French brand Briston is known for its accessible sports watches that are easy-going and fun to wear, and the new Clubmaster Legend Diver Ocean takes that same route. Much of the brand’s identity comes from the use of cellulose acetate cases, the same material often used for sunglasses, and on top of it, this is…
