It was a pleasure spending a good week with this impressive purpose diver. The quality is apparent, and I really enjoyed this numbered edition.

The new Aquadive Poseidon Watch brings together two heritage dive brands in a singular expression of classical nautical exploration

Historic dive watch manufacturer and exploration pioneers Aquadive Watches have collaborated with Poseidon Diving Systems to produce an ultra-capable, limited-edition dive watch. This new co-branded Aquadive Poseidon GMT celebrates exploration of the uncharted, while paying homage to the many dive watches of the sixties and seventies ordered by major gear manufacturers of that time – including Poseidon, whose brand has long maintained a sterling reputation in the dive community for producing gear suited for the rigors of cold-water diving.

“Following the Synchron Group’s super-successful instantly sold-out 2018 Doxa SUB collaboration with Poseidon, we knew our fans and collectors were hungry for more,” says Rick Marei, Marketing Manager of Aquadive Watches. “It’s an honor for us to have the blessing of such a historic and respected dive manufacturer like Poseidon gracing the dial of our modern Aquadive Poseidon GMT watch.”

Inspired by the original Aquadive Timedepth from the 1970s and tailor-made for globetrotting adventurers, the Aquadive Poseidon adheres to the design codes of Aquadive’s best-selling Bathysphere 100 GMT – a markedly capable dive watch with 3300 feet of water resistance and dual time zone functionality, albeit one in a highly wearable 42mm by 12.5mm thick stainless steel case (overall height including case back is 14.1mm). Poseidon’s signature yellow livery lightens the 24-hour ring that encircles the perimeter of the dial, complementing the Swedish brand’s heritage logo at 9:00. The watch is fitted with an ISOfrane strap – a soft, yet markedly durable ladder-style rubber strap that sheds water quickly, and can be easily fitted over bare wrist and wetsuit alike.

The Aquadive Poseidon is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2893-2 automatic movement with up to 40 hours of power reserve, which simultaneously displays time in both 12-hour, and 24-hour formats. The watch itself is machined from a solid block of stainless steel, and is water resistant to 3300 feet. It is finished with a flat, AR-coated sapphire crystal. The bezel is also constructed from a single machined block of stainless steel, and is topped with a scratch-resistant ceramic ring, which has been engraved with a fully luminous hour scale, used for calculating dive time or decompression stops.

Only 300 pieces of the Aquadive Poseidon Edition dive watch will be produced. The watch has

a full retail price of $1,890, but it can be pre-ordered with a 20% discount for $1,495. Those who pre-order the watch will receive an exclusive Poseidon mission patch, and two ISOfrane rubber straps: classic black, and Poseidon yellow, enabling the wearer to customize the look to their desire.

I've always wanted an Aquadive since I first saw one. Just seems a little more $$ than I would expect to pay for one. These are very cool though...
