Why it scores as it does
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Lug-to-lug is neither published nor measured for one of the two watches, so there is not enough data to score.
Proportions— / 30
- Case diameter12 / 12Same size
- Lug-to-lug0 / 8Not published, left out
- Thickness0 / 6Not published, left out
- Lug width0 / 4Not published, left out
Design signatures— / 40
- Bidirectional rotating 60-minute bezel4 / 8Bi-directional rotating bezel with a numbered minute scale and a triangle at 12 in the official images. Both reviewers say it clicks in 36 steps, so it does not line up with minute marks the way a 60-click bezel would.
- Raised polished numerals on the bezel6 / 6Raised numerals and markers on the bezel in all six official images, polished on the steel-coloured bezel and raised and dark on the black insert.
- Cyclops lens over the date8 / 8Date window at 3 o'clock with a raised lens over it in the official images; one reviewer says the lens magnifies well and the other that it is aligned.
- Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp6 / 6Three-link bracelet with a polished centre link in the official images. The brand text calls it an Oyster band with a folding flip-lock clasp; one reviewer describes a fully milled clasp with a flip-over cover that he calls Rolex style, but no reviewer or brand text says it has the Oysterlock's extra locking mechanism.
- Mercedes-style hands6 / 6Circle-and-spokes hour hand and a broad minute hand with lume in the official images, with a thin coloured seconds hand with a lume dot.
- Applied hour markers6 / 6Applied round markers with a triangle at 12 and bar markers at 9 and 6 in the official images.
Functions and materials— / 20
- Complications8 / 8Date only, as on the original.
- Bezel action2 / 4The brand lists a bi-directional bezel, as on the original, but reviewers describe a 36-click action rather than a 60-minute one.
- Case and bezel materials2 / 4Brand states 316L steel and a sapphire crystal. The brand text does not name the bezel insert; one reviewer says it comes in steel or ceramic. The original is part platinum, in the reference used here.
- Crystal shape and date window4 / 4Brand states a sapphire crystal; one reviewer tests it as sapphire, and the official images show a lens over the date, as on the original.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Both reviewers are impressed by the finish for the price. They praise the polished case with its Yacht-Master-style shape, the three-link bracelet with solid links and a milled clasp, and the shallow, clean dial. One says it wears smaller than a Submariner-style case, and both give a lug width of 20 mm and a lug-to-lug of about 48 mm.
Both criticise the 36-click bezel, which makes it hard to line up with minute marks. They agree on the lume only in part: one finds it weak and quick to fade, the other finds it usable, with the hands brighter than the markers. One reviewer's bezel sat slightly off-centre while the other's was aligned. Both name a Seiko NH35, and both say the first version of the model had a Seagull ST2130.
Good
- Polished Yacht-Master-style case that both reviewers praise
- Three-link bracelet with solid links and a milled clasp, praised by both
- Sapphire crystal with a lens over the date
- Thin for an NH35 watch, 12 mm by the brand and 12.3 mm measured by one reviewer
- Six dial and bezel combinations
Less good
- 36-click bezel does not line up with minute marks
- Lume is weak in one reviewer's unit and uneven (hands brighter than markers) in the other
- Brand listing still names the earlier ST2130 movement
- No on-the-fly clasp adjustment, only micro-adjustment holes and a small extension

Earlier versions
- Earlier build with Seagull ST2130: Two reviewers say the model first came out with a Seagull ST2130 movement and was later reissued with a Seiko NH35 at 21,600 bph; one sees no other change. The brand listing text still names the ST2130.
