New Version of Archimede's Deck Watch

This just in from Archimede -



DeckWatch R
The R denotes the Roman numerals, which with the fine minute markers and small seconds dial, is reminiscent of the early watches used by officers in the navy and on merchant ships. First appearing as pocket watches from the end of the 19th Century, then as wrist watches from about 1910, their accuracy and clarity was developed for use in navigation.
The 42mm case has both polished and finely brushed surfaces. The crown is signed with the ARCHIMEDE logo. The matt silver and black dial with the traditional hands are clearly visible through the A/R coated sapphire crystal.
The movement, the renowned Swiss ETA 6498 hand wound movement, is visible through the mineral crystal display back. ARCHIMEDE do not believe in making a watch thicker than necessary, so at just 10.5mm the DeckWatch R feels as good as it looks.
