I really like the design, I believe it's unique and very elaborate. However I'm not in love with the case. Theres nearly ten different companies sharing this case, not that that is uncommon, but this time it bugs me. Also theres other companies offering it for less. That said, I still really appreciate this watch. Debaufre' has really turned over a new leaf with some of the most unique and eye catching watches around. I've had both the Nav-B and Ocean which were both very impressive. I recommend Debaufre to anyone... |

Even if it's a nice looking watch, I'm personally a bit disappointed. The actual Triton is such a unique watch with a great dial,hands, ss bracelet and case that this one looks more like another Ocean 1 or another watch with a submariner style case and bezel. I wish they use the actual Triton case and bracelet...Question of taste for sure, i'm just tired to see Sub Homages everywhere by everybody...As for the quality, I think Debaufre makes some of the best watches you can buy...hand6.gif Last edited on Thu Oct 29th, 2009 10:24 am by DM71 |

Looking back at my previous post I may have exaggerated. I need to clarify that I was speaking specifically about the case. Other companies offering this case (or cases very similar to this case): Deep Blue (NO PRICED LISTED YET) Sonic Watches (WAY OVER PRICED) Arctos (Swiss Mov't, "German Engineering", $895.00 PREORDER PRICE) Wilson Watch Works ($600.00) Obviously not 10 companies I know of! I do apologize for my erroneous remark. Debaufre appears to be one of the less expensive brands as well. What I should have stated is that I am dissatisfied that many companies are sharing this case. Though like I stated before this is not uncommon. At pre-order price, the Arctos looks like a worthy competitor. Debaufre' is terrific brand and I hope no one thinks or feels that I was intentionally "bad mouthing" their company. I have owned both Debaufre and Steinhart watches that I liked very much. I am still considering this Debaufre diver as well but I may wait to look at upcoming Steinhart 2000m. My apologies... Danny H |

Dannyh I also understand what you are saying about the same cases being used a lot. But like you also stated that if you buy a Debaufre then you are buying a nice watch. My stepfather loves the one I gave him! And it my eyes that is half the battle on getting someone a watch. Do a review of your Ocean1 when you get time. Thanks, Terry. |

Thank you! Nice to know people enjoy my reviews. Unfortunately I no longer have the Ocean 1. I had the watch for a while and loved it. There are many wonderful things I can say about the watch but without having the watch in hand there are things I will forget. So no review... Debaufre should post more pictures of this beast! Underwater shots... Lume shots... Sexy shots... |

I am liking the design of this new Triton 2000m quite well. The thing that I think has thrown me off a bit (and I may still be trying to put my finger on it), on these new Debaufre dial designs is the Debaufre "Sun" on the dials above the Debaufre name and some of the additional dial circles (with contrasting textures). I think that I may be interpreting these dial designs as visually "less classic" and more "fashion watch" in design, but at the same time I think it may have something to do with the graphics I am looking at. I would love to see some true to life shots under outdoor lighting as I know that these Debaufre designs always have more of an impact in real life (I know that I appreciated my Csar even more in person!!!hand6.gif). The different hand set that Debaufre is using on these new ones is starting to grow on me.hand6.gif I will keep looking at these though...I do know that I really like the Debaufre brand...they are a tremendous value for the dollar and a quality piece at any price...just very, very well made watches!! |

Thanks Jeff...sounds like I'm not the only one struggling with these new designs. They are definitely trying something new...it's just taking me a while to warm up to these new ones. |

But then again, they might be trying something new... i too am having difficulties with the new designs. i was really looking foward to the new flieger, and it fell flat for me. back to dannys post, the deep blue was released and it is 599$. though, i dont like the color choices for the hands. i wish the black dialed one was an orange and white combo |

I agree with your thoughts on Deep Blue as well, kind of an odd pairing of colors. And I agree with everyone in regards to this watch! Though I already like this watch, it appears to be a bit dressier or "fashionable". Some (most) people may disagree with me but I think Omega's Seamaster does a better job of incorporating this particular style of dial and not making it overly dressy or fashionable. I believe this watch will have ALOT of wrist presence. Last edited on Tue Nov 3rd, 2009 12:39 pm by dannyh |

I think they have spoiled the look of the dial by putting the date at 6 o'clock instead of completing the balanced look with the 3, 6, 9, and 12 and putting the date between the 4 and 5. Last edited on Mon Nov 9th, 2009 12:10 pm by Janner |
