An interesting piece in my collection is this diver with two bezels. It is a French brand and somewhat a rare piece. It is not an expensive one but definitely a collectible watch because of its characteristics.
 |
| The colors in the second bezel (inside) reminded me of the Philippine flag. The red, white and blue though is more easily representing the French tricolor. |
 |
| There are two crowns - the one at 2 o'clock is for adjusting the inner bezel and the second at 4 o'clock is for adjusting the time and date. |
 |
| This is a thick (bulky?) watch. It is also quite hefty. |
 |
| A close-up of the two crowns and the curve on the case that makes it a comfortable watch to wear. |
 |
| The case back shows the diver and fish. The lugs on the watch is actually 19mm but the space allows for me to use a 20mm nato strap. |
 |
| Lumes |
 |
| The obligatory wrist shot |
 |
| The watch movement is a Cattin C66 (CLD) manual wind that runs at 18,000 bph with a reserve of up to 40 hours. |
This is actually another dependable watch in my collection. I regularly wind it though I don't use it often. It provides me with a good reference for other watches that I choose to use for the day. I also regard this as a weekend or casual day watch and I'm more likely to use this when at home or when we go out in the weekends.
