Key Features
- Chronograph with Nautical Tachymeter: Unlike other watches in the Ocean Star series, this model includes a chronograph complication featuring a tachymeter scale measured in nautical miles. This allows users to calculate speed over a fixed distance—ideal for sailors, aviators, or outdoor adventurers who rely on precise time-based calculations.
- Ceramic Bezel Ring: The inclusion of a ceramic ring on the bezel significantly improves scratch resistance and adds a contemporary, technical finish. Ceramic maintains its luster over time and resists fading better than traditional materials, ensuring long-term visual appeal.
- Swiss Automatic Movement: Powered by a mechanical caliber, this movement is fully assembled and regulated in Switzerland, guaranteeing exceptional accuracy and craftsmanship. It offers up to 60 hours of power reserve, meaning consistent functionality without manual winding for more than two days—even if not worn regularly.
- Black Dial & Luminous Markers: The deep black dial enhances legibility under low-light conditions, crucial for underwater use or nighttime navigation. High-contrast hands and markers ensure clear time reading at a glance, maintaining readability even in challenging environments.
- Sporty Diving Watch Aesthetic: Rooted in the spirit of marine exploration, the Ocean Star Chronograph embodies rugged functionality fused with elegant design. Its profile is unmistakably sporty yet sophisticated enough for casual or semi-formal settings.
