Here we have a 2023 Evant Tropic Diver 39 Royal Blue Automatic, inspired by the dive watches of the 1950s and 1960s; it incorporates many design cues from this period and adds a modern twist with a polished and brushed 39.5mm  316L stainless steel case that comfortably sits on your wrist thanks to the twisted tapered lugs. Its curved bevel-edged flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 49mm and a case thickness of 14mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown with knurling for grip. The unidirectional bezel has deep knurling for grip and a domed blue ceramic insert with SuperLumiNova markings, a modern take on the Bakelite bezels of the past; the domed sapphire crystal sits above a striking sunburst blue fumé dial, and outer minute track surrounds applied disc and baton indexes filled with SuperLumiNova marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a date window, elegant hands are filled with SuperLumiNova and complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand, at 12 o’clock we have the Evant motif “Automatic” printed underneath and at 6 o’clock the Evant emblem riveted to the dial completing this vintage-inspired dive watch. On the reverse is a screw-down solid case back with the details of the watch in relief around its edge and the Evant emblem inside a contemporary wave pattern. Inside an automatic Sellita Cal. SW200-1, 26 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this workhorse movement has hacking seconds, quick-set date and hand winding for your convenience.
