Limes

Speaking the same easily recognizable design language that we have already seen last year when the German brand introduced its “professional” Endurance Neptun 2 1000m (ref. U8777-LA3.1) diver, the 2012 Limes Endurance Leviathan automatic diver comes in a slightly larger body, but features a more “civil” -more casual, if you like- appearance thanks to the new bezel that, while being less ahem technocratic, is still ergonomic thanks to its prominent notches providing easy grip, as well as the familiar Rolex-style diving scale that makes it easier to use the watch as rudimentary timer not only deep underwater, but also doing more mundane tasks, like cooking eggs and this sort of things.

Limes is mostly known for its dressy timepieces, but it also produces watches for different sports activities, including this Endurance line that was recently updated with the new Endurance Neptun 2 automatic diver. From now on, the Neptun 2 is available not only on a sturdy stainless steel bracelet (ref. U8777B-LA3.1,) but also on a rather expensive-looking black rubberized leather strap (ref. U8777-LA3.1.) The option, by the way, nicely matches the black dial, so the gadget may be a good choice for a person looking for a nice and reliable “tool” at a relatively low starting price.
