Classic Diver kit with FKM black rubber straps
A classic dive watch look never gets old. The key component of a dive watch is a legible bezel & dial combo paired with generous lume application so that we can quickly tell time with a glance in all conditions. The rubber straps also make this watch much more watersports-friendly. As this is a DIY kit, please test the watch for water resistance before taking it as a watch for swimming.
At 41mm this is a very good men's watch size. This tool watch includes some decorations of a premium dive watch, making this a perfect office watch as well. Traditionally speaking, dive watches are one of the military/tool watches that had higher requirements as the ability to tell time underwater helped divers survive and navigate. With the dive bezel, we have a count-down function for the time we have left underwater and also a stopwatch function at a fraction of the cost of a chronograph.
