Strange enough I can’t find my post from this morning. Thought maybe it’s moderated out for some kind or reason, asked oagaspar but found no problem he advised for reposting it. I probably accidentally removed my post or so :) First time user :P Second take, a bit shorter: I am a few questions away from ordering a Oceantimer because I feel the watch suits my many requirements (which are): - No painted bezel or insert so paint can’t flake off - Raised bezel for protecting the glass - Metal bracelet. - Quartz - Date Questions I have. - I Can’t find any reference about if the movement have EOL (end of live indicator) where the second hand will skip seconds when the watch runs out of batteries. - How many screw-ins does it take to screw in the crown? - Does anybody has a lume shot of the Oceantimer? - I am interested how it would look on a Nato strap, does anybody have a picture? Thanks! |

Gosh, since no one else has fielded this one, I'll take a shot at it. The Oceantimer has an ETA 955.612 movement, which doesn't have an EOL function from what I've read. The crown takes about four 180-degree turns to screw down -- at least it does on mine. :) Lume shots ![]() Sea Angler Zodiac Oceanaire OCEANTIMER ![]() |

Hi SBD, Thanks for the photo’s, nice shots. The lume looks fine to me. It’s a pity ETA does not equipped all their quartz movements with EOL. Te last thing I and guess we want is a dead battery in *critical* times. 4 180 degree turns, that is exactly the same as my Seiko Monster. I guess that is more then perfect as I had never problems with the Monster when doing water sports. Regards, If anybody have a mouth watering picture of a Oceantimer on a NATO trap, feel free to share it with us. |
