Bring a Loupe: An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 5402 B-Series, A Universal Geneve Polerouter Sub, And Neil Armstrong’s Vintage Dive Watch

Driva’s a bit of a strange brand, with not much of a storied history, and few notable models to its name. In the past, I’ve come across Driva-branded Spillmann chronographs, along with a mid-70s TV, radio, and calculator watch of questionable functionality, but the stand-outs have always been their quarter repeaters. In comparison to a minute repeater, which chimes the hour, quarter hours, and minutes, the quarter repeater strikes just the hour, and the quarter-hours, and Drivas do it in style, with most examples I’ve seen being tastefully executed. This watch is no exception.
