    As I have seen the details of 100N, it is just a regular "100" but with nato only, right?

    Price is nice :)

    btw, regarding bronze model... probably you know there is no even a word about it on the AD website, no possibility to order etc. I know it is listed within the eshop, but customer trying AD web cant know about it because no infos :(

    Hi Deepdive, the main difference between both versions, is the choice of using classic painted marker vs. applied markers, genuine ETA movements with standard factory adjustment, NATO straps, while not compromising any of the the quality specs of an Aquadive watch, German made CNC milled cases, 90% Swiss and European components.

    The new Aquadive BS100N combines German/Swiss quality craftsmanship and components at an even more affordable price. Taking in consideration the technical specs of the BS100N, it is probably the most affordable German/Swiss made dive watch available on the market today.

    The bronze BS100 is still a pre-order model, once the pre-order period expires, the model will appear on the Aquadive website

    kind regards

    Are the hands also solid painted, and not shiny?


    Have a nice day.

    Click on the photos at the link in first post, and you can see in the enlarged pics that the hands are metal w/ some painted highlights like all the other BS models.
    For members who understand, no explanation is needed. For thread crappers who do not understand, no explanation is possible. Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    I have the BS300 and the BS100 DLC... I am thinking about either the bronze or this new BS100N (for more a smaller SS experience)... I nice alternative for those that are looking to keep their costs down, while getting a fantastic diver!
