Our project started in September 2009 with following goals:
1. create LE watch for WUS community manufactured by Steinhart
2. target price around 500EUR
3. design as a result of collaborative effort of WUS members and Steinharts designer Triton
The watch is described as a Tool watch, it is not a dive watch, but I believe it could appeal to you divers anyway. It is built like a tank:
titanium case
saphire crystal
exchangable bezels (two included with purchase)
solid case back with Proteus engraving
strong BGW9 lume (yes, we all are lume freaks)
bullet proof rock solid ETA 2893 GMT, date, hacking movement
300m water resistant

LOOKING REAL GOOD!!!!!
In Greek mythology, Proteus (Πρωτεύς) is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea"[1], whose name suggests the "first" (from Greek "πρῶτος" - protos, "first"), as protogonos (πρωτόγονος) is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony (Odyssey iv. 432), or of Nereus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability. The earliest attested form of the name is the Mycenaean Greek 𐀡𐀫𐀳𐀄 po-ro-te-u, written in Linear B syllabic script.[2]
