Honestly, never hear that name. But I think that thing have a good looking. Nice watch diver model. About the value, I don't now, it's a lil' bit high? Or I'm wrong?

Débaufré (formerly Steinhart) makes a very nice watch and, I believe, is a good value in their price point range.
The Triton looks to me to be an homage of the Kobold Soarway Diver "Seal." I think that I would prefer it with a black dial, like its Kobold inspiration, but there's nothing wrong with orange. It is pretty big at 45mm and the orange dial does make a bold statement.
Incidentally, the Triton is currently on sale for $499 at the Débaufré web site . Not bad considering that the Kobold uses essentially the same ETA 2824 movement and is 6X the price.
All that said, I think that I would look at some of the Seiko Dive watch offerings and compare. Seiko has some very nice auto-movement divers at reasonable prices.

The quality on steinhart watches is phenominal for price ratio.. but were i in your position i would go for the orange seiko monster in prefernce to this, as i dont like the design on this one, and you will save yourslef some $$$
