 I agree with Phil. The Dievas watches are very well made.

You said you are looking for something "different", so I'm wondering if you have a specific model in mind. I own the Vortex, Focal, Kampfschwimmer,and a pilot styled LE called the Flieger Timer. They are all great watches, very well built, but very different from one another.

The Vortex and Focal are similarly styled (Vortex is Ti and the Focal is made from that Hardened Dievas 6Steel, which does appear from my experience to be EXTREMELY tough and resistant to scratches of any kind!) There is not a single mark on my Focal. I would say the bezel action on the Focal is more robust than the bezel action on my Vortex, and I know that is something they tried to improve on when they built the Focal. The Ti versus Steel certainly lends to a different feel on the wrist depending on what you are going for.

I would have no reservations recommending one, especially since you are looking for something different.
