Sharkproof Diving watch

Recommended Posts

When I started my watch collection I decided to remember my diving days by getting a Diving rather than a "Diver's" watch, which had to be a gen. After perusing the Diver magazines top watches I decided on a Chris Benz

watch, in particular the "stop shark finning" deep edition, which comes with a 1000 m dive depth, a helium escape valve, an dive suit expansion clasp  and a book called "Blind dates" about encounters with these magnificent beasts. part of the price goes to the stop shark finning organization which is trying to eradicate this barbaric practice.

Having had to wait for the new batch of watches to be made, it finally arrived and I found that the book was in German, The guys at Benz have now amended the website to make this clear and offered me part of the money back, but I countered with an offer to return the book for reissue in exchange for a rubber strap which has an  ND guide, and I now await my new strap.

Anyway on to the pickies

                                            https://picr.me/image/NnoYK        clasp on everyday wear (excuse thumb print)

                                           https://picr.me/image/NnGEL         Clasp with extension to easily fit over dive suit/gloves.

 

 

P.S.  someone on the forum was looking for a dive bracelet with extension Chris Benz do these straps in 20 and 22mm.

One of the greatest aspects of this forum is the opportunity to be educated.  I never heard of Chris Benz before but that is one helluva timepiece. Good one mate
