Deliver a Loupe: An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 5402 B-Sequence, A Common Geneve Polerouter Sub, And Neil Armstrong’s Classic Dive Watch

Driva’s a little bit of an odd model, with not a lot of a storied historical past, and few notable fashions to its identify. Previously, I’ve come throughout Driva-branded Spillmann chronographs, together with a mid-70s TV, radio, and calculator watch of questionable performance, however the stand-outs have at all times been their quarter repeaters. Compared to a minute repeater, which chimes the hour, quarter hours, and minutes, the quarter repeater strikes simply the hour, and the quarter-hours, and Drivas do it in fashion, with most examples I’ve seen being tastefully executed. This watch isn’t any exception.
