The German dive watch company NauticFish is an offshoot of the larger Schaumburg/Lindburgh & Benson watch group. A few years ago, the brand was set up as vehicle for more aggressive German watches that complimented, but did not necessarily compete with the popular Schaumburg line of diving watches.

The first NauticFish watches were actually little more than rebranded Scahumburg watches with minor changes. Currently, NauticFish watches have their own special character, but that did not occur over night. Over the last few years, little design changes resulted in the current product, of which many are nice hybrid designs between the appealing look of Schaumburg dive watches and the NauticFish style. The first changes appeared on the face with the hand and number indicators, then the bezel treatment, and other items changed as well.

This particular watch represents a halfway point from what NauticFish used to be, and what it is today. Notice the same bezel as on Schaumburg watches, but with the distinct NauticFish dial and hands. The watches is powered by an automatic ETA 2824-2, is resistant to 1000 meters under water, has a helium escape valve, and is 43mm in width. These are no longer made and harder to come by so check them out while a few are still around.
