Is the Haurex Abisso a real automatic watch?

Yes. It uses a self-winding mechanical movement, so it winds from wrist motion and needs no battery. Expect to reset it if you leave it off for a couple of days.

How does it compare with a Seiko or Orient dive watch?

The Japanese brands offer better-known movements, wider service networks and stronger resale. The Abisso counters with a more distinctive Italian design and a steel bracelet at an entry automatic level.

It is styled as a dive watch with a rotating bezel and typical water resistance for the line. Check the caseback rating before swimming, and avoid pressing pushers or the crown underwater.

What size is the case?

The Abisso is a chunky dive-style case that wears large. If your wrists are slim, try it on or compare case dimensions before buying.

Where can it be serviced?

Service options are limited outside Italy. A local watchmaker can handle a standard automatic movement service, but parts support may be harder to find than with major brands.
