It has been over a week now since I received my Aquanautic King Cuda Timepiece and I thought I would share my impression. First, This thing is huge. Measuring 47mm w/o the crown and 17mm thick, it is a monster. It is not overly heavy due to the center links being titanium as well as the case back. The bracelet is one of the finest I have seen to date. It is 6mm thick and measures 30mm at the lugs and tapers to 25mm at the middle and then to 21mm at the deployant. It has polished outer links and brushed finished titanium center links. the bracelet is held in place at the lugs with knurled cylinders and hex bolts inside. The deployant is a butterfly spring and is top notch. The case is high polished stainless steel with a titanium hex screwed in case back. The bezel is 5mm thick and has a 120 click rotation and is held in place by six hex screws. These bezels can be interchanged with different types offered by Aquanautic. This is a great feature to have. The dial has applied indices all round as well as arabic numerals at the 3 & 9 position. It also has an applied Aquanautic logo at the 12 o'clock position. I do not know the type of lum they use, but it is very bright and glows for a long time. The lum is applied to all indices, numerals and hands. There is a day complication at the 12 o'clock position and a magnified date at the 6 o'clock. One of the most unqiue attributes is the propeller sweep seconds hand. This three fined hand is fun to watch ticking away. It is really interesting in the dark with the lum glowing. The hour and minute hands are skeletionized as well as one of the fins on the sweep hands to indicate the actual seconds count. The crown is big and has a knurled finish. It is protected by a heavy duty crown guard and latch assembly. The movement is an Swiss ETA 2834-2 and has perlage finish on the plates and bridges as well as a decorated rotor with an engraved Aquanautic logo and Aquanautic Cuda wording below it. The Crystals are sapphire for both front and back. The timepiece is also rated at 300m. The packaging it comes in is a big metal case with a porthole to view the watch. Inside the case is the watch, hex tool, additional heavy duty dual prong rubber strap, instruction and warranty material. I had the opportunity to speak to Aquanatic and found out that they are builty by hand in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand is fairly new and was started by four experts from the Swiss watch Industry. They are located in Place du Molard which is located in the center of Geneva and situated in the historic clock tower. This is a amazing watch. Kudos to Aquanautic!!
