The Amfivios is a civilian adaptation of the Ianos OYK, a watch made for Greece's Underwater Demolition Command, with the military insignia and exclusive colorway removed.
The watch features a full minute scale on the bezel, a departure from recent Ianos releases that had a more sterile approach.
A distinctive design element is the 'strap channel' on the caseback, which incorporates fixed lug bars and a recessed channel to accommodate a pass-through strap, allowing the watch to sit flatter on the wrist.
The dial is matte black with large, three-dimensional luminous indices inspired by diving stones, a date aperture at 12 o'clock, and a running seconds indicator at 6 o'clock.
The case is shot-blasted, giving it a textured, matte finish that complements its geometry.
The bezel is a 120-position unidirectional countdown bezel, also made from grade 2 titanium, with deeply recessed numerals and a luminous pip.
The dial sits unusually close beneath the domed sapphire crystal, creating an immediate presence on the wrist.
The bezel numerals are in relief, a change from previous Ianos divers which had plain bezels with a sandblasted texture.
