    This is something to really consider. 42mm = perfect. 49.5mm L2L = perfect. 13mm case depth = perfect. Hands are unique! Dial options are fantastic. Hoping to see the protos prior to pre-ordering.

    Thanks guys, we are exited about this one as well, we will finalize CATIA work and solid work within next two weeks and start tooling for the case, these are unique hands so it will also require new tooling as well. If all goes well we hope within 90 days or so, i will be at the factory to supervise a few things next month, we like to get an idea on the mix for UTC and Diver orders by then, at the moment we are leaning on 50/50 order of UTC and Diver model......

    Joe - excellent design! Thanks for making a 42mm model - that size is perfect for me for an "everyday watch".

    Just placed my pre-order....

    Hello Joe,

    I really like this no crown guard version of the ZULU DIVER AUTOMATIC which I saw on Lex's Oceanictimeblogspot. Will this version be available?

    These look awesome Joe! I have been wanting to buy a Zixen diver but your offerings are a tad too big for my puny wrist! 42mm is perfect for my wrist so I am definitely signing up for this!

    For the UTC, my concern is that the bezel seems to be too wide (at least in the rendering). Also, its a tad too busy. Perhaps you should remove the markers for the odd number hours like below. Just a suggestion Can't wait!!!

    Joe,
    Would there be anyway possible to get the Zulu Diver with the orange hands instead of white.? Thanks.

    Sorry guys we can not have two different cases for ZULU,some have made comments on removing the crown Guard, here is a front view no crown guard and, with bezel marking with tone down Gray pigment. We need to keep the markings for UTC setting......., we have to finalize the design by next Wed...

    Exactly! The dimensions are perfect finally.. I see a bit of Korsbek in this one and lots of cool design elements that go well together I'm a big fan of the diver and will be pre-ordering one with black bezel, but i do find the UTC a bit busy personally.
    I think the minute markers on the bezel are redundant with those n the dial and make it busy and probably will make it appear a bit smaller.
    Though I love the case with crown guards, I'm curious about the one posted without. Was that a prior version or mistake?

    Great job overall! I'm in for one.
