Gyavius NAVI S refines Bulgarian independent’s dive watch to 41mm

Gyavius Watch Company releases the NAVI S Collection, a refined version of its NAVI dive watch. The case now measures 41mm across the wrist and keeps the same 41mm lug to lug dimension. Every component you touch—the case, bezel, back, crown, dial and hands—comes from the small Sofia workshop that industrial designer T. Gyavurov started in 2012. Three dial colors launch simultaneously, each priced at $2,400 before tax.

The first NAVI wore larger. For a full year the team wore test pieces at 41mm to ensure the size felt right for daily wear. The lugs carry drilled holes for quick strap changes. Each NAVI S ships with two bracelets: one in FKM rubber and one in stainless steel mesh, both mounted on 20mm spring bars.

Three pairings of dial and case finish create distinct looks. A matte black dial sits inside a brushed case for classic dive styling. A matte orange dial sits inside a brushed case for sharp visibility. A sunburst mint dial sits inside a bead blasted case. Gyavurov says he drew the mint color from vintage Range Rover leather seats. Every dial receives its markings printed by hand and luminous material applied by hand.

A Sellita SW200 Swiss automatic movement beats 28,800 times each hour through 26 jewels and stores 41 hours of power. It displays only hours, minutes and central seconds, with no date window interrupting the markers. A solid steel back covers the movement instead of exhibition window.

The NAVI S incorporates upgrades the first NAVI lacked. Double domed sapphire crystal replaces mineral glass and the crown seal now blocks water more effectively. The watch passes tests at 100 ATM, suitable for recreational diving. The bezel turns both directions and locks in 60 clicks for elapsed time tracking. The entire case, crystal included, stands 13mm tall, keeping the 41mm width wearable.

Gyavius cuts, machines and finishes every component in its Sofia facility rather than outsourcing to external suppliers. That choice limits monthly production but lets the brand control finish quality and inspect every surface. The NAVI S targets collectors seeking alternatives to mass produced dive watches from larger manufacturers. Orders ship directly from gyavius.com at $2,400 USD before applicable taxes.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
