The Milus Archimedes, A Reissue of the 1970s Super Compressor

The modern reincarnation of the Milus Archimedes comes in a 316L stainless steel case, which is 41mm in diameter and that is rated water-resistant up to 300m or 30 ATM. The two crowns and the caseback are screwed to guarantee the water-resistance. The case is nicely executed, with alternating brushed surfaces and polished accents. The case is topped by a highly domed sapphire crystal that reinforces the vintage appeal of this watch. It has all the elements of a true Super Compressor watch, including the twin crowns, with the one on top used to rotate the internal diving bezel. It also makes a few concessions to modernity and safety, as the Archimedes features a discreet helium escape valve in the caseband at 9 o’clock.
