DIY Watchmaking Kit | 42mm GMT Tonneau Dive Watch | TMI Automatic NH34

DIY Watchmaking Kit | GMT Tonneau  Dive Watch (TMI NH34 movement)：

Meet our new 42mm tonneau-style dive watch kit! “Tonneau” means wine barrel in French, referring to its distinctive curved case shape. While it’s 42mm, its wider profile gives it a bigger, bolder look on the wrist than our regular 42mm watches. Finished with four visible case screws, it has a rugged, sporty feel that stands out from the rest.
