  • Our take on the Diver 200M Automatic Commando Vintage Diving Watch

    A mil-spec style dive watch with a black dial, aged-look "Old Radium" Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices, and a sapphire crystal. The Seiko NH38 automatic movement is a no-date caliber, so the dial stays clean and there is no date to set. It is rated to 200 m with a unidirectional 120-click bezel, which puts it alongside other entry-level Swiss and Japanese divers on water resistance and crystal, though it skips the date and the brand heritage those rivals carry. It suits buyers who want vintage military looks and a reliable Japanese automatic without paying for a heritage name.

    About the Diver 200M Automatic Commando Vintage Diving Watch

    This is an automatic dive watch with a black dial. "Old Radium" Super-LumiNova® coats all the hands and indices. The case is hand-finished 316L stainless steel, polished and brushed, with a screw-down crown and a flat sapphire crystal that has an anti-reflective coating on the inside. It is water resistant to 200 m.

    The bezel is 316L stainless steel with a black anodized aluminum insert. It is unidirectional, rotates in 120 clicks, and has "Old Radium" Super-LumiNova® markers at 12 o'clock (a triangle) and at 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 min/sec.

    A Japanese Seiko NH38 automatic movement powers the watch. It winds automatically and by hand, and it has no date, so the crown has no date-setting position. The watch comes on a black Rally "Tropic" NBR rubber strap, a beads-of-rice bracelet or a 3-link bracelet.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Seiko NH38 a good movement?
    It is a proven Japanese automatic used in many affordable divers. It is reliable and easy for a watchmaker to service, though it is a basic caliber without fancy finishing.
    Does it have a date?
    No. The NH38 is a no-date movement, so the dial has only hours, minutes and seconds.
    Can I swim with it?
    Yes. It is rated to 200 m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Have the crown screwed down and the seals checked before diving.
    Sapphire or mineral crystal?
    It uses a sapphire crystal, which is much harder to scratch than the mineral glass common on cheaper divers.
    What strap options are there?
    It comes on a black Tropic-style rubber strap, a beads-of-rice bracelet or a three-link bracelet.
    How does it compare with a Seiko diver?
    It offers similar specs, sapphire and 200 m, with a more vintage military look. A Seiko brings stronger brand recognition and dealer support.
