That's the one.
Thread here, for that version:https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
After wanting one on day one then being put off by the purchasing palaver I succumbed and bought one that had been passed about on TZ
It came with a few additional straps and I’ve been wearing it on a red rubber strap as I know if I even look at the white strap it’ll get dirty, has anyone with one of the light coloured straps had any success washing it?

This is probably a ridiculously naive question but do the London stores still have these in stock? I'd like to get my nephew one for his birthday.
From my understanding most stores have some stock pretty much all the time, demand has dropped off massively now so its more a case of do they have the one you want in stock.raceboy said:
Holiday coming up, and was planning on wearing the below, did anyone actually try one in the pool?
The deepest I'll be going is the swim up bar but will it be ok a metre or 2 deep?
I absolutely wouldn’t wear one in a pool. It is only rated to 3 bar which means it can survive being static under 30m of water. The emphasis is on static. Add any movement and you will easily exceed 3 bar of pressure. Not worth the risk in my opinion. The deepest I'll be going is the swim up bar but will it be ok a metre or 2 deep?

My Night Flight is only rated to 3bar but it’s fine for a swim according to Swatch..

This is a common misconception. Even at very deep depths the additional pressure of moving your arm through water is not significant.

I don't know how much pressure thrashing or swimming underwater would exert, however it wouldn't surprise me if
diving from a board would exert more than 150 psi, which would be the equivalent to around 100m depth.
After slagging off the various iterations of this finally, they’ve hit the jackpot imo - this is one I might actually buy - fun and with a nice nod to tradition…

Like that, but can just see it getting grubby just looking at it never mind wearing it, my Mars is bad enough and that's on a red rubber strap. 
Any ideas on UK price? the link states its a premium over the normal model but they are currently £240 and the link state $310 which is 'about' £240
