No worry you will get it.
I think I have already found the right color, but I am still waiting for my map from Pantone to see which is the right color.

What about an automatic chronograph? ...with the blue carbon dial (Barracuda), and maybe a simular warm yellow carbon, and a black carbon? with...red, blue and/or white hands. Dial must not be busy - in other words, must be a simple/clean layout.

42/44mm case (PVD), not too tall/high, and a bezel with machined (NOT printed) tachymeter-scale. Screw down crown and pushers (at least 100m waterproof), maybe with a see-though/display screw down back.


It's always nice with a diver (have a Seadevil on pre-order), but it would be nice to see a chrono, for at change :dude:

I am not a fan of 40mm watches but I think about one in 42mm.

Sure a automatic chronograph  would be nice, but which movement?
The Swiss movements are hard to get and expensive and with the available Chinese movements  I have no experience

*chanting* Stealth! Stealth! Stealth!

(oh, and with Tritium, too... unless that's a total contradiction?)

My 2 Cents:

I believe using a unique dial color like a seafoam green is a smart move.

Leave the MOP for Invicta to play with—it just reduces the clean lines of a good tool diver.

Using an automatic GMT or Chrono movement is going to price it out of the "cool yet affordable" range, and considering the current economy, the sub $500 market is the only place you'd want to be in.

Keep Benarus Divers in the larger case sizes—sub 42mm cases just look "femme".

Lastly, (and most important in my book as a branding specialist), keep the unique second hand that you have been using for all of your divers. It is a distinctive, signature element. It is what drew me to buy your Barracuda, and It was the unique "signature" hands of the Doxa Divers that drew me, (and I know many others), to their watches.

Hope this helps Ralf...yourock.gif

thank you for the color chart, but so many colors are more confusing than helpful, lol,
 I guess that the colors on the screen look different from the real colors

yeah, i was (sort of) kidding about the tritium... I'd rather stealth.

Question (and pardon my ignorance)... is it still possible to have decent lume with a stealth design?
