Design and Construction
The Professional Automatic Dive Watch combines playful aesthetics with serious diving capabilities. Available in vibrant fruit-inspired dial colors—Avocado Green, Grape Purple, and Orange—this timepiece brings a refreshing splash of color to the traditional dive watch format. Measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 12.2mm thick, this watch strikes an ideal balance between presence and wearability on most wrist sizes.
Crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel, the round case features a substantial yet comfortable lug-to-lug distance of 46.5mm (approximately 1.83 inches). The dial showcases applied indices for enhanced legibility and dimension, complemented by a practical date window positioned at 6 o’clock. For protection against scratches and impacts, the watch face is covered with sapphire crystal glass featuring anti-reflective coating that significantly reduces glare and improves readability in various lighting conditions.
The 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel with luminous markings provides precise timing capabilities essential for diving activities. Both the screw-down crown (adorned with a distinctive 3D hexagon logo) and case back ensure the integrity of the watch’s water resistance, while the brushed finish on the case back adds a sophisticated touch to this robust timepiece.
Movement and Performance
At the heart of this dive watch beats the reliable NH35 automatic mechanical movement. This self-winding mechanism harnesses the natural motion of your wrist to keep the watch powered, eliminating the need for battery changes or manual winding when worn regularly. The movement drives three hands (hour, minute, and seconds) across the clean, numberless display.
The NH35 is renowned among watch enthusiasts for its dependable performance and reasonable accuracy. While the movement isn’t decorated for display, its focus on reliability makes it an ideal choice for an everyday sports watch that can withstand active use. The date function at 6 o’clock adds practical functionality to this performance-oriented timepiece.
Comfort and Wearability
This dive watch comes equipped with a substantial 7-link 316L stainless steel bracelet measuring 20mm at the lugs and tapering to 16mm at the clasp. This thoughtful tapering enhances comfort while maintaining the watch’s robust appearance. The folding clasp with safety features provides secure attachment, while the fly adjustable design allows for quick and easy size adjustments without tools—perfect for accommodating changes in wrist size throughout the day or when wearing over a wetsuit.
Despite its solid construction, the watch weighs approximately 134g (about 4.7 ounces), striking a comfortable balance between reassuring heft and all-day wearability. The overall dimensions make this watch suitable for most wrist sizes, while its colorful yet sophisticated design allows it to transition seamlessly from office to weekend adventures.
Special Features
Engineered for serious underwater exploration, this timepiece boasts impressive water resistance of 20 bar (200 meters or approximately 656 feet), making it suitable for professional diving activities. The luminous coating on both hands and markers utilizes dual-luminous technology—C3 green light and BGW-X1 blue light—ensuring exceptional readability in low-light conditions and underwater environments.
The sapphire crystal bezel with luminous markings not only enhances the watch’s distinctive appearance but also provides crucial timing functionality during dives. The screw-down crown with its unique hexagon logo design prevents water ingress while adding a distinctive design element. Every aspect of this watch has been engineered with both performance and style in mind, creating a timepiece that excels in demanding conditions without sacrificing visual appeal.
Value and Investment
This automatic dive watch represents exceptional value through its combination of robust construction materials, reliable mechanical movement, and professional-grade water resistance. The sapphire crystal—typically found in much more expensive timepieces—offers superior scratch resistance compared to mineral glass, ensuring the watch face remains clear and legible for years to come.
The versatile design, with its playful yet sophisticated color options, creates a timepiece that stands apart from conventional dive watches while maintaining all the technical capabilities serious users demand. Backed by a two-year warranty, this watch offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term reliability, making it a worthwhile addition to any watch collection.
