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 WAVE MASTER PY010ER 300M Automatic Dive Watch – Abalone Shell
PHOIBOS WAVE MASTER PY010ER 300M Automatic Dive Watch – Abalone Shell
The PHOIBOS Wave Master PY010ER combines serious dive-watch capability with one of the most visually striking materials found in watchmaking: a genuine abalone shell dial. Its naturally occurring colors and patterns create an iridescent display of blues, greens, purples and turquoise that shifts dramatically as the watch catches the light. Because of the natural material, each dial has its own unique appearance.
Built as a capable mechanical diver, the Wave Master features a robust stainless steel case, automatic movement and an impressive 300 meters / 1,000 feet of water resistance. A sapphire crystal protects the distinctive dial, while the rotating dive bezel and generously luminous hands and hour markers provide excellent readability.
The combination of a colorful natural-shell dial and rugged dive-watch construction gives the PY010ER an unusual personality: substantial enough for active use yet distinctive enough to become a centerpiece in a collection.
