Why We Love This Watch
This blue and orange Ocean Crawler Core Diver screams summer beach fun, with it's sunburst blue dial that plays with the light and an eye catching cheerful yachting color scheme that works beautifully. Little wonder then that Ocean Crawler have told us it is their most popular model.
Good looks aren't everything when it comes to dive watches, so it's nice to know too that this model is not just for desk divers, with a very deep 600 meters (2,000 feet / 60 ATM!) water resistance rating that has carefully been tested on every single watch. As you can expect from a professional dive watch, other features include an automatic helium escape valve, seven layers of very generous Swiss Super-LumiNova lume, a 4mm thick scratch resistant sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating, and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal bezel insert to match.
Inside beats a robust Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement that has been carefully regulated by Ocean Crawler in their own shop for better accuracy, so it's great to see that each of these Ocean Crawler Blue/Orange Core Diver V3s comes with a 5 year timekeeping guarantee. However, the icing on the cake here is, we think, the extremely convenient ratcheting diver's extension on the shark mesh bracelet which can allow you to resize the bracelet on the fly while it is still on your wrist. This is an elegant and fun looking watch that is very practical too, and ready to dive into some of life's adventures with you.
