Not bad for $499.

Yes I concur, looks awful to my eye.Originally Posted by WarrenVrs
Agree with whats been said already, however I do like the blue colour, vibrant.
I love that! Fantastic design all round. Maybe I'm a bit weird but that's one of the best looking new watches I've seen for a very long time.
Looks like an elegant Citizen Orca if such a thing could exist!
I agree that the bezel is a little thin but I like it overall. Killer lume and awesome crown design.
Those are exactly the points where this watch offers something different. Interesting proportions.
Based quite closely (oversized lume plots and solid disc hour hand) on a Breguet divers watch from the sixities.
is this what is called a "boutique diver" ?
I think it would have better charms if seen in vivo....
But .. the indices are too big..

A little quirky with the indices to bezel markers ratio, but strangely appealing. I'm guessing that it will wear fairly big with a narrow bezel like that, so for me a bonus.
That blue is stunning, I hope it matches in the metal as the camera and lighting can change appearance so much.
For that kind of money it could be a gem, or a lemon, only going to find out when you open the box.
I am a bit of a sucker for blue, are they still orderable?
Even with top photography it looks minging.
Buy it, open the box and I guarantee it won't look anything like those photos!
We must be looking at two different pictures as I disagree on looks wise, but you could be right upon opening.
Just done a bit more digging and it seems to be an enlarged copy of the much cheaper Spinnaker Cahill from where I'm not sure.

The indices are a little big, bit I find myself strangely attracted to it. Perhaps its just the shade of blue, but its growing on me.
We can't all like the same things, I agree.
Oversized plots, enhanced by too thin a bezel and that crown - jeez! I think blue dial watches always look better on screen though.
Challenge accepted! Ordered. I'll post pics when it arrives. I bet the blue looks great.
I once owned the Squale Master blue with the same type of dial. Dark blue sunray blended to black at the edges. It was amazing. Too bad the watch was too big, but the Evant size is great. Squale does blue fume well.
I think apart from the comedy giant indices the rest of it looks lovely.
Are the indices on the Evant silver or gold coloured?
I wondered the same. They look different colours in their various photos on the site. Thanks for the post OP, I'm actually a big fan of Event watches.
Yes, I can't tell if they are silver and are picking up some colour from the environment, or whether they are gold or gilt. I'm not going to buy one, but it's imperative that I know what colour the indices are so that I can decide if I like it or not.
I think silver and poorly edited but it would suit gold.
It's actually very nice!
To everyone bitching about the huge indices; if Rolex had done the same you would just call it maxi and rave about it till the end of time!

Hands and indices are gold
Oh wow I'm sold now. I think it would look great as that will really add some contrast.
Thank you. That saves me $500.
Oh, I really like that! Seems like extraordinarily good value, especially considering the price of ETA movements.
Cost me $500!!
I actually like the look of this, but the lack of OEM bracelet puts me off.
What's the delivery time?
Wear it in rude health

For a blue dial watch with a thin bezel and big crown, I'd personally go for this:
In fact, I've been trying to find one for months but they're not exactly freely available.
Cheers Mark :-)Wear it in rude health
For me that looks too "normal". This Event has such a unique look, and obviously that will divide opinion. I instantly liked it personally, but something like what you've pointed out I just see as "another watch" if that makes sense.
As has been said many times though, it would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things.
That really appeals to me. The only thing I would change is removing the date.

Would love to see it when it arrives Wayne. Would you drop me a line when it lands and maybe we could meet up in Leeds or Manchester?

The proportions on the dial are out.
Well I like it enough to take a punt, based on the Breguet 1646 Diver.

I've placed an order and Gnomon confirmed this morning that it'll carry my year of birth as the serial number :-) Shipping will take about three to four days and of course there is the dreaded VAT and duty.
On Gnomon's Facebook page there was a brief video demonstrating it and it really did look every bit as good as the photos. I guess the proof will be in the pudding etc, but this really appealed to me. Yes it looks a bit like the Spinnaker Cahill, but that is (I believe) a larger case at 43mm with only 200m of water resistance and a flat aluminium bezel, dropping to 100m on the 38mm version. I nearly went for the 38mm version in blue, but decided against it.
The Evant then popped up on my FB feed over the weekend. It looks far nicer than the Spinnaker and whilst it's a homage, it's not likely to be as common place as other homage watches.

Received it the other day. Stunning blue. Amazing watch for the price.
Well done,Peanut butter jelly.
It does look striking.
How is the lume?
Review soon but I love this. So much watch for the money!!!
Just had an email from Gnomon only 30 left. Mine arriving next week.
Looking forward to the review. The owner photos on this thread seem to sell it better than the ones on Gnomon.Review soon but I love this. So much watch for the money!!!

This is a very attractive and distinctive piece. Virtually an impossible task to achieve after 100 years of wristwatches.

No crown guards but more importantly no bracelet option? So a diver you can't get wet without ruining the strap? That's just weird

For sunburst blue 41mm and thin bezel with no crown guards I think I'd prefer this for roughly the same money (used)

The Pan Europ is also a stunning blue sunburst dial, needs a bracelet really and it's a bitch to fit one, took me ages to modify a yobokies beads of rice to fit, but worth it.
Wow that was quick delivery Wayne, got it already.Review soon but I love this. So much watch for the money!!!
Agreed. Some cracking pictures! Look forward to a bit of a write up
If only it was their own design, it's actually a straight lift from a very rare a Breguet 1646
http://www.ablogtowatch.com/breguet-...-vintage-1965/
It is a very distinctive and good looking watch though as you say, I was toying with the idea of a WTB for the black dial vintage version but might add the blue dial option to that just in case someone decides to move theirs on quickly.
Read this after I posted. I should've known there are no great designs left.....
