As the first collection launched by RATIO, it pays tribute to the demanding sport of freediving with bold, functional aesthetics and professional-grade construction. Built for men who explore the underwater world, this watch combines durability with refined craftsmanship, making it equally suited for deep-sea diving and everyday wear.

Key Features
- 500M Water Resistance – Engineered for serious underwater use, this watch is rated for depths up to 500 meters, making it ideal for recreational and technical freediving as well as scuba diving. The robust case and secure sealing system prevent water intrusion even under extreme pressure.
- Sapphire Crystal – The watch face is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, one of the hardest transparent materials available. This ensures exceptional clarity and long-term resistance to everyday wear, maintaining a pristine appearance even after repeated exposure to sand, salt, and impact.
- Automatic Movement (Japanese) – Powered by a reliable Japanese automatic movement (either Seiko or Miyota), this watch delivers consistent accuracy without the need for a battery. The self-winding mechanism charges through natural wrist motion, offering convenience and longevity for daily wearers.
- 316L Stainless Steel Construction – The entire case and bracelet are made from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, known for its superior resistance to corrosion, especially in saltwater environments. This material maintains its finish over time and withstands the rigors of marine exploration.
- High-Visibility Japanese Lume – Equipped with strong Japanese luminous material on the hands and hour markers, the watch ensures excellent legibility in dark or murky underwater conditions. The lume charges quickly under light and provides sustained glow during night dives or low-light adventures.
- Bold, Functional Design – Inspired by the intensity of freediving, the watch features a clean, legible dial with a unidirectional rotating bezel for tracking dive time. The design balances sporty aesthetics with professional functionality, appealing to both divers and watch collectors.
