Who should buy which.

The SHY036 39mm Titanium PT5000 Diver (Blue): Someone who wants an affordable titanium automatic diver with a ceramic bezel in a classic size. Choose a model with a published lug-to-lug span if fit is critical, or a certified dive watch if certification is a purchase requirement.

The Admiral 3-Hand No-Date Titanium Diver (Aurora Green): A buyer looking for a titanium automatic diver with a green no-date dial, sapphire crystal and a bracelet rather than a rubber strap. Choose a shorter or thinner watch if the 49 mm span overhangs your wrist, or a dated version if you rely on a calendar.

Before you order.

THORN publishes a diameter, thickness and lug width but not a lug-to-lug span, and it does not state an ISO dive certification. The selected variant is the PT5000; THORN also lists SW200 versions at a higher price.

At 49 mm lug-to-lug and 13 mm thick, this 40 mm case has a meaningful wrist span. The no-date layout is a plus if you like a clean dial, but it is the wrong variant if a calendar is essential. BODERRY lists $259 as the current sale price before our code; the $299 regular price is separate from the code calculation.
