So I'm now a few days in with my "new" Aquadive, and it occurs to me that this might be one of those watch companies from the past that some (clearly not all judging from the feedback) might not know about/remember.
So over the coming 10 days I will endeavor to post some historical tidbits and factoids.
The Aquadive so far has been a very comfortable watch to wear. It is, clearly, from a different era, and the little touches that were "of the moment" back in the 60s and 70s have evolved to "bigger and better" in the current world of dive watches. It's interesting in wearing something from that time, you start to really appreciate what went into making it, the design, the necessity for function over form.
I particularly like the crown. It is somewhat "outsized" for the watch, but really in a good way! It is also, surprisingly for its age, a remarkably accurate watch. So far it has gained 4 seconds (in fairness, day one was 6 seconds, day 2 - 4 seconds, day 3 - 4 seconds, day 4 - 4 seconds). We are into day 5 and I will, of course, keep you posted.
Lastly, I have to say that this is a really, really FUN watch to wear! Think back to your youth - Johnny Quest, etc.
More to come, stay tuned
