There is another version of the same iwc replica aquatimer cousteau divers watches where instead of these numbers being applied, they are lume covered. On this watch, the only lume covered parts are the hands - both for the time and the chronograph. The dial itself is round and easy to read. While the watch face is a large rectangle, the places where you need to read information are more traditional looking and not confusing - though small given the dimensions of the watch. This is an art watch that isn't hard to read, rather than an experiment in clarity. And as an art watch, it looks pretty cool.Everything starts with the unique looking rectangular case. Here in steel with a polished finish all over expect for the brushed metal bezel. Size is 46mm tall, and 31.6mm wide. It is also 13.7mm thick. For a rectangular watch, that isn't too shabby. The large size is nice for me, especially as I find many of these watches too narrow. Plus, the flared lug structures help with the watch feeling larger.
Pierre DeRoche is one of those interesting indy luxury iwc replica big pilot watches brands you could go your whole life without noticing, but you'd be missing out on some interesting stuff. You might have heard of them if you are like me, so you'll be happy to check out my review of their fascinating SplitRock watch. A unique name for sure, there is nothing "rocky" about it. Though I will say that all of the brand's collections do have geologic style names. Aside from the SplitRock, there is the GrandCliff, and the Shiny Pebbles. The SplitRock comes in many flavors, I actually discussed one of its "artier" forms here when talking about the SplitRock Dare iwc replica chronograph watches. In the 'standard' collection there are at least five different styles - including one with orange numerals and a diamond decorated version.Right here you have the Pierre DeRoche SplitRock Big Numbers. Why? Cause it has big numbers. Around the dial are four large applied numerals in large, 1mm tall metal. To say that they pop is an understatement.
