This just in - ARCHIMEDE SportTaucher






Mr. Ickler was kind enough to send me the details of the newest ARCHIMEDE offering.  The Ickler family are the folks behind Limes, Defakto as well as another brand - Autran & Viala.

This is the ARCHIMEDE SportTauscher




It is available in really nice blue dial - and what I really, REALLY love are the ORANGE hands and the ORANGE numbers - really striking!

But if Blue is not your color, the folks at ARCHIMEDE have you covered with a beautifully understated white dial option.

This is a solid stainless steel watch, and at 41.5 mm it is a refreshing move back to a more traditional sized diver's watch.  Powered by ETA's 2824-2 self-winding movement, ARCHIMEDE has really delivered the goods.  

I also have to say that I really love the use of a sharkskin strap.  You still have the traditional options of rubber or a stainless steel bracelet for an additional purchase price, but I would personally be leaning towards the shark skin strap!


And best of all - you can order direct from the company!  Again, I am of course a little biased, but I have to say that it is great that you can interact directly with the folks who make the watch.
