Eska Amphibian 250 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

In the modern watchmaking landscape we have a good number of micro brands that appear every year, but ESKA is one of those brands that unfortunately disappeared following the quartz crisis in the 80s and which returned to the watchmaking scene recently. And that's what I liked most about this brand relaunched by two Lyonnais recently. Having had many divers in the past, what immediately excited me was the history and inspiration behind its elder, the Amphibian 600, plus this limited edition version with this red di…

The Eska brand, which disappeared in the 20th century, was revived by two entrepreneurs passionate about watchmaking. The idea was a good one and was shared by numerous YouTube channels. I admit I wasn't tempted by this Kickstarter with a Seiko movement, which I certainly like, but not at the price of 880 euros. A new edition was released in black with a Sellita, and the desire returned for a price around 1,000 euros. During the peak season, I fell for this smoked red version. I love the contrast of the indexes wit…

Much commented on the networks, this reissue of the Amphibian 250 is extremely endearing. Despite the NH38 caliber being highly criticized for a watch priced at 1200E, I do not regret this purchase on Kickstarter at all… Top-notch case finishes, very good quality tropical strap, dial and bezel respect the codes of this legendary diver. Only good, except indeed the caliber that feels low-end when handling the crown…

After having fallen for the first version of the Amphibian 250 Black Sea during the Kickstarter campaign, new acquisition of this model in the Red Viper version limited to 136 copies. A few developments including a major one, the caliber goes from Seiko NH-38 to Sellita SW-200. Thank you Eska for this long-awaited update that will retain the loyalty of customers who trusted you at the launch of the first series. Pretty smoked red dial and slightly lightened bezel make this model super endearing, with a very orig…

Hi, Today I share with you my opinion on the Eska Red Viper. This is a variation of the Amphibian 250 in 136 copies, a watch unveiled a little before Christmas 2024. I hesitated for a long time to take the plunge, having a large number of watches at the top of my list. The trigger was this very beautiful red dial, something that I do not have in my collection. In the end, no regrets, it is a watch with a nice presence, very pleasant, a complete packaging: the black nato, the red tropic and the famous Ladder bracel…

A very endearing vintage look, which triggers smiles around me!!! A kikstarter that worked impressively. A very beautiful watch! A community of enthusiasts via a Whatsapp group! 3 bracelets with the box, a fourth as an option from Jean Rousseau of SUPER quality! but... not my size and no solution... Too bad. On the other hand, an entry-level NH38 movement from Seiko, solid but perhaps not the most precise in this price range. Too bad. I hope that an upgrade will be offered. A unidirectional bezel that seems fragil…
