Inside the Bulgari Boutique at The Crystals Shopping Center at City Center: Part 3
The Bulgari Diagono Professional Acqua Scuba
Back a few months ago, we posted a photo report by Kong of the Diagono Pro Acqua Scuba in stainless steel with the rubber strap ( click here ). I really liked the proportions and felt that it would make a good daily casual watch. So after checking out the Sotirio, the Diagono Pro Acqua Scuba was the next watch I wanted to see. This is the all stainless steel version with the matching stainless steel bracelet. The case measures 42mm and has a unidirectional rotating bezel.

The crown is protected by two protrusions integrated in the stainless steel case. The crown felt smooth and easily operated without being uncomfortable on the wrist:
You can see the alternating brush and polished finish along the edges of the case and crown:
The bezel has symmetrical radius cuts along outer edge to make it easier to grip and turn:

And speaking of luminous indices and hands, here's my favorite pic of the Diagono Pro Acqua Scuba in full lume:
Originally, I thought that the 12 o'clock marker was too large, but after seeing it person (and with the lume) I've changed my mind and actually like the way it was executed on the dial.
