Good question. I like orange minute hands too, though.

 

i love the orange min hand. I hope the helson sharkmaster is dayglo

 

Me too! I was a bit late, but I did get an order in...

 

Not sure who did it first either, but I used to have this one...

...which I sold to acquire this

Nice stuff trooper, I'm always curious to see where another Cali is. I've been missing my Q... How do you like the PVD? Been thinking about seeking one out.

I know my artego diver has an orange minute hand. Looks fantastic with the blue face on an orange nato.

 

Wow, keep the pictures coming!

 

I'm just getting into divers after about 12 years of being a WIS! My main focus has usually been brands. But just recently I realized that regardless of the brand, the watches I've worn the most consistently have always been diving watches with rotating bezels.

So now I'm discovering the world of divers, with its micro-breweries and its great history. Part of this fascination is the orange minute hand. I really like it! I'm just guessing, but where was this first introduced? On the Ploprof?

--Greg

I believe the Omega ploprof was the first use of an orange minute.......but Eddie Platt's Dreadnought released in 2003 is often credited as being the first "micro" diver.
First micro to use the orange/white combo plongeur hands.

 

I've got a few...

 

I forgot about my orca. its a great orange hand!

 

I really don't like the orange hand. Its a pain as so many otherwise great watches use it these days o|

 

Here is a few of my divers w/ an orange minute hand...

 

OK, you guys, stop already! What is this doing to my wallet???!!!

Ah yes, those orange minute hands...:-!

 

How about a DOXA?

 

Doxa claims to have invented orange..

 

When it comes to dive watches, Doxa DID invent orange. :-!

 

... and somebody already covered ORSA pretty well, but here are mine:

... or just to be different, how 'bout an orange HOUR hand:

 

 

I too am fascinated by the Orange minute hand. I think it transformed my 007:

 

MKII seafighter is the only one i've got left :-(...i've had these others in the past:

I don't know who was first but this one is from 1976. Certina DS 2, PH 200

You want a wallet crusher? I paid more for the mods than what the watch originally costs, but I don't care. She sure is purdy!

 

WOW! Awesome mod!|>|>|>|>|>
Seiko should mass produce this!
