Yes, but not so much for the dimples Diver – Blue Surf/Blue Wave/Artemis Racing…oh yes.
And that’s just the Maxi Marine range…plenty of others that look well too.

A venerable company, with a distinguished history that is filled with horological achievements. I like many of their models, but prefer their vintage pieces. I have a vintage UN dress watch from the 1950's.

Here's a picture of the watch I posted to a watch/pen forum. I'll take some more tomorrow. It's a UN Chronometer from 1956 in 14k.

I only like the Freak. The others don't really interest me. The Freak is quite amazing. But then so are many other watches.

A fine example of their horological engineering prowess. I like the freak, but also like may of their watches from their distinguished history. I'm actually more of a Zenith collector, which also has a stellar history of achievements.

Always loved their straps with the metal inserts. That always brings me back to staring st these. But havent seen any case/dial design i like enough to purchase.

Id love to see that freak in person though.
Perfect name in a good way.

I used to have Maxi Marine Chronograph. I like them as a brand. I have set my eyes on the countdown regatta timer ⏲. If financial situation allows I might get back into the brand but I don't like them as much as I do like Zenith

I just bought Diver Chronograph blue dial. I also like Classic Sonata but lack of graduations in dial and price put me off. I know not a Chronograph watch but in between hour markers is so empty at all.
