Retrowerk German Diver - The Watch of Rapture.

Hey Guys,

Have you ever played the game Bio-Shock? If you have, you will easily be able to connect the dots on this one. The Retrowerk German Dive watch with compass is such a killer vintage, stylized piece, that is the only way I can really describe it. It is Bio-Shock-ey!

I love the styling of all of the Retrowerk models, but this one is by far my favorite. The size of the watch is massive, the presentation is impressive, and the finish is killer. The compass on this model is removable which is a great feature AND it makes wearing it a little more friendly. With the compass this watch is about 25mm thick! It's 17mm without the compass.

The case of this Retrowerk is 316L Stainless steel with a brushed Bronze finish that I love. I really want to get my hands on a Panerai Submersible 1950 with the bronze case... but we will have to get to that one later. ll of the Retrowerk models house Rhonda Swiss made movements and use high quality straps, buckles and components. In my opinion, these watches offer a killer look for the money, and a terrific quality for the $600 - $1200 price tag.
