Key Features
- Ceramic Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel crafted from ceramic, a premium material known for its scratch resistance and long-lasting finish. This bezel allows divers to track elapsed time underwater safely, rotating only in one direction to prevent accidental overestimation of dive time.
- Wave-Design Dial with Luminous Indexes: The dial features a distinctive wave-inspired design that enhances its sporty character. Each hour marker is individually applied and coated with white Super-LumiNova® for exceptional visibility in low-light and underwater conditions.
- Day and Date Calendar: A practical day-date complication is integrated into the dial, offering added functionality for daily wear. This feature ensures you stay organized without compromising the watch’s clean, functional layout.
- 20 Bar Water Resistance: Engineered for serious water activities, the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar (approximately 200 meters), making it suitable for recreational scuba diving and surface water sports.
- Screw-Down Crown and Case Back: The screw-down crown is protected by the case’s ergonomic shape, reducing the risk of water intrusion. The screw-down case back is engraved with the Ocean Star logo, adding a signature touch while maintaining a secure seal.
- 80-Hour Power Reserve: The automatic movement inside delivers up to 80 hours of autonomy, meaning the watch will keep running for over three days without being worn—ideal for weekend adventurers or those who rotate multiple watches.
