Why it scores 67
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Proportions24.6 / 30
- Case diameter12 / 12Same size
- Lug-to-lug4.1 / 81.3 mm apart
- Thickness5.2 / 60.4 mm apart
- Lug width0 / 4Not published, left out
Design signatures22 / 40
- Wave-pattern dial10 / 10Wave-pattern texture on the dial in every colourway in the official images, the same dial treatment as the original.
- Ceramic dive bezel4 / 8A glossy dive bezel with a 60-minute scale and a triangle at 12 o'clock, as in the original's design. The brand does not name the bezel material, so ceramic cannot be confirmed.
- Skeletonised hands4 / 8Arrow-tipped hour and minute hands with lume. Reviewers describe them as partly skeletonised; the official image does not settle it.
- Five-link bracelet with polished centre links and brushed outer links4 / 8A multi-link steel bracelet with a brushed finish in the official images. The brand gives no link count. One reviewer describes mirror-polished centre links.
- Helium escape valve on the case0 / 6No helium escape valve is visible on the case in the official images or the caseback shot; the crown sits at 3 o'clock.
Functions and materials10 / 20
- Complications4 / 8The watch has a date window at 6 o'clock. The original's record lists no complications, so the difference cannot be scored from its record.
- Bezel action2 / 4The brand does not state the bezel direction or click count, and the original's record has no bezel action to compare.
- Case and bezel materials2 / 4The case is 316L stainless steel. The brand does not name the bezel material, so the bezel cannot be compared.
- Crystal shape and date window2 / 4The brand states a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. The original's record has no crystal entry for comparison, and no cyclops is visible in the official images.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 3 reviews we read or watched.
Three reviewers covered this model. Two rate the case and bracelet finishing well, one of them for the price. Reviewers praise the wave dial and the date window. Two measured the lug-to-lug at 48.6 and 49 mm, and two measured the lug width at 20 mm. Two reviewers report back play in the bezel, and both say it still aligns at 12 o'clock. Reviewers name different movements: one an NH35A, another a Miyota 8215.
