The Finnish Merman has landed - the Sarpaneva SUF Vetehinen dive watch spotted in Switzerland 🇨🇭

As soon as our horological hosts saw us unpacking watches during our recent trip to Switzerland, they were more than happy to play along. And a certain Finnish watchmaker just happened to have a piece from another Finnish watchmaker... 😉
Cutting a long story short, this was the first time for me seeing a Sarpaneva product live - namely the SUF Vetehinen (Merman in English).
A truly less common and conventional dive watch but quite appealing in many ways. The case shape, the prominent crown, the Voutilainen made dial with excellent lume and the so typically shaped Sarpaneva hands all add to the charm of the watch. The cherry on the cake has to be the fish leather strap though. Supposedly fully fit for swimming, too 😊
So much variety offered from the independents these days - would be difficult not to dive in at some point...
Thanks for viewing!
