The MARC & SONS MSD-046 series is a versatile interpretation of a legendary and well known diving watch classic. Here, MARC & SONS is focusing on design and processing. The watch has a beautifully shaped case with an antireflective sapphire crystal and is water resistant up to 30 ATM. The one-sided turnable bezel has a ceramic inlay, which is equipped with Superluminova BGW9luminous material. This also applies to hands and indexes, which light up in a bright blue in the dark and thus underline the sporty character of this watch.
The watch is powered by an automatic movement from Seiko. The movement NH35 impresses with its reliability and is fine-tuned before the assembly by our watchmakers. The MARC & SONS MSD-046-4S has a well-readable brown dial.
In addition to the classic stainless steel band, the watch can also be combined with a rubber band, a leather band or a sporty Natoband, thus forming the perfect combination of sportiness and classic elegance.
I've had a couple of their watches--a diver and a pilot....maybe one other one. Definitely well made watches. Brand might be somewhat overlooked here in the U.S.
If you go to their website, they have a ton of watches--basically different versions of their divers and their pilots.
I agree with the review that the quality is on par with Steinhart. What you are in effect doing here is paying $125-$150 less and getting an NH35 or a Miyota instead of the Eta movement in a Steinhart.
I find that you can get some of these Marc & Sons on eBay for a discount to the website price if you are patient. Marc and Sons will put some models on eBay and let you make an offer on the watch. Here's an example, maybe you could get it for $250, free shipping https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marc-Sons-...464460&hash=item58f80cc868:g:XccAAOSwAPVZN6ej
