Seafighter 2008

by Jaimie on August 31, 2007

Well I finally placed my order for a new watch. It will be another Mk II watch and is called the Seafighter.

Here is some background about the design and the watch from the site:

The Mk II Sea Fighter is based on the Blancpain* Fifty Fathoms* design that was issued to technical and combat divers of the German military (Bundeswehr) in the 1970s. Never made available by Blancpain* as a civilian model the design is an exemplification of form following function. The design distilled the dive watch to its bare essentials and remained the paradigm for German issued dive watches for almost 20 years.

Here is a picture of the original design:

The version that I selected is different from where the original design comes from but I like the clean look of the OCN hand set and like the standard diver bezel. The cool thing about Mk II watches is that you have many options to select from (over 1000 combos of the Seafighter are possible). Have a look at the order page to get an idea of what I mean.

This will be my second Mk II watch. The Blackwater was my first one and I love it.

If you are interested in custom watches that are top quality and unique I would definitely check out Mk II’s site.
