This highly sought-after microbrand diver packs massive, old-school engineering into a wonderfully compact mid-sized footprint. It features Armida's signature, highly unique vertical day-date complication sitting neatly above the 6 o'clock position. Armida is world-renowned among microbrand collectors for delivering ultra-rugged, professional-grade dive watches featuring incredible manufacturing quality and legendary, flashlight-level luminous paint.
Case & Bezel: Very Good pre-owned condition. The 316L stainless steel case features clean factory brushing across the top of the lugs, accented by smooth polished side flanks.
