The Pilot Chronograph brings together classic design and engineering precision. The Swiss-made automatic movement is strong, without compromising on precision time-keeping. The finely crafted three-piece stainless steel case comes at a finely brushed steel or with a black PVD finish. The Archimede A Mes Depends Replica Vintage models draw their inspiration from pilot watches from the 1920s and characteristic typically decorative features. Apart from these aviation collections Archimede also produce a range of sports timepieces, Archimede SportTaucher, especially designed for divers.Well, it is patriotic if your federal colours happen to be red, white, or blue. For all those residents of other countries, it’s possible to just see these as a few fantastic color additions to the present lineup of the excellent Pilot 42 range.Archimede’s flieger line started to get some colour back in 2007, when they released the Pilot 42 W (white dial), which had been the first time they had a non-black Flieger dial (which is the conventional alternative) in the group. Given how well that version did, they decided in 2012 to add a red dial (with date) into the mixture. Obviously, not everyone who’s looking for a pilot watch wants a date window (purists, those), therefore Archimede only launched a brand new variant of the 42 R without a date. Additionally, it has only the Archimede emblem on the dial — no other decoration.
Conservative sport watch brand Archimede Sporttaucher 60 Review Replica does it again with the new SportTaucher (Sport Taucher) M watch. This diver is a rational man’s friend with a sturdy German-made steel case, 300 meters of water resistance and a sapphire crystal. It doesn’t aim to excite sot much as it does to simply perform – again, another Teutonic tool.
The case is 41.5mm wide, done in a satin finish (very tool-like look) with a matching rotating bezel. The crown is placed at 4 o’clock as is the date dial in effort to preserve the placement of the Arabic numerals located at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. I like the rounded crown guard and feel it adds a softer look to the case. At 12mm thick, the case should feel rather reasonable on the wrist.
Archimede will offer the SportTaucher M with two dial colors: Black and blue. The black version has easy to see white hands and hour markers with red trim, the blue model is trimmed in orange and has a bit of a “tropical” feel to it.
In addition to the metal bracelet, the watch is also offered with a shark skin leather strap – a unique offering for this watch. Personally, I think the black dial with shark skin strap is rather attractive. To add some visual interest you’ll notice that the dial has some depth to it, giving it a more attractive look. Inside is a Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement.
In addition to the Rue Archimede 7 Bruxelles Replica SportTaucher M, Archimede still offers the SportTaucher A which offers a different bezel and white dial option. Prices for the watch start at $895 on the shark skin strap and $1,065 for the watch on the metal bracelet and can be purchased online via Archimede’s website.
