Something a little different from Aeronaval Instruments

Not sure if everyone has seen these watches from Aeronaval Instruments. Thought
they looked pretty different with their case, a dial designs. According to Oceanictime
they have been making navigation instruments, and are based in Spain. They seem
to be capable of breaking some of the deep diving records held by some classic dive
watches of the past. This first collection is made up of three models which have
three different depth ratings. One at 1,000m, a second at 5,000m, and a third model
capable of reaching depths of 12,000m. Cases are said to be of marine grade stainless
steel, as well as PVD, with crystal choices of sapphire, and also 15mm polycarbonate.
Looks like there will be different dials available, as well as automatic movements. Their
names are the 7007, Kraken, and Leviatan.

Here is where I found this info..

Here are some photos..

Enjoy !

That's one I'd have to see in person before I EVER considered one...

Certainly maintains the "TOOL WATCH" look to it Tom! That case design is very interesting. Nice to see some variance from the more common designs. I'm not sure what that last picture represents but if it is a domed crystal...............it's fugly! Thanks for the info!

Looks good from the side...does the hatch pop up in the last pictures to let the space men out?

Very interesting. The 12K M looks like the shape of the very first Rolex Submariners.

They are interesting, if not gimmicky to me. Like John, I'm not liking the severely domed crystal.

Interesting. 5000 and 12000 meter water resistance ratings? Wow! Those must be just massive timepieces (the website states that the crystal on the 12000 meter version is 15mm thick). Definitely very original designs, too.

Really great opionions guys !!!

Alan, I think it would be nice to see one of those in person as well. Looks very
cool from the pictures imho, and would probably look AMAZING on the wrist. There
are supposed to be some different dials, along with hand sets to choose from also.
Definitely would be nice to see in person !

John, really seems like these watches combine what was cool about vintage dive
watches, and combines it with a very modern feel. Like you said, it's nice to see
something a little different ! ..P.S. I think that thick crystal only comes on the
Leviatan model. Not sure though.

I like that side view also Gary ! Not sure if the space men are in there though !
It's interesting because on the one hand you have an almost alien look, but on the
other, you can see that there is a tribute to some classic dive watches which
makes things seem more familiar.

Chris, I definitely agree with you sir ! These are VERY interesting ! Not sure
what the price on these might be, but they just look neat imho. Plus like you
are pointing out, the 12K M version looks similar to the original Rolex divers,
which is cool in itself sir.

Mark, these really do get your attention ! The regular models without the thick
crystal are eye-catching in their own right with the case-shapes, dials, along
with hands. The last one with the domed crystal looks like it's mostly about
paying homage to deep divers of the past I guess.

Ramirez, they look pretty impressive right sir ?! ..It's funny because the 1000m
model sounds nice enough, but then to have a 5000m, and 12000m also !!! That
really does make you say WOW sir ! That, along with the out of this world looking
designs, size, and theme seems pretty neat.

Thanks ALOT for your opinions everyone !!!

Thanks AT for posting these. Never would have heard of them, otherwise...
