In the end, you’re not just paying for the use of titanium (which you could get in a Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo), the movement, or the 600m water resistance (which you could surpass with Certina or a Seiko Tuna), but a whole package of design. There’s also the “Made in Italy” part of the equation, which I asked the brand about. Yes, the watches are made not far from Milan in a small workshop. It’s not exactly as sexy a space as some Swiss workshops, they told me, but they acknowledged that clearer marketing of their work would only help.
Personally, I don’t need another dive watch, and I already am a happy owner of two Unimatics. However, as someone who non-watch friends frequently ask for a robust and relatively affordable watch, I now have a new option to add to my stock of answers. However, with the Prodiver 600m being limited to 200 pieces, I have to wonder how long it will stay in stock and what comes next for the brand’s dive watch offerings.
