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.
