Hands-On With The Arethusa World Diver

Sword, stick, pencil, leaf, dauphine, cathedral – all different shaped hands, but at the end of the day all very much hand-like. I’m a sucker for something a little different, and as I mentioned in my article about mystery dials even the simplest change from hands to discs can have a significant effect. The Arethusa World Diver doesn’t really classify as a Mystery Dial as there is no mystery about what is going on, but utilizing discs appended with triangle pointers borders on the same effect created by some of those retro styled Mystery Dial watches. Arethusa is attempting to combine utility from a dive bezel and world time zones with some funky aesthetics. But does it work?
