Citizen Aqualnad Duplex dive watch. $259.95 out of Leisure-Pro.
You want a device with an analog depth dial, an analog time dial, and not in a watch format? Why?
There are several cosmetic variations of the Uwatec Digital Depth Gauge as sold by Parkway Aqualung, OMS and of course Uwatec, and I am aware of a few oldie but goodie analog bottom timers but I am not aware of any analog combination bottom timer and depth gauges.
Why would you want an analog unit in preference to a digital bottom timer.depth gauge like the Uwatec with large and easy to read numbers?

Luddite tendencies aside, there's a lot of literature in human factors and usability suggesting that analog concepts (things on a continuum like depth, time, temp, speed, etc. as opposed to things occurring at discrete intervals like shoe size, building floor, year) are more quickly and easily understood if presented in an analog format.
Digital's convenient, but may not be the most appropriate way to display the information in question.
