Hi Marius,

Great looking Benthos. I have one too, and yes, it should reset to 12 when you press the button. The timer mechanism on these watches can be problematic. I've tried to fix mine twice now and it still slips sometimes... I wouldn't recommend relying on it when diving! Many owners report problems with them from what I've read.

I did a bit of research on the Benthos and wrote a post about it on my blog. Here's a link if you are interested; http://thewatchspotblog.com/?p=581

It looks great on that bracelet. I wear mine on a Nato strap but the head is so heavy that I'm considering buying a bracelet to balance it out. Is that an Anvil bracelet from Harold in Singapore?

Regards,

Rich.
