GUY DAVID Diver

By TLex Many thanks to the reader in the Holland, who unearthed this interesting little diver. The GUY DAVID Diver sports a large 47mm stainless steel case and a water-resistance of 200 meters. At first glance it looks quite ordinary, but in fact it has quite a nice vintage inspired case with a cool side profile; I couldn’t tell you exactly where the inspiration came from, though. The case is given a touch of utility with large hex-key lug screws and pronounced coin edge bezel teeth.



There’s even a Seamaster style manual Helium escape valve. The crown, which is sans guard, gives it a vintage-mil vibe, which is furthered by its Mil-Sub dial layout and swords hands. The black bezel insert has large Arabic markers; I have to say I find them a little too much on this watch, they kind of spoil it for me. I’m not too crazy about the Cyclops either, and I’m afraid to say its mineral crystal all the way.



Beating away under the hood is a Japanese mechanical, a Miyota caliber; I would guess the 8215, but it could be the new 9015. Either way you can’t go far wrong. I have no idea, who Guy David is, most likely some fictitious character. I don't find myself reaching for the credit card, but that's not to say the watch is without merit; I like the case, the hex-key screws and its bezel, but it's ultimately let down by its lack of sapphire crystal.



The GUY DAVID Diver sells for 200€ and is available online from AC Watch Co. who carry the complete line of Guy David mechanical wristwatches.

ENNEBI Fondale BRONZO (first look)

By TLex Here's a sneak peek at a couple of technical drawing of the new ENNEBI Fondale BRONZO. The Fondale BRONZO as its name suggests will be constructed from bronze. This will be patinated bronze, so that the finish of the metal will have already been aged to produce warmer darker tones. The watch itself is based on the regular Fondale, however it will set itself apart from other Fondale not just by its case material, but with a first for ENNEBI . . .

SAPPHIRE This will be the first time the Italian watch company has used Sapphire crystal instead of organic crystal. Two Fondale BRONZO models will be produced. Ref. 9680, which will have a turning bezel and a water-resistance of 1000 meters and Ref. 9681, which will have a fixed bezel and a water-resistance of 500 meters.




OPTIONS A number options will be made available: Three dial colors; olive green, matt black or red-brown. Three dial markings: 3, 6, 6, 12 Arabic numerals with baton markers or 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Arabic numerals with baton markers or 3,6,9, 12 Arabic numerals with triangular markers.

CROWN The crown will be made of bronze, but with a Palladium, Gold or Silver medal inlay, which could have either of the following designs: an ENNEBI logo, the Malta Cross, a 5-pointed star, a square and compass or a parachute and dagger.

CASEBACK The case back will have the Italian flag engraved on it and filled with green, white and red enamel; in the spaces between the flag and the reference, on request, it will be possible to engrave the name of the owner or a motto.




BEZEL The rotating bezel of Ref. 9680 will have one of the following pips used in a matching material to that of the crown medal. The design could take on either a Triangular pip, a Skull, a Divers Helmet, Star Cross or Parachute.

LIMITED The Fondale BRONZO is made in a limited edition of 72 watches. For more on ENNEBI Instruments follow the icon below . . .
