The Vortex D6 has a solar powered VS42A movement from Japan (designed, assembled by hand and fully tested in Ohio) under the hood and also has the distinction of being the only sun powered and second diveresque piece in my collection. One of the things which sold me was charging this thing for a minute gives the watch enough juice for about 24 hours which is amazing. And coming in at a size of 42mm/22mm lug width, the D6 doesn't look big on me at all and I do tend to favor larger watches when it comes to the field side of things.
