This arrived last week and finally got around to shoot some pics of it. The Deep Blue Master Timer. Deep Blue is a new company that looks like they put together watches using contract cases. Cases similar to NauticFish, Enzo and O7. The prices on their web site are extremely reasonable and after emailing with questions they sent me info for a further discount. I couldn't pass it up! Several of the models were sold out already, (more incoming), so I decided on the Master Timer. BTW customer service is excellent in response to questions and shipping.

When I opened the package I found a Black plastic hard-shell case similar to Pelican. Inside, protected in foam was the watch on the SS bracelet, 2 extra silicon dive straps (nice) and 2 nylon straps (cheap), along with an instruction booklet, warranty card and screwdriver.

I unwrapped the watch and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. This model is a quartz powered chrono. The case is similar to Enzo and O7 but it is not the same case, it is bigger and some of the proportions are different. 45mm diameter excluding the fat crown. The bracelet appears to be the exact same bracelet (except for the clasp), as used by Enzo and some O7 models, very beefy and solid. The dial IMO is quite nice for this price range. Real carbon fiber, nice trim rings around the chrono dials, crisp printing and nice highly legible orange hands. The lume is a beautiful bright blue, slightly above average in brightness. The beefy crown threads down smoothly and the bezel has nice firm clicks. The case back has an engraved wave pattern with a diver figure. The crystal is flat sapphire.

Like I said I was pleasantly surprised with the fit and finish of this watch in this price range. Below are some shots of the watch as well as some side-by-side shots comparing it with my Enzo and O7 G-2.
