Saw the new Diver Pro II Deployment on the Airwolf Raven at my local AD. Looks REALLY nice. So much so, it might very well be my next watch! The icing on the cake is the case back. Has the jet engine fans...I've been a huge fan of others with a similar back.

I don't like wearing my SA with bracelet on the weekends and evenings, right now I switch to my Hercules. But this is calling my name, and loudly.

Anyone else see it in person? Impressions?

I tried one too and got the exact same impression as you! 8)

I really like the bezel. I know it's a put-off for some, but I think it gives the watch an even more "tool" look and I like how it feels... doesn't feel cheap at all!

It'll be a great addition to your collection! It's a very functional, accurate and reliable watch. :lingsrock:

I still think a pilot's watch should have a countdown bezel so the compass rose is a backward step if you're an aviator but I guess most people didn't like it.

I believe thats the Ocean Racer strap. AFAIK the Diver Pro II was still on a buckle and smooth in appearance

Nightmare to find a picture, but like this strap. Various websites seem to confuse both straps :roll:

I would much prefer the Raven if the Bezel was Metal PVD or DLC treated rather than plastic/rubber.
Maybe a bit odd to have a rubber strap on a watch that isn't very water resistant, mind you I wear my Steelfish on leather so its not like we put the watches through their paces every day

You're right, the pic's an Ocean Racer. My bad, I just liked the macro pics and didn't look closely enough.

Looks good!

Good work RJ, better than anything I could find :bow:

Didn't realise it came on deployment though. Now that is a rubber strap/clasp combo I would like to own 8)

The MSRP I got from my AD is $4380 for the Raven on the DiverProII Deployment.

It looks really great in person on the new rubber.

Thanks for the heads up on the water resistance, I didn't realize that disadvantage.

It's the same price with the ocean racer, $4470 on the pro 2.
