Key Features

• Green Dial: The vivid green dial pays homage to classic diving watches from the 1950s, enhancing legibility underwater and adding a bold, timeless aesthetic that remains distinctive in any setting—whether on land or at depth.
• 18kt Yellow Gold Case: Meticulously crafted from solid 18-karat yellow gold, the case offers lasting elegance and resistance to corrosion and tarnish. Its warm hue complements the green dial beautifully, creating a harmonious balance between vintage charm and modern sophistication.
• Automatic Movement: Powered by Tudor’s self-winding automatic caliber, this movement harnesses the natural motion of your wrist to maintain power, eliminating the need for battery replacements and ensuring consistent accuracy over time with minimal maintenance.
• Brown Alligator Leather Band: The premium alligator leather strap provides exceptional comfort, refined texture, and durability. Its rich brown tone enhances the luxurious feel of the gold case, making it suitable for both casual wear and formal occasions.
• Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel: Designed with safety in mind, the unidirectional rotating bezel allows users to track elapsed time during dives, supporting safe decompression procedures in line with professional diving standards.
• 200 Meters Water Resistance: Certified to withstand depths up to 200 meters (660 feet), this watch is fully equipped for recreational scuba diving, snorkeling, and daily exposure to rain, splashes, or accidental immersion.
• Tang Clasp: A secure tang clasp ensures the strap stays firmly fastened during active use, reducing the risk of accidental unfastening and contributing to the overall long-term reliability of the watch.
• 39 mm Case Size: With a diameter of 39 millimeters, the case strikes an ideal balance—large enough to make a presence but compact enough to fit comfortably on most wrists without overwhelming the frame. It also fits neatly under a dress shirt cuff, making it versatile for both business and leisure settings.
