Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Anyone else get this email - Synchron is taking pre-orders on a new version of the "Military" watch, made in conjunction with Poseidon.
https://synchronusa.com/synchron-poseidon/
Pre-order price is $990, slated to ship in February, with regular price at $1299. Its very similar in most respects to the Military, and has the Poseidon logo on the dial and caseback. Comes with a ploprof set of hands, which I like better than the original handset, and the rotor is tungsten, which I think is a first. (Tungsten is a cool choice since it is incredibly dense - about 50% heavier per volume than lead).
As a big fan of Poseidon gear, I may have to grab this one...

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Oh man, that is awesome Seth and Bob, and no I did not get the email
about it, so thanks for the jaw dropping report !!!
I mean you get this ultra cool classic style, and although it might cost
an arm, at least it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. But seriously, it
is ridiculously nice in every single way. Thanks once again !

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I think the PVD case would work better.

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
It's cool, but I can barely see the minute hand. Being color blind can occasionally make a watch unreadable.
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I don't think it is only the color blind that struggle. Fauxtina and yellow are not a good combination for legibility.
I really like my Synchron Military, but I think I'll take a pass on this one.
BTW- is there any link between Poseidon Diving Gear and Synchron? I guess Poseidon just licenses out their logo?
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I like what I see !
Very.....
Ordered !

These are only pics.
In real life the readability is better for sure !
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Same thoughts here.
Black and Yellow alsways good together.

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I've actually bought a few watches that looked fine to me online, then I got them and couldn't see them well.
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I would like it better w/o the Poseidon logo.
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I will add that I think it is a cool watch and I really enjoy my Synchron Military. I think the Synchron case is excellent, both with a BOR bracelet or an Isofrane.
I also think this represents a really decent value at under $1K.
The only miss is I think the legibility would have been improved if they had used a slightly darker shade of gray for the dial.

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Thinking about it.
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
For those with the original, how do these wear? Specs make it seem short and stout.

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Eh screw it, I'm in. Once I saw 68 hour PR I couldn't help myself. Seems like a solid value here.

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Apparently they teamed up to design this watch for the Swedish military?

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
Ordered. Very cool. Love it on rubber.
LJP mvt. Only $1000. They’ll do well on secondary anyway I think so it may be easy to move if you don’t like it

Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
I like it but got burned by the wonky pre-ordering system Synchron had for their Military version. I am not a Sychron hater, just not interested in how they do business.
Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
The unique movement reminds me Aquadive Twin Barrel Fleurier movement they did some years ago. Any idea who/what is LJP movement? Are they popular movement for high end watches?

Re: Synchron/Poseidon Ice Diver
The site just got overwhelmed. That’s not an uncommon occurrence these days. It got straightened out and ordering went smoothly.
