Maritime Mechanics From Mt. Joy
K
nown for its classical approach to watchmaking, as well for creating mechanical movements made in the United States, Mt. Joy, PA,based RGM tackles the ever-popular diver’s watch with precision and perfection. Clean an d easy-to-read dials reside under a massive
5mm sapphire crystal that, with the help of a screw-down crown with double gaskets, helps attain water resistance of an impressive
75atm - without the use of a helium release valve. RGM installs and regulates a high line version of the ETA 2892-A2 in the Pro Diver
300 brushed stainless steel case. A wide uni-directional bezel with ceramic insert and a 45-degree milled edge is held in place by lateral screws and
sits atop the 43.5mm x 17mm brushed stainless steel case. Rotating with precise clicks, the RGM bezel both looks and feels like a well-engineered
component and is wide enough to create a rugged porthole effect for the dial. Inside the case a soft iron ‘cage’ surrounds the movement for magnetic
resistance. Traditional dial variations in black, blue, and white are joined by a more playful mother-of- pearl dial in the series. Depending on strap
and dial the retail prices range from $3,700-$4,650 at www.rgmwatches.com
