WUSSE - Name of the watch discussion

[CzechMate]

As a son of Poseidon, Proteus was a brother to Triton, so a nice tie in there. The symbolic link to versatility is another good thing for a sport watch such as the WUSSE. We could use a seal as the image on the case back, since Proteus was the sheperd of Poseidon's seals....

Why not have a Proteus himself on the caseback? Like here on this coin...

Excellent. Proteus is a fantastic name.

littlenick's ideas of Hyperion or Kronos were good too, but I think Proteus is better.

I like "Proteus"

Having a pic of Proteus himself is fine by me. I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about it, though. I've also seen images of Proteus as the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish, like so:





I wasn't sure how much room we'd have to work with, though.

This will of course be a subject of a vote, but I think Proteus is first strong contender to such vote. Lets see if anyone brings anything else to this discussion.
I am also eager to hear what Triton has to say to such name.

I think Proteus is a great name....for a dive watch. Not so enthusiastic about it in this instance.

What would you like old curmudgeon? (BTW, I always wonder what does your nick mean?) How do you perceive this watch and what does it bring to your mind in regard of a name?

Ignore my question regarding your nick, I had a look in the dictionary...

Was looking for images for Proteus on Google earlier, and whilst it does have nautical origins, it is also the name of a long distance aircraft - which would be relevant to a GMT watch
