    Not the usual divers

    So let's see some divers that we don't see on a regular basis. Even if it is a main stream brand, but a less seen model let's see those too. So let's brush off the cob webs and open those watch boxes on the bottom of the stack and post them up. If you have a set of photos show us as much as you can.

    I'll start with the Arnold and Son White ensign. About 6 years before being acquired by Citizen Arnold and Son was part of the British Masters watch group along with Graham. This 600m WR diver used a LJP hand-wind movement with date and power reserve complications. The crystal had an internal cyclops for the date, above the internal bezel. The dial had a grainy texture with large applied indexes with decent lume. Note the very unique hands and the high quality rubber strap. These had an over $10K retail price and came in about a dozen color combinations.








    Sorry I don't have a lume shot.

    Probably one of the more distinctive divers currently available. The case is unique and so are the hands. Comes in 4 color combo's plus there was a DLC variation of the Black/Green. Bremont Super Marine 500.
    Fixing the images:






    With the DLC version

    Pretty much any Aquadive would qualify for this thread.

    I bought one of these Aquadive NOS diver for my wife a few years ago. This is one with the Schild movement that they offered a handful of initially. She does not wear it much since Aquadive did not guarantee WR. I did a minimum pressure check and it was OK for a small bit of water.
