Here it is, well lumed dial, powered with swiss lume watch hands, 200 m. steel case and glass bezel, the ultimate dive watch within the punch of 70’s look. Pook is a company that manufactures diving watches from Liperi in eastern Finland. Our dive watches show the handprint of the watch designer, Andreas Prepula.
We appreciate the exterior features and style of 60s and 70s dive watches, and the influences of that era are also noticeable in the Pook Diver model. The roots of this model take us to Andreas and Seppo Prepula’s diving adventures at sea. In many cases, the adventures focused on the area of Finland’s oldest lighthouse, Lyök’s Pook. In the early 80s, Andreas ’father, along with five other divers, lifted an old anchor from the seabed, now on display at the Uusikaupunki Museum. Andreas followed from support vessel, as a small boy as the anchor was lifted by the divers from a depth of 40 meters.
Seppo Prepula started diving in 1967 in Hanko. From there, he dived a lot of grenades and old munitions from our wars from the bottom of the sea, later in the 70s in Hanko he also located old Russian munitions with other divers so that they could be safely destroyed by detonation. He found a sextant and a helmet near Plussa near Dive in 1968, which are now on display in a museum in Mariehamn. Near Bomarsund Fortress, he dug up cannons, and associated ammunition and, of course, a gunpowder rod. Andreas, of course, played with this substance as a child, as well as lost his eyebrows a few times in that endeavor. Dives were made up to 70 meters in front of Eckerö, but the wreck was eventually left undiscovered during that trip. In Mr. Seppo dived numerous times to the wreck of Skiftet, which was cleaned to make the dive safe and objects were removed from it at the request of the National Board of Antiquities. During one dive on the wreck of Skiftet, he got stuck in his regulator in the wreckage of the wreck, and he had to take off his gear at a depth of 25 meters to get out. Seppo, Andreas’ father, commented on what had happened in a calm way faithfully to his style as just a small close-up situation.
Seppo Prepula’s work on Finnish diving in the vicinity of Uusikaupunki is still significant and there are visible signs of it in many maritime museums in Finland.
In this model of our watch, we wanted to bring as visual elements the factors that connect the watch to the equipment used by the 70s divers. The watch was also intended to have an authentic and durable diving watch, with a water pressure resistance of 200 meters. The roots of the watch designer Andreas Prepula’s family and decades of tradition in diving are reflected in this watch as faithful hallmarks of Pook watch style. Nothing but a Diver (in finnish, Sukeltaja) could become the name of this watch model.
This watch model is made in a serial numbered 100-piece batch and has a three-year warranty.
Steel bracelet (t2) as shown in the product picture is also available.
