A Special Projects Division Edition of the Ares Diver-1 Swiss Movement 1000M Rated Watch
PDW’s Special Projects Division in collaboration with the American watch brand Ares Watch Co are releasing a special edition of their Diver-1 Mission Timer. This rugged, yet sophisticated and purpose driven time piece was designed for today’s modern adventurers and explorers. Featuring a Swiss ETA-2824 self-winding movement, hand tuned to certified chronometer spec, sapphire crystal with inside AR coating, an impressive 1000M depth rating, and built in the USA. This SPD Edition features the exclusive combination of a black Cerakote uni-directional diver elapsed bezel, black dial with the SPD Kraken Trident logo in C3 Super-LumiNova, sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, signature orange sweep hand, and the semi-recessed crown at the 4 o’clock position. This 1st edition run will also be serial numbered.
The SPD X Ares Diver-1 Mission Timer will be available with the signed OEM rubber strap, the PDW EWB-Compass Kit 2.0 with matte finish, an extra PDW Ti-Ring NATO-style strap, all packed in a waterproof Pelican storage case with certificates and extra accessories.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“There is a truly enduring quality to a timepiece whose heart is a self-winding mechanical movement. It speaks to a long tradition of analog precision and manufacturing focused on purely mechanical means. This watch does not rely on, nor will it ever need batteries to function, just your kinetic force of action day in and day out. Rated to go deeper than you will probably ever go, but moreover, an utterly reliable time keeping tool for the intrepid and those who are more than just ‘capable’.”
The SPD X Ares Diver-1 Mission Timer is available for $1975.00 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
