About this entry

100% of key specs known.

One case and movement sold in two versions: the Model Three Diver (textured sandwich dial with cut-out indices, ceramic dive bezel insert) and the Model Three Dual Time (applied stadium-shaped markers on a two-level dial and a brushed steel 12-hour insert for reading a second time zone; there is no GMT hand). The brand gives all versions the same spec list (316L brushed steel, Miyota 9039, no date, 40.5mm x 48.5mm, 12.5mm, 20mm lugs, 200m, 3.5 x 6.5mm screw-down crown, external unidirectional bezel, sapphire with AR coating, side not stated) and Watch Report confirms the case, bezel, crown, bracelet and movement are shared, so the versions are variants of one model. Lume is BGW9 except the green Diver, whose dial and bezel use X1 C3; the Dual Time's bezel has lume only on the 12 o'clock pip. Watch Report (Diver, 2024): 120-click bezel, plain flat caseback (solid, per photos), no hard coatings, 168.2g (what was weighed isn't stated), oyster bracelet with male end links that add about 1.5mm to the lug-to-lug, screwed links, push-button flip-lock clasp with six micro-adjust holes and no extension; the brand says solid end links and a milled clasp. Whether the 12.5mm includes the crystal isn't stated. Crown guards: none, from photos. The Special Edition (2025, British Watchmakers' Day) shares the Diver's case, ceramic bezel and movement, with a blue, white and red brushed sandwich dial, polished applied numerals and markers, and is limited to 40 pieces; it was sold out on 2026-10-31, and its page says red and purple dial versions are coming. Every version was GBP 425 on 2026-10-24; Watch Report quoted USD 539 in 2024. The Diver Black listing's URL says "dual-time-powder-blue"; its title and photos are the black Diver.
