Key Features

This movement ensures consistent accuracy and a seamless glide that enhances the overall feel of the watch.

- 20Bar (200m) Waterproof Rating: Tested and certified for professional dive use, this watch withstands pressures up to 20 bar, equivalent to 200 meters underwater. Suitable for scuba diving, freediving, swimming, and other water-based activities.
- BGW9 Blue Light Super Luminous: Both the hands and hour markers are equipped with BGW9 blue luminous material, which charges quickly in sunlight and emits a bright, long-lasting glow in low-light or dark environments. This ensures clear visibility during night dives or nighttime use.
- 20mm High-Quality Nylon Strap: The durable nylon strap provides comfort and breathability, making it ideal for extended wear during active use. Its 20mm width fits securely and complements the watch’s rugged design.
