Not sure about you guys. BUT I am eagerly anticipating the release of the 'Schaumburg Watch' Aquatitan 2000m. I was told by a contact at Lindburgh & Benson on May 20th that it should be available in 8 weeks from then. Anyway, I thought I'd share some shots + a few details (pdf) for anyone else who might be wondering about this watch.

Cheers :-!

Okay, now I'm confused by Lindburgh & Benson's branding strategy....

Which is their main brand? Nauticfish? Or Schaumburg?:-s:-s:-s

Overall, I like these better than the Nauticfish, though. The bezel looks easier to grip, and I particularly like the date wheel. Don't like the hands, so much.

Oh, and the 'He' marking on the dial is really cheesy. It should be eliminated.

The 3rd crown is....what? A bezel lock?

But definitely going in the right direction! Could we get a gray/silver dial?

Looks good but theres just too much out there @ that pricepoint I would pull the trigger on first.

Movement is a wiss made SW20 A . SW stands for Schaumburg Watch ? But what´s 20 A then ? Sellita or ETA ?

It's a Sellita SW 200, a copy of the 2824-2 using a few parts from ETA.
It's nowadays very difficult to source either one of these Movements, so small watch companies take what they can get, sometimes even writing in their specs: ETA 2824-2 OR Sellita SW 200.

The version with the seconds subdial at 9:00 is very interesting though. It's a 2824-2 modified by L&B/Schaumburg. They call it SWA-612. Didn't know that was possible. Panerai uses a 7750 to achieve the same result.

Looks like the AquaTitan is out for $1400. I just wish they wouldn't put these silly 3 dates on on the dial :roll:. Otherwise I think this is a very fun looking Ti diver and 2000m :-!. Also has a nice bezel lock.

Here is a nice pic from watchbuys:

WAY too busy of a dial for me. :rodekaart

Is that a tachymetre around the chapter ring of the blue model?

Why would a non-chronograph have a tachymetre? Or, better, why would a dive watch have one? To time swimming fish?

I agree. Bezel reminds me of the Sinn U series.

Very true, that version is a bit busy and I'm not sure that the blue really works, well not for me anyway. :-s BUT perhaps in black or the more simplified Karbon 01 version might be more appealing.

This first one is a real beauty and the strap is a perfect match! :-!

The Orange with subdial looks great... as does the black carbon dial above..

The black Karbon model is sweet, but where's my bracelet? No bracelet option = no sale...

Not a bad looker, but I agree with MD51. To many others out at that price I'd go after first. I must say it is interesting.

It's a pulsometer. The upper crown is a heliumventil, the lower crown is to lock the bezel.

They are two separate brands that use the same case. You can also add Enzo and Ocean to the group that use the same case.
