...this Daniel Jean Richard ( L'Enfant de Girard Perregaux ).

 

nice tonneau shape and pleasing symmetry and not too expensive :D

 

Should really put the cat among the 'lefty' and 'righty' pigeons :)

Sorry guys, I don't know, why not Google them, Jean Richard Aquascope, I don't think they are particularly expensive, Daniel Jean Richard as a brand were incorporated into Girard Perregaux, I've seen some of their non-dive watches and they were impressive, real quality feel to them, I'd love to see some good reps of these. :D

 

Jean Richard has just unveiled a new diver's watch, the Aquascope. Like all of the timepieces made by Jean Richard, this watch is powered by the JR1000 (an in-house movement). This model was created to pay homage to the unique dive watches that were created by Jean Richard in the 1960s. The Aquascope stainless steel case is polished and satin-finished. The case features the brand's signature tonneau shape and is (44.50 x 40 x 11.85mm). The crystal is convex with a colorless anti-reflective treatment. To calculate dive time, the external bezel features a 60-minute scale, with 120 teeth (for half-minute settings). Surprisingly, the bezel is bidirectional, most dive watches feature unidirectional bezels, but in this case the bezel cannot be accidentally adjusted without first unscrewing the crown at 9 o'clock. Water-resistance is 300 meters.
