Reusing 60's technology (supercompressor caseback) isn't exactly innovative(I have a RZE Endeavour). I had no idea that the Resolute was a genuine compressor. That’s pretty cool. Very innovative brand imo.

Regular screwdown caseback however.Have you checked out the Dan Henry 1970? I have two of them. Very sharp for the money

1970
A reference model made for hardcore divers, tracking the elapsed minutes underwater. We are all fascinated with the underwater world. The development of practical diving equipment allowed mere mortals to relive the adventures of Jacques Cousteau beneath the sea. Those intrepid thrill-seekers...danhenrywatches.com
Other than Christopher Ward, are there any other companies currently producing true Super Compressor divers?
Agree. Those RZE titanium SCs are very nice, and I would strongly consider getting one if I didn’t already have the Christopher Ward, which is pretty cool too.(I have a RZE Endeavour). I had no idea that the Resolute was a genuine compressor. That’s pretty cool. Very innovative brand imo.
Wow, there’s a lot goin on there! Very cool.Here’s the Vostok.
Not immediately apparent on the pic is the dual crown and rotating inner bezel.

I came across the Eagle Rays when I was looking for true SC like most diver enthusiasts. Lovely looking however they have a regular screw-on caseback and have just the Super Compressor "style" I was told by Phoibos.
Woof! Over 6 grand USD. Does look gorgeous though.There's also the new Sherpa watch, which seems to be a modern tribute to the Enicar Sherpa, but the price is a little bit up there!

Sherpa Watches Launches with Two True Super Compressors - Worn & Wound
Sherpa is a brand new brand with a name that is meant to ring a bell with fans of classic sports watches from the 1960s and 70s. While Sherpa is in no way associated with Enicar, the now defunct watchmaker who produced the much loved Sherpa line, they are attempting in their debut collection to […]wornandwound.com
Sometimes it pays to go back to go forward, maybe particularly in the watch industry. Think innovations in mechanicals when they were dead in the quartz crisis. Updating old tech is what watches are all about.Reusing 60's technology (supercompressor caseback) isn't exactly innovativeI do like what RZE is putting out lately though.
Making a supercompressor doesn’t seem innovative to me, as it’s not a new idea. It’d be like making an LED watch and calling it innovative. Anyway, I really like RZE and supercompressors. 👍Sometimes it pays to go back to go forward, maybe particularly in the watch industry.

Here’s some better pics.Wow, there’s a lot goin on there! Very cool.
You mean other than the CW.True compressor with the spring on the back case? I don't believe there is one, not even the Zodiac Super Seawolf reissue replicated that particular.
Vostoks work with a similar case design but tgey are not truly "compressor".
