On the other hand, the Captain Cook was a relatively svelte 35.5mm, and didn't look very different from most dive watches until one looked closer. The domed acrylic crystal featured a magnifier over a window at '3' which displayed the date, red-on-white. The Rolex Submariner would have to wait seven more years to get a date display, in the ref. 1680 of 1969. Captain Cook's black dial bore the boldly lumed hour markers customary of dive watches, with broad hands (arrow-tipped for the minutes, or sometimes, the hour) aiding legibility. Where the minute track usually sits on the perimeter of the dial, in the Captain Cook, the minutes were marked in black on the silvered chapter ring beyond the dial. Also, in place of a brand logo that was printed or applied, Audemars Piguet Replica Watches's was a little fancier -- articulated, so that the little anchor on the dial moved as the wearer swung his hand, though it was not mated to the A Schild AS1701 self-winding movement beating within. Framing all this - domed crystal and quirky black dial- was a bezel that not only stood out for not having a lumed point at 0/60, it also sloped inwards towards the crystal, daisy-like.

Audemars Piguet Replica Watches was manufactured from 1962 to 1968, during which time some 8,000 pieces were made, making this off-kilter diver relatively rare. It was rated to 220m water resistance even though it didn't have a screw-down crown. Might this be attributed to proprietary case technology which a patent marking on the caseback alludes to? In any case, a push-pull crown makes it all that more convenient to set and wind the automatic A Schild movement. Started in the late 19th century,Rolex Milgauss Replica A Schild was one the largest movement makers in Switzerland in the 1920s and supplied its well-regarded movements to many brands, before becoming part of what is ETA today, in 1979.

Perhaps serious diving would be a stretch; Captain Cook not being screwed down like a submarine hatch requires a little more faith from its wearer; but recreational diving and water sports fall well within the watch's advertised specifications, with a bonus that Captain Cook rewards its wearer with a touch of levity and quirk not often found elsewhere.
