Power comes from a 17 jewel automatic movement, the Laco 24 which is based on an ETA 2824.2 Elaboré grade.

Irrespective of which of the four new Squad Watches you choose, all sport a special case-back with a 3D scorpion motif. I am not sure of the significance of the scorpion but it does look cool!

The Himalaya comes with a 22mm black rubber divers strap or alternatively opt for the Himalaya MB and get a 3-link Stainless steel bracelet with a diver’s safety clasp.

MSRP is 930€ (rubber) / 990€ (steel), so just another 50 euros for the bracelet which is very fair.

Thoughts? Understated yet sporty; I like it!
