Express Review: Sheffield Allsport Diver 1A Automatic:
# Deep Gray 300
(shown here on
aftermarket Benchmark Basics grey leather strap)
Another vintage watch brand resurrected for the modern era. This Sheffield Allsport measures 42mm x 22mm lugs x 13.8mm thick with 300 meters of water resistance. An attractive diver without frills. Tool watch anyone?
Plus: Pleasing gray dial with orange minute hand. C3 Swiss lume. Minimal dial printing. Omnipresent NH35 movement. Appropriately sized crown. Sapphire xtal with A/R.
Minus: Faux screws at the lugs look hokey. Not a fan of standard nylon NATO-style strap; more strap/bracelet choices needed. Does it need a date?
Sum: Very nice fit and finish. Clean overall look. Attractive pricepoint. Honest presentation and direct/responsive contact with Sheffield owner. Can’t go wrong with this one.
