Ianos Avyssos

The Ianos Avyssos is recognized for its historically inspired, unconventional dive watch design, featuring a sandwich dial with lume visible through cut-out markers and a small seconds disc referencing the Antikythera mechanism. Reviewers and owners highlight its unique dial with a blue-to-black dégradé effect and hour markers shaped like Greek sponge diver ballast stones. The 44mm angular case with a PVD finish and steel bezel with blue markers is noted, as is the inclusion of a NATO strap alongside the primary strap. One owner acquired the watch as a grail, appreciating its steel bezel. A manual-wind movement, specifically the ETA 7001, is present, which allows for a slim case but is considered an unusual choice for a dive watch by one reviewer. This reviewer also flags a disconcerting ratcheting click when tightening the crown. One forum user questioned the durability of the watch's strap for diving.
