Distinctive Character
At the time of release, because no other brand offered a light-powered gmt diver’s watch, we leveraged the “24-hour display,” a hallmark of this movement, to the fullest and expressed a “distinctive character” with a deeply recessed inner ring that adds visual depth. In addition to the high legibility of the elapsed-dive-time indication—essential for a diver’s watch—we adopted an “inner glass lens” over the date window out of consideration for the subject, making it easier to read. For better operability, the rotating bezel was made thicker for an easier grip and given vertical, saw-tooth style cuts around the outer edge. Winner of the Good Design Award in 2019.
