Worn & Wound Review

Image
I thought I'd share the excellent review posted by Worn & Wound of my Prometheus Ocean Diver watch design. It is a very thorough review with some incredible photos. Full review here . Snippet from Worn & Wound Review "Turns out, not everything we lionize from our past holds up so well today. A few things, however, transcend their era and are worth returning to because their qualities aren't reliant upon the culture that bore them. I'd place the Ocean Diver in this category, while fully acknowledging the irony that its creation is intrinsically linked to watch collection culture of the late aughts. There is an indefinable quality about the Ocean Diver that sets it apart from its contemporaries, such as the Ocean 7 LM-2, early Christopher Ward divers, and Seiko's SKX watches. The internal bezel, the design of the hour markers, including the oversized numerals at 6, 9 and 12 o'clock, the porthole shaped case design and its bead blasted texture all add up t

Ocean Diver Chronograph | Sneak Peak Photos

I just received an Ocean Diver Chronograph and I have to say that I'm blown away by how well it has turned out. It's not available for a little bit longer yet, but wanted to share a few quick (sneak peak) photos with you ahead of the weekend. The pushers not only look awesome, they work perfectly with good firm movements. Enjoy!

Watch Report reviews the Ocean Diver

Another great review of the Ocean Diver, this one by Paul Hubbard at Watch Report that actually references this blog- ha!  Paul gives some good feedback about the design of the watch hands too, which actually reflect the original design of the hands. Full review here . "In my opinion, the Internet has been a godsend for the rise of small, independent watchmakers. They can find customers, actually converse about design, and foster a closer connection to far-flung fans. The Ocean Diver takes this collaboration to the next level."

ABlogToWatch: Retro cool Prometheus Ocean Diver watch review

Image
Another great review of the Ocean Diver by Ariel Adams of ABlogToWatch . Check out the full article and the nice video review below. "In all, the Ocean Diver delivers on its promise, a nicely made, highly functional, true diver's watch with a Swiss movement for a reasonable price. At $495 (339 euros) it is hard to beat what you get here . Plus, the watch is a limited edition of 500 pieces giving it an addition level of exclusivity. For all that I give the watch an aBlogtoRead.com good value award. You can get an Ocean Diver watch directly from Prometheus's website here."
