The other one is the Alsta Motoscaphe, which I designed myself, for motorcycling, but it’s essentially an upside down dive watch. Sometimes called destro, which is Italian for right and implies that the watch is to be worn on the right hand, such watches are fairly rare.Ĭurrently the two most popular LHD watches are Tudor’s Pelagos LHD and Rolex’s 2021 GMT Master II in green, the latter kind of qualifying as a dive watch. Many assume this is for south-paws, but as a motorcyclist I claim LHD is a great choice for any righty who doesn’t want the crown digging into their wrist. LHD stands for left-hand-drive, meaning the crown is on the left side. So why buy the Nodus Sector Deep over the myriad fairly priced equivalents? Two reasons: LHD and the dual-scale bezel. “Just get an SKX007,” and now I feel like you need to lay out a massive horological atlas and begin plotting a course through late capitalism itself. At one time when suggesting a cheap diver, all you had to say was. Now in the $500-range, we’ve got Bulova, Timex, Lorier, Vaer, Vero, Yema, Benrus, Vero, Boldr, Unimatic, Raven, and, yes, Nodus to choose from, among many others. As the 2020s roll on, Seiko divers have gone up in cost, if not quality, while random Chinese brands are making better Seikos for $179 than Seiko makes for $900. Seiko had been my benchmark alas, no longer. I feel lost these days considering a dive watch costing $575.
