Key Features
- Japanese NH35 Automatic Movement: Powered by a fully automatic mechanical movement with 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz), this caliber features 3 hands, a date display, bidirectional winding, and a 41-hour power reserve. The 24-jewel construction ensures smooth operation and long-term durability, while the second-hand stop function allows for precise time setting.
- 300M Water Resistance with Screw-Down Crown: Engineered for serious diving, the watch features a screw-in screw-lock crown and a screw-in solid case back, creating a watertight seal that withstands pressures up to 300 meters. This makes it suitable for recreational diving, snorkeling, and water sports.
- Ceramic Unidirectional Bezel: The 120-tooth ceramic bezel rotates counterclockwise in precise, tactile clicks, allowing divers to track elapsed time safely. Its scratch-resistant surface maintains clarity and color over time, even in harsh conditions.
- Synthetic Sapphire Crystal: The front glass is made from synthetic sapphire, offering exceptional scratch resistance and optical clarity. This premium material is second only to diamond in hardness, ensuring the dial remains legible and protected from daily wear.
- High-Visibility Luminous Markers: Equipped with C3 and BGW9 luminous material on the hands and indices, the watch provides excellent visibility in low-light or underwater environments. The bright glow ensures accurate time reading during night dives or in dark settings.
- 316L Stainless Steel Construction: The case and available stainless steel strap are crafted from 316L surgical-grade steel, known for its corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties. This ensures longevity and comfort, even with prolonged exposure to saltwater or sweat.
- Multiple Strap Options: The watch comes with a rubber strap and is compatible with 03L and 05L stainless steel bracelets. Total weight varies by configuration: 121g with rubber strap, 200g with 03L, and 213g with 05L, offering a balance of comfort and presence on the wrist.

Important Notes
This watch is designed for recreational diving and water sports but is not intended for professional saturation diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure to maintain water resistance. The synthetic sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but should still be handled with care to avoid impact damage. The watch comes with a rubber strap; stainless steel bracelets (03L and 05L) may be purchased separately depending on configuration. For warranty details, customers should refer to the manufacturer’s official policy. With a Best Sellers Rank of #22,072 in Men’s Wrist Watches, the SD1975 has established a presence among dive watch enthusiasts. Customer feedback is limited, with one review averaging 3.0 out of 5 stars, so buyers are encouraged to assess features against personal needs.
