This Tutima Military DI 300 is a natural rival for Doxa if you want an orange dial dive watch. Model reference 929.11
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the paperwork, which matches the number on the case back, we can accurately date this watch to being sold in January 2008.
CONDITION
Glashütte is an amazing town in Germany, and to give you an idea of how compact and packed with watchmakers it is we can give you this example. To walk from Tutima’s headquarters to the German Watchmaking museum you pass Glashütte Original, Nomos and A. Lange & Söhne, and the entire journey is 350m long and takes about 4 minutes to walk. And they are not the only watchmakers based there either.
The most striking feature of this watch is the deep orange dial, but there are other things to see too. The case is made from very hard but light Titanium. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. It is fitted with a ‘fishtale’ buckle that looks great but does make it too wide to fit in the original box. The sapphire crystal is unmarked, and the lume is excellent. The 60 click unidirectional bezel has a Germanic quality feel to it. Inside the crew down case back is a Swiss movement, an ETA 2836-2, which has 25 jewels and hacking seconds. The name DI 300 indicated this was water resistant to 300M when new. Both day and date are able to be set via quickset, and the day can be set to either English or appropriately German.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, papers, hangtag and our Certificate of Authenticity.
