NEW - glimpse at Kremke's next diver!

Of all the Fricker dive watches that have come and gone since the Dreadnought, the Kremke Subzilla has been one of my very favorites. Here is a quick glimpse at Ian's next dive watch project:


A bit about it, from the man himself:

"Sorry to be a tease with the pic, just still in the process of refining the design elements such as handset and dial etc. I've worked very hard on the design for this one, starting from the ground up and refining it over the last 6-8 months. No use of catalog parts for this one, will be completely original and unique to our company.  Hoping to have the design wrapped up over the next few weeks and promise to post the pics here."

Preliminary Specs:
  • Stainless Steel 316L.
  • Brushed and polished surfaces.
  • Undecided, though keeping it Swiss Made. Possibly Soprod, ETA or Sellita.
  • Hours, Minutes, Seconds. Quick set Date.
  • 44 mm Diameter bezel end to bezel end
  • 53 mm lug end to lug end
  • 22 mm lug width (width between lugs / strap width)
  • 16 mm height overall
  • Extra thick Sapphire (scratch-proof), double-domed, anti-reflective coating (inside only)
  • Stainless steel, screw-locked @ 4 o'clock position.
  • 60-clicks, rotating, unidirectional (counter-clockwise)
  • bezel with engraved elapsed time scale in black and orange type.
  • Stainless steel, engraved and screw locked with double O-rings.
  • Individually numbered.
  • Integrated Rubber Strap and Signed Buckle.
  • Water Resistant 500 meters; pressure-proof to 50 atmospheres.
