Mykl: Nope, the one pictured above is from the army-technology.com website; here's a link to their info page
This is a picture of mine!
Big Tex: Thanks! FWIW, the watch is by mb microtec ag of Switzerland. Its model #S3001. They are the actual manufacturer of the (IMHO) cheesy Luminox watches that are sold here in the U.S.
I personally can't stand the hokey 'NAVY SEALS' letter emblazoned across the U.S. models with the gaudy Luminox logo on the face, which is why I paid MORE to get the watch as it's meant to look from the factory!
I have been SCUBA diving for about 20 years and have had many clunky type dive watches. First a watch needs to be water resistant to 200 meters (660 ft) to be a dive watch. Not that you go that deep but there is no such thing as a WATERPROOF watch so get all the waterRESISTENCE you can. I have found that my Luminox is the best I have ever had. I have a Rolex, Seiko and others but the luminesonus (spl)on the numbers and hands does begin to fade after awhile. My Luminox (yellow dial) is visable in bright sunlight to complete dark. The only comparable watch is the G-Shocks but since my eyes are not what they were when I was younger I find it hard to read the numbers sometimes and it takes another hand to activate the backlite. It is also very light on the wrist and you forget your wearing it until you need it. I have seen them priced as low as $125 at gunshows and discount catalogs. Get one as you will be very satisfied.
