We love Kickstarter independents because they are listening to what customers want. Fact is, if they get it wrong, then too few pledges roll in and the project falls on its ass at the first hurdle. We reckon this beautiful Vertigo Medusa dive watch, with a steel case and bracelet, 300m depth rating, and a trio of fume style dials, will hit the spot.

You can check out Vertigo’s previous watches, like the classic motorsport themed Tornante chronographs, on their Kickstarter page. Get an early bird email, so you’re in pole position on this Italian beauty.
