Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
PHOIBOS Argo Bronze PY057H – Spiral Sunray Purple – 200M Automatic Diver
PHOIBOS Argo Bronze PY057H – Spiral Sunray Purple – 200M Automatic Diver
The PHOIBOS Argo Bronze PY057H is a striking automatic diver that combines the warm character of bronze with an eye-catching purple spiral sunray dial. It’s a combination that feels vintage, nautical and completely different from the typical stainless-steel dive watch.
The star of the PY057H is its Spiral Sunray Purple dial. The textured radial pattern plays with the light, shifting from deep violet and plum tones to brighter purple highlights depending on the viewing angle. Bold luminous hands and applied markers provide strong contrast and excellent readability.
The bronze case is more than just a color choice. Bronze naturally develops a patina with exposure to air, moisture and everyday wear, meaning the appearance of the case gradually evolves over time. Each watch can develop its own unique character, making the PY057H especially appealing to collectors who enjoy watches that age with their owner.
A rotating dive bezel surrounds the dial, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides excellent protection for everyday use. The screw-down crown and robust construction contribute to a substantial 200 meters / 20 ATM of water resistance, giving the Argo genuine dive-watch capability.
Inside is a reliable automatic mechanical movement, powered by the natural motion of the wrist and requiring no battery.
The combination of the bronze case, purple spiral dial and vintage-inspired dive-watch styling gives the Argo a distinctive nautical personality. It's rugged enough to serve as a true sports watch while unusual enough to become a standout piece in a collection.

Why the PY057H Stands Out
The real attraction is the combination of purple and bronze. The spiral sunray dial constantly changes with the light, while the bronze case develops its own patina as the watch is worn. The result is a mechanical diver that becomes increasingly individual over time.
