    Tourby Watches' Lawless 42 Divers

    Tourby are a small German company who generally produce interesting watches. I don't know if this diver would count as interesting or not, but since it caught my eye, I thought it might appeal to some.

    500m, 2824, 42mm, 50.5mm lug to lug, only 13mm thick despite appearances. 1,250€.

    The dark blue dial version is an LE with Top Grade movement and 400€ more











    The Lawless bit comes from the name of the diver they've been working with while developing their range of Dive watches. There's a Lawless 45 which looks.....different 😷

    That looks really good.
    It's got a similarity to Sinn but a style of its own.
    I've lusted after a Stowa prodiver for years though, and for similar money and German design that's the one for me (one day).

    The inset numerals on the bezel seem a bit "pitted" on the first picture and the red surrounding the lumed bezel pip seems a bit rough and ready Raj (but then lm used to looking at my SD4000) - but then the price is very reasonable. Im with you on the caseback on pic 3 though - nice touch l think.

    This is the vintage JNT version with hand painted red and silver inlay. Made to look a little rough.
    The regular SS version doesn't look like this but then, it doesn't have the same charm.

    Ah - so intentional retro look then? A bit of a Bond thing going on? Fair do's.

    This ticks a lot of boxes for me and if I was looking, I'd buy it in an instant.

    Yes to all of them, particularly the date at 6. Do you realise I don't have a single watch with date at 6 any more!
    I suppose this watch competes with the Tudor Pelagos. I could never own a Tudor on account of the ridiculous fake-quaint name, but this Tourby,....... mmmmm

    GMT with either Pepsi or Coke bezel.



    40mm × 12mm × 47mm

    Bezel is sapphire.

    Bracelet isn't a jubilee

    All their watches are made to order, you can specify things like that

    I have a Tourby watch (Not a diver though) They are a very nice company to deal with but dont seem to get much notice in the WIS world, perhaps because they have never been as good in advertising as say Stowa and Laco. As below, they can pretty much build to your specifications and most watches are built to order as well as being regulated by them in house before shipping out.

    Very good watches and very good quality too.
