START YOUR WATCHMAKING JOURNEY WITH THE DIVER ONE (36mm)
Our original watchmaking starter kit now also in a smaller case. A classic diver case with unidirectional bezel, scratch resistant sapphire crystal and screw down crown. This robust, water-resistant case is completed by a matte diver dial with applied indices filled with lume and silver polished hands (C1 lume). Within the case, the reliable and precise NH-35A automatic watch movement drives your watch without the need for batteries or manual winding, purely by the power of your wrist. This watch kit is delivered with a water resistant FKM strap.
