Supercongratulations!
The choice of movement wasn't an easy one. At the end, Richard Habring and team settled on the JLC Calibre 891 because small (and rugged) enough to leave space depth gauge system, which is a Bourdon spring/tube mechanism.
If you search the archives there is a most excellent article by Peter Nievaart from 2008 that explains the inner workings of this technical marvel.
Supercongratulations!
