Newmark – 71 Sports Diver, 38.5mm Stunner

Average Bros
Published on Jun 7, 2019

On this episode we preview an exciting new reissue from revival brand Newmark. The 71 has all the retro good looks you'd expect from a vintage inspired big crown diver but with it's 38.5mm case and 39.5mm bezel, it offers it in just about the perfect scale for most any wrist. The larger more dynamic dial offer enough visual impact for larger wrists while overall smaller silhouette guarantee excellent fitment for smaller wrists. Combine all of that with it's brilliant bracelet and I think Newmark have a real hit on their hands.

Nice looking watch.

I like the no date versions. Kind of wish they were at least 40mm but I could live with the 38.5mm. Nice looking old school diver.

I like this one in the blue dial variation with no date, the price is really nice too...

big delta markers homage to EKT ETERNA KON TIKI commemorating crossing pacific ocean on balsa wood raft... and like i posted...THOR HEYERDAHL couldn't swim...38.5 shrinking with the trend

Got my attention, no date and bi-directional bezel. Puts the competition to shame. Love the Blue dial so on notification list. 38.5 mm is perfect for me with 9015 engine.

I have long looked for an affordable but high quality dive watch inspired by classic Eterna and Zodiac designs. Mission accomplished. What an awesome watch. Sweet!

FYI, if you are interested in this watch, the owner announced this will be the only production run ever. Kickstarter ends July 16 so if you want one, you will need to back before then. IMO, quality of build is $800+ level but being offered for $400. Nice bargain and the Miyota 9015 is a well respected and mass produced movement from Citizen Group.
