OCEAN CRAWLER LUME RUSH WATCH REVIEW

I simply occur to love watches for diving. Being real, this watch I'm reviewing today might not be employed for diving either, though I think so far as construction goes, it might handle it. The Sea Crawler Lume Hurry Diver isn't your typical dive watch, particularly with the sandwich cut-out dial, but it's fun to check out, fun to photograph and fun to put on. This can be a standout model from Sea Crawler. They've got more traditional three hands watches for diving on their website, variations of the model and a replacement in route. Sometimes you would like different things though, which entire watch is fairly different as you would expect.

Who's Sea Crawler you may well ask? That's a good question and the right place to begin. They're a really new microbrand which has really been creating a splash on the internet and especially social networking. I'm not likely to copy text from their site or paraphrase, so you can check out the Sea Crawler website and browse their story and all sorts of about how exactly the company came into existence, but Let me tell you my primary ideas initially when i first saw the company. Now, bear in mind, I'm always a reality check and the very first time I saw the company online, I ignored them. I saw the name and a few pictures of their first model and immediately thought, “That looks a lot more like an airplane pilot watch than the usual diver”. I didn't consider the site lengthy, and just glossed regarding this, to not consider them again. Then i began to determine images from some good photographers on Instagram appearing from the original diver and also the more I looked, the greater I loved it. “ Why did I dismiss them so quick?”, is exactly what was running through my mind. I Then saw the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry Diver and that i understood I needed to acquire one in hands for review.

Now, let’s be obvious here. If you haven't viewed 

The recording yet, the dial is clearly inspired by Sarpaneva Watches. I haven't shied from this and I don't believe Sea Crawler is either. I am talking about, it might be difficult to do so having a dial similar to this. The style of the dial isn't an exact copy at all, but it's apparent where they were given the concept from. I'm okay with homages obviously, and all of those other watch is definitely an original design so far as I understand, significantly improved it is offered, we are able to move ahead. You are aware how you receive a new watch in and catch yourself looking in the dial again and again? Well, here is another in hands and that i promise will stare only at that watch greater than you thought was possible. It is only beautiful. The applied lume dots around the group of friends from the dial, all of the precise cutouts, it is only awesome. Obviously, as you can tell in any pictures, it's better still at nighttime. If you're a lume junkie, you'll overdose around the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry Diver.

Powering the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry Diver is really a modified Seiko 4R36b automatic movement. It's mentioned it's modified to possess better still precision and shock resistance. Sea Crawler states it's certain to keep precise here we are at five years. There are lots of tests completed to the movement and also the watch itself, and you may read about it around the Sea Crawler Website, however i will copy this portion just to get a concept of how serious they're about creating a hard use watch:

“Ocean Crawler watches need to pass ten different drop tests before their launch. Probably the most severe may be the high-impact hammer test. This shock testing equipment submits the timepiece for an impact equal to 6,000 G - Countless occasions greater than a vehicle crash test. The watch needs to remain unharmed and completely functional later on, maintaining a higher standard of precision.”

It's pretty apparent which i love the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry Diver, and I've got a standard PVD version in hands too at this time that i'm looking at and like it likewise. That doesn't mean there aren't a couple of areas for improvement. Certainly one of individuals will be the orange rubber strap. The strap is fine in looks and also the comfort department, however the keepers have me confused. They're just not really needed considering that the deployant clasp works. The leather strap is excellent, however a little around the short side, particularly if you are someone having a bigger wrist. Another area will be the situation would take advantage of drilled lugs. It's tight match straps, the leather getting curved spring bars, the the rubber getting the molded finish piece, that it is always good to get it be simpler to obtain the straps off and on. Really, when i type this, quick release spring bars would actually do well here.

With regards to comfort and fit, the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry feels 

And looks great around the wrist. I have not made the decision whether I love the rubber or leather strap better, it may be a tie. It's also nice to achieve the choice of both, as both make the timepiece look different. As the Lume Hurry isn't a wrist watch you are able to liven up, Personally i think the leather strap works more effectively for additional every single day put on, and also the rubber when ever within the water or by the pool, etc, which I know is exactly what Sea Crawler intended.

I mentioned at first that I don't think most be using this form of the Champion Diver diving, and that i still uphold it. I am talking about, should you choose go diving, you're most likely not timing anything by using it, because you probably know this, it's a little difficult to begin to see the hands and markers with all of that is happening using the dial. That's okay though. As the watch can easily handle the majority of what you could throw in internet marketing, Personally i think the allure is the fact that badass dial and it'll probably see more desk diving than anything. If you prefer a classical diver, browse the other versions from the Champion Diver. If you would like some thing funky, higher productivity there and merely plain awesome, you might like to carry the Sea Crawler Lume Hurry. As I might have been quick to dismiss, I'm a believer now. Sea Crawler is a to look out for 2018. They might be microbrand of the season so far as I'm concerned, and also the year only has just begun.
