I like ALL of them (OMG, it is really getting dangerous). But especially the orange and the blue ones. I hope they DON'T rep these so soon....I like the green one

this just so undermines AP's creativity... color combinations are fine if its executed correctly. the new 2014 ROO were great examples of that, so were the new materials. these new color combos just reminds me of a g-shock on steroids... not much thought went into the design process im sure, they just swapped palette colors around, stuck a chronograph and called it a new model.
that isnt something which a leading "trinity" brand should do. even Rolex gives more thought to their pieces than this in 2015.

To add a chrono for the DIVER´s range is quite logical for me.
AP always focused on different sports ... one of those has always been sailing / regatta sport. So water was one of their core elements and this new chrono might be the fusion product of sports-above-waterline
Anyway, I cannot warm with the multiple colors, blue could be the only one to speak to me.

Over the past 20 years I saw watch-companies launch new pieces with colored dials and all those models have been shelf-warmers or were niche-products for those extremely extravagant 0,1% of the watch patronage that wears them ones for a special occasion

All you need is a black usual OEM AP rubber strap..
it will look killer in all and tone down the colorpop!

Hahaha! Good catch [emoji23]
I don't mind it on the wall but too much color on the wrist for me!

I actually like all of them except the green. Yellow, orange and blue are not exactly unusual for dive watches and a black strap (maybe with matching thread) would tone them down significantly.

Sadly, someone, somewhere is looking at that orange one and is thinking "that will go great with my already very tacky orange Hermes belt".

LOL. So true.
Their belt that they conveniently ensure is never covered by their clothes and always in plain view. Modesty at it's finest!
