What are good looks without performance? The large screw-down golden crown is
easy to grip, and screws in and out without any sense of roughness in the screw
threads contributed mostly by the larger than usual screw tube.

full-satin finished case, giving the military diver a more personalized feel while
staying synonymous with Glycine The 60 clicks unidirectional rotating bezel clicks
positively in place with little play for added confidence. The 15 minutes golden
markers on the blue bezel insert matches with its heritage dial layout,
complemented with gilded triangle pip at 12 o 'clock, all that conform a hint to
the vintage theme.
