This watch is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, divers, and anyone seeking a durable, no-nonsense timepiece with classic dive aesthetics.
Key Features
- Ceramic Unidirectional Bezel with 120 Clicks – The precision-machined ceramic bezel rotates in one direction only, preventing accidental movement that could mislead divers about elapsed time. Each of the 120 clicks offers tactile feedback for accurate tracking during dives or timed activities.
- Sapphire Crystal Glass – The watch face is protected by a sapphire crystal, known for its exceptional scratch resistance and clarity. This ensures the dial remains legible and pristine even after prolonged use in harsh conditions.
- NH35 Automatic Movement – Powered by the reliable Seiko NH35 caliber, this self-winding movement requires no battery. It delivers consistent timekeeping with a 41-hour power reserve and features both hacking and hand-winding capabilities for precise time setting.
- 316L Stainless Steel Construction – The case and bracelet are made from high-grade 316L stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability. This material maintains its finish over time, even with regular exposure to saltwater and moisture.
- 200M Water Resistance (20ATM) – Rated for depths up to 200 meters, this watch is built to withstand underwater pressure, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving. The screw-down crown enhances water resistance by sealing the case.
- Luminous Display – The hands and hour markers are treated with luminous material, allowing for clear visibility in dark or murky underwater environments. This feature is essential for divers who need to monitor elapsed time without relying on external light sources.

Important Notes
This watch comes in a complete gift box package, including a tag, warranty card, and instruction manual. The product is backed by a manufacturer warranty—details can be accessed through the provided warranty information link. While the watch is suitable for water activities up to 200 meters, it is not recommended for professional saturation diving or high-impact water sports. Regular maintenance, including pressure testing and seal inspection, is advised to preserve water resistance over time. The ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal are highly resistant to scratches but may chip under extreme impact. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
