Crafter Blue's Mechanic Ocean

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Jul 03, 2018 8:56 am

Has anyone had time to see this new watch from Crafter Blue already?

The Mechanic Ocean is a diver, and is their first watch, with details like
a 45mm stainless steel case, 300M WR, domed sapphire crystal, helium
escape valve, left hand crown, black PVD, gray, and orange, or blue,
and red unidirectional rotating bezel with BGW9 Super-Luminova, black,
gray, or blue dials with BGW9 Super-Luminova coated ands, and markers,
rubber straps, and stainless steel bracelets, and in house Calibre 3531.
(Which is based off a Seiko automatic).

A few pictures...

They should just stick with rubber straps.

Too similar to a watch I don’t like Image

These microbrands must be single-handedly keeping the tracing paper industry afloat.

I know it's not it's not earth shattering, but saw some new dive watch news,
and had to report to you guys ! :thumbsup: ..Looks well made, and thought the lefty
crown, along with different versions/models added some variety also honestly.

Oh, and Mark, looks like they are $425 with the preorder. But $499 after sir. :)

I don’t understand the name. Seems like a bad translation to English.
