Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
PHOIBOS Narwhal PY061B – Dark Blue Aventurine – 200M Automatic Diver
PHOIBOS Narwhal PY061B – Dark Blue Aventurine – 200M Automatic Diver
The PHOIBOS Narwhal PY061B combines serious dive-watch capability with a spectacular dark blue aventurine dial, creating a watch that looks dramatically different as the light moves across its surface.
The aventurine dial is the centerpiece. Its deep midnight-blue color is filled with shimmering, star-like reflections, producing an appearance reminiscent of a clear night sky. Under direct light the dial comes alive with sparkle, while in softer lighting it takes on a darker, more understated character.
Bold applied hour markers and hands provide excellent contrast and legibility, with luminous treatment for visibility in low-light conditions. A date window at 6 o'clock maintains the clean, symmetrical layout of the dial.
Powering the Narwhal is the highly regarded Miyota 9015 automatic movement, a Japanese self-winding caliber known for dependable performance and a smooth, refined feel.
The compact 38mm stainless-steel case gives the PY061B excellent proportions for everyday wear while still delivering genuine dive-watch capability. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while 200 meters / 20 ATM water resistance makes the Narwhal ready for much more than desk duty.
Completing the design is a premium multi-link stainless-steel bracelet that gives the watch a refined appearance while maintaining the durability expected from a PHOIBOS diver.
The result is an unusual combination: a compact mechanical dive watch with the visual impact of an aventurine dial—sporty enough for adventure, yet distinctive enough to stand out in a serious collection.
