Here it is the cushion cased diver IMO:
I'm very interested in this project another suggestion would be to use a 2892 as the movement allowing you to make the case thinner this will also contribute to it's wearability.
The 6309-7040 is the quintessential cushion case. It has lugs which are fully part of the case line, with no taper or elongation. It also has case width that exceeds the diameter of the face and bezel. These are the hallmarks of the cushion case, which is also typically with a much shorter lug to lug distance because of those traits.
An excellent modern rendition is the Tsunami by Noah Fuller, with its upgraded domed sapphire crystal and increased depth rating to 300 meters.
The Heuer on a Squinky rally is a nice one.

Pretty much looks like a cushion:

I would think someone would of mentioned the Panerai cases by now.
I certainly admire their case design and think they make for a wonderful cushion case timepiece.
Of course, they also are very touchy about folks using their design elements.
But these are legal(obviously, I am going to use this as an excuse to post pictures of watches with a cigar theme
)
