Review of the Prometheus Recon 5
March 9, 2010
Up for review today is the second watch from Prometheus, and it's quite a bit different from the Ocean Diver. The Recon 5 is an handwinding aviator, with the characteristic re-think we've come to expect from Prometheus. Let's get started with some specifications:
- Stainless steel case: 44mm by 10.5mm.
- Sapphire crystal and caseback.
- SuperLuminova hands and indicies.
- Brown leather strap with thorn buckle.
- 22mm lugs.
- Non-screwdown large crown for easy winding and setting.
- Unitas 6497-1 movement: non-hacking, handwinding, 42 hour power reserve, decorated with Geneva stripes, blued screws, and a bit of perlage.
- Water resistant to 50m (165ft).
- List price 269 Euros, or about $366 as of this writing.
