 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.
