Product Description
A true diver, the Technomarine Black Reef automatic—like its name suggests—is water resistant to an impressive half kilometer. The dial is teeming with life, including two subdials tied to the chronograph, one subdial for running seconds, and a date window Read More

Why do these brands put a 7750 in a clunky christmas tree?
Most people who care about the movement will find this kind of watch too large and visually offensive.
The white version reminds me of my ice monster, but 45mm/17mm for a 30mm/7.9mm movement, seriously? Who on earth is going to take this watch to -500m?
The good point is that this waste of 7750 will be an opportunity for those who can live with its "unusal" look to get a mechanical chrono at a great price.

EwenFRI was having the same whinge recently. I really want a divers chronograph, but every fricken watch maker wants to build a +42mm case around the 30mm 7750 movement.
39/40mm is my ideal size. Surely it is possible to make a 20bar case with 5mm thick edges?
Do you happen to know of any 40mm or less dive chronos?

TheRealDanielDifficult task, I don't know any, since diver and chrono are two different styles for me.
The real problem is the size, 40mm is already considered as small for a diver or a chrono, getting both with a 7750 movement is not going to be easy, some kind of highly priced unicorn.
Maybe other readers can provide help.

People, you may opine upon the looks of the watch, but you cannot deny either the movement or capability of the piece.
It's a 500m diver with a Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement- you simply cannot beat the value per dollar contained within.
If anyone wants to experience a classic, historically important, automatic Swiss chronograph movement for a truly bargain-basement price- here is your chance.
Yes, the watch is very busy-looking. But some people like that. And it is bigger because of both the chronograph movement and 500m dive case, which is perfectly understandable.
I'm not sure why so many feel the need to slag this piece off in an attempt to shame others. It is a quality piece, like it or not. MD isn't forcing you to buy one.

mrfuriouserSo you say--and I would normally agree--but I bought this watch, dove down to 500m several times to test it, but every time I did, all the fish took one look at my watch and swam away in terror!
Wasn't such a good deal after all...

I can't imagine diving with this watch (I do dive). A real diving watch should be unimpeachably legible; this watch is anything but.

zofodraziwAnybody will understand this watch is not bought by people who dive, they use dive computers.

augustinusDivers do carry computers today, yes. Most divers I know carry a watch as a backup timing device, however.

Knock Invicta all you want - I do.
They do own Glycine - and that brand seems to be getting helped by them. Technomarine has been under them for a while but they haven’t really done much with them.
This one with the high end motor, water resistance, mesh and rubber strap is a “value”. Very interested.
