Product Overview

The watchdives WD1860, WD1861, and WD1863 are men’s chronograph sports watches designed for active individuals who value precision, durability, and classic style. Powered by the reliable Japanese VK63 quartz movement, these timepieces combine accurate timekeeping with a retro-inspired aesthetic. With a 40mm case diameter and a bubble sapphire crystal, they offer a bold presence on the wrist while maintaining legibility and scratch resistance. These watches are ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, and light water activities, making them a versatile choice for men who want performance without sacrificing style.

Key Features

• Bubble Sapphire Crystal with Clear AR Coating – The domed sapphire crystal is one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, second only to diamond. This ensures exceptional scratch resistance, keeping the dial clear and readable over years of wear. The anti-reflective coating enhances visibility in bright conditions, reducing glare and improving overall legibility.
• Solid Aluminum Bezel – Crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum, the fixed bezel adds a vintage-inspired look that complements the black, white, or pink dial options. Its retro design enhances the watch’s classic appeal while remaining functional and resistant to daily wear.
• 316L Stainless Steel Case – Built with premium 316L stainless steel, the case features a refined brushed finish with sharp, clean lines. The material offers excellent corrosion resistance and a polished yet understated appearance, highlighting the watch’s precision engineering and attention to detail.
• Brushed Screw-Down Case Back – The case back is brushed to provide a smooth, matte texture that enhances both durability and water resistance. Its tool-watch aesthetic emphasizes craftsmanship and ensures a secure seal, contributing to the watch’s overall robustness.
• Japanese VK63 Quartz Chronograph Movement – Equipped with the high-performance VK63 movement from Japan, this watch delivers quartz-level accuracy with a deviation of only +/- 15 seconds per month. The classic three-register chronograph layout supports precise timing, and the quick-reset function allows for immediate restarting of the stopwatch function.
• 100M Water Resistance – Rated for 10 bar (100 meters), this watch is suitable for daily use, handwashing, rain exposure, and swimming. It provides reliable protection against water ingress, making it a practical choice for active lifestyles.
• BGW-9 Luminous Display – The dial, hands, and markers are coated with BGW-9 luminous material that emits a bright blue glow in low-light conditions. This ensures easy readability at night or in dark environments, enhancing functionality for divers and outdoor enthusiasts.
• 5-Hole Micro-Adjustment Safety Clasp – The 316L stainless steel bracelet features a milled safety clasp with five micro-adjustment holes, allowing for a precise and secure fit. The 20mm to 16mm taper ensures comfort and a streamlined look on the wrist.
