    An auto should fit.

    A colleague of mine and I were in a meeting this week and I noticed his new watch...it had a blue dial and blueberry bezel. It had to be the Davosa!

    Nope.

    It was a Mathey-Tissot but...it wasn’t a GMT(?) However it had the bezel and same mid-case as the Davosa. M-T used the same dial but print circles versus squares, same mid case, similar crystal but with a cyclops...and it comes on a heavy version of an oyster (didn’t care for it myself...).

    It runs Sellita SW200 or a quartz. His had the auto with the exhibition caseback (it becomes thicker) and had a longer crown.

    It’s 649 CHF!

    So...an auto with a GMT function could possibly fit with the right caseback.

    The bracelet is marked 70216 at the end links are marked 455B.

     

    I also like this bracelet is that it’s generic and it has the shorter clasp like The original GMT.

     

    One thing to note about the Davosa Vintage Diver Is the incredibly Glossy dial and lack of text. The glossy dial is really difficult to photograph properly

    Very interesting...  A quick google search suggests that this houses a Ronda 505.24h movement with these specs.  Unfortunately, the movement size and stem height don't bode well for replacing with a mechanical GMT, for a novice like myself:
     
    Size (Ligne): 10½'''
    Stem Height: 1.50mm


    I’m sure someone can make something work but is it worth it?

    Here’s mine. Originally I got the black because I got a big discount, then ordered the Pepsi and also a blue insert. Still cheaper than full price.

     

    When I got it, I added the an oyster bracelet and end links I had...perfect fit.

     

    Mid-case is spot on (thin) and the CGs are cool too.

     

    120 click bezel (would prefer bi-direct) and thin. No cyclops, Tudor-style dial with aged lume (a bit too much IMO).

     

    Wear it all the time....
