EDITOR’S PICK: The Aegir CD-2, a dive watch made by… wait for it… an ACTUAL diver
Editor’s note: There’s nothing that watch journos love more than a watch with a story.

In all my years of writing about watches, I’ve come across few stories as authentic and compelling as that of Australian … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: The Aegir CD-2, a dive watch made by… wait for it… an ACTUAL diver appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
