 mins or so isn't tritium a better choice?
also you probably already know this but with cameras you can make one watch look brighter than then other with exposure times.

I post a ton of pics so no tricks :D...as far as lume only lasting 30 mins?....not so for your better watches...these 2 as well as a 100 more of mine will last the night!....as far as diving is concerned a 30 min. dive is a good dive for a average tank of oxy hand6.gif

sweet. I'm just a lume freak and I like tritium... But I guess anything that is bright and looks cool I'm all for! :D
I said this on wus too-> I like any color lume pretty much, but green and orange just dont mix in equal quantities
