A friend told me about this release. I looked at the link and there was no question I had to have it. My cost delivered was $288. What a deal! It looks better in person than in the ads. Winding it, turning the bezel, the clarity of the dial...all great. It doesn't seem to lose any notable amount of time. The bracelet, however, is imho below the level of the watch. Yes the proportions are great but the edges of the links do dig into the wrist vs other watches I have. I must also say that I resized the bracelet myself and found the pins to be a nightmare to remove. I've never had this issue before. Note: My friend that told me about this watch also ordered one. It arrived and promptly failed about 6 hours later. If you get a good one this is a fantastic watch.
The vintage inspired modern version of the Sea Hunter represents a great value in a classic watch. The classic diver watch style is rich with details, well made, and the automatic movement has been keeping excellent time. The size is just about perfect - not too large, not too small. If your looking for a classic diver style watch, I would definitely recommend the Sea Hunter.
This watch is not only fantastically positioned as a ISO certified diver (200M and screwdown crown) for under $400, its even in a classy case size, and it even is a reissue of a legendary dive watch with amazing history. This is a marriage of price, quality, design and history, this is what being a watchmaker is all about in the modern era. This watch is literally so nice I feel the need to buy a second one sometimes because I love it so much I panic it won't be available one day.
I really like this watch. A good size at 38mm, with a traditional dive watch vibe. For the price, it's a banger that I plan on keeping.
