After seeing one of the latest offerings from Aquatico pop up on LWIG, I decided to take advantage of their $30.00 off Black Friday sale. I went with their Oyster 500 meter diver. I really like my Armida A7, and this watch shares several design elements of the A7. Although the bezel diameter is 44mm, the watch wears more like a 42 due to the 49 mm lug-to-lug distance and the wide chapter ring.

The watch comes on a nice black carbon fiber strap with orange stitching that goes well with the color scheme of the bezel and dial, along with a mesh bracelet. The watch dial and bezel color are advertised at "Midnight Blue" and look nearly black in indoor lighting. In sunlight, the dial is more of a dark sunburst blue. I actually like the plongeur hand style on the Aquatico Oyster better than those of the Armida A7.

The quality and finish on the watch are done really well and the watch is a real bargain, especially with the BF discount.

I am not really into mesh and prefer bracelets, so I now have the watch on a Strapcode hexad oyster 22/20 mm bracelet with ratcheting clasp. The watch is very substantial and weighs in at 212 grams on the bracelet, sized for my 7-inch wrist, yet wears very comfortably.

The real star of this watch is the lume, which is really bright and long lasting, rivaling Armida lume.

On to the pic's! Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

That one looks nice as well. Congrats! Being a fan of Armida and owning several that is a great testimony in the comparison.
 
Looking good from here and a big congrats. The angular lines of the bracelet sure make sweet!
 
Great looking Aquatico!
I really like the cushion case and duel lume colors.
Congrats!
 
Congrats man! I have been seeing a lot of these guys lately. Thinking about jumping in as well. Enjoy.
 
Another truly classic, beautiful watch, with some amazing add-ons! As a strap person, for the most part, I am totally intrigued by a two-color CF strap! It looks absolutely cool on the watch, especially with all that orange on the dial and strap coming together! And the mesh is an awesome thing, IMNSHO (In My NOT So Humble Opine!), an accessory that really DOES bridge the gap between bracelet and strap. However, even I have to admit that the watch looks amazing with that bracelet on it. Heck, this could change a man's view, if he's not careful! At any rate, CONGRATULATIONS on a very cool watch with a very cool "goodies set-up!" :wink:
 
That one sure does have a lot going for it. I could rattle off all the things I like about it but everyone has already said it. I especially love the case shape and hands
 
What’s not to like? It looks amazing on that bracelet! Congratulations and enjoy.:happy:
