Being one of the oldest and finest watch making companies, Baume & Mercier’s hisstory began with the Baume family developing watch technology in 1830. By 1918 the Baume family joined together with the Mercier family, whose watch designs and artistic abilities were exceptional, and this merger began the Baume & Mercier watch company.

I have bought my Scorpion Reef Diver in Jul 07, and I am certainly very pleased with it.

Brent from Scorpion was very approachable, answered all questions and followed up with international shipping.

Look and feel are very good. I am happy that I took the risk and bought the first design.
Readability is great, day and night.
I like the idea of turning the bezel so the ‘50′ is at the ‘35′ position!

It runs a bit on the fast side, +15/d.

What’s up with the name change to “Serket”?

I’ve owned my Scorpion Reef Diver now for 5 months
I wear it daily for work without fail.
I find it is super comfortable and keeps great time consistently
Even after wearing it daily for work, it still looks immaculate
I find the readability of the dial is Awesome. I work nights on a regular basis and
find reading the dial one of the best i have ever seen.
I can’t recommend these guys highly enough and I congratulate them on manufacturing an excellent time piece.
All the best for the future

I’ve got a few dive watches and the Scorpion Company should be given a thumbs up and a chance to prove what they will do next! It’s a lot easier to be a critic than down in the trenches, starting a business,and slugging it out with big and small companies alike. I had to do that, and it’s a 24 hour a day ordeal.Mark

I’m a watch rep with a large collection of a bit of everything. I’m very impressed with my Scorpion! The quality is great, and you can’t beat the price. I’m sure the new designs will impress collectors and put SWC at the forefront of American watch companies.

isn’t the ’50′ on the bezel red because the bezel turns counterclockwise . . in order to give the minute hand a new position to approach the ’0′ from?

(a cardinal position rather than an ordinal position on the watch face)

turn the bezel so the ’50′ is at the ’35′ position and then the details in the ’0′-to-’15′ represent a focus on the ’9′-to-’12′ zone which are the most crucial for your dive

that’s what I infer anyway

i agree completely. i’d say bathys is #1 in this game, but these guys have some good ideas. If it doesn’t appeal to you, that’s a different story.

I, too, am glad to see a couple of boys from the U.S. of A. making a go of it, though the design of this particular watch leaves me cold for some reason. For instance, what’s the deal with the red “50″ on the bezel? What makes 50 more important the the other numbers with respect to timing dives and decompression stops? I’m also not overly fond of the diamond shaped markers. I dunno, it just seems like they’re being different for the sake of being different. That’s fine for fashion watches, but for a professional divers watch, such filigree had better serve a purpose. A far better example of this type of guerilla watch-making would be the guys at Ocean7, with their LM-1, or John at Bathys Hawaii, with his new range of automatic 100 Fathoms. In the case of the LM-l, we’ve got a watch that pay homage to the greats with its plongeur hands, yet manages to still have a look all its own while maintaining an emminently readable dial. As for the 100 Fathoms, that watch has already developed a cult following, and for good reason.

The above notwithstanding, for the price, it’s hard to argue agains the the Reef Diver being a good value. The ETA2824 has seen duty in Breitlings, Sinns, Kobolds, and SARs, to name a few, and genuine Swiss manufacturing doesn’t come cheap. In the end, if the styling floats your boat, go for it, otherwise, there are a couple of other guys out there doing the same thing which might appeal to one’s aesthetic sensibilities more. Mind you, this is just my opinion, and so long as you like a given watch, that’s all that matters.

Adam
