 Received a VIXA Sea Power automatic today from Shane Delaurian. I saw him offering a couple of his watches at PMWF as asked what he was getting rid of… turns out the VIXA was on his hit list. That sure made me happy!!

 

Shane was kind enough to send the Sea Power on a nice rubber strap…hhhmmm…vanilla, and the extra buttery soft VIXA strap appears untouched. So far, I can’t even imagine sullying it with my putrid emissions… so that may just stay in the VIXA pouch.

 

Specs:
  • 48mm case diameter
  • Mechanical automatic movement optimized by Vixa, date, 25 jewels (ETA 2824-2)
  • Extra crown at 9 o'clock blocks the bezel from rotating
  • 200m/660ft water resistant with screw in crown
  • High grade, solid stainless steel casing
  • Sapphire crystal
  • Solid case-back
  • Unidirectional bezel
  • Black genuine leather band; size 24mm
  • Luminous hands and numerals
I am a bit confused, as I have seen both mineral and sapphire listed as the crystal material. Perhaps Tony or another Sea Power owner can provide more info. This is a large watch, which wears much smaller than its size. So far very comfortable. Fit and finish is excellent. And, of course, it is orange!!

 

PEACE!!
