Key Features
- Robust Black IP-Coated Stainless Steel Case: The 42mm case is engineered for strength and resistance to daily wear, with a black ion-plated finish that resists scratches and maintains its sleek appearance over time.
- Unidirectional Rotating Bezel with 60-Minute Markings: A functional timing bezel allows for accurate measurement of elapsed time, essential for diving or any timed activity. The unidirectional design prevents accidental overcounting, enhancing safety during underwater use.
- Crown Guards: Integrated crown guards protect the screw-down crown from impact and ensure water resistance, adding both durability and a tactical edge to the design.
- Black Dial with Ocean Wave Pattern: The dial features a dynamic wave motif that reinforces the watch’s aquatic inspiration, paired with applied indices and lance-style hands for a clean, legible display.
- Luminous Markers and Hands: Both the hour markers and hands are filled with luminescent material, providing clear readability in dark or low-light environments such as night diving, early mornings, or dimly lit settings.
- Framed Date Display: A date window at the 3 o’clock position is framed for emphasis, offering practical functionality without disrupting the dial’s balanced layout.
- Rose Gold Accents: Subtle rose gold highlights on the hour markers and hands create a striking contrast against the black dial, elevating the watch’s visual appeal with a touch of sophistication.
- Matching Multi-Link Bracelet: The black IP-coated stainless steel bracelet features a secure fold-over clasp, ensuring a comfortable and reliable fit during movement or extended wear.
