Our First Skeleton Diver in our Aquadiver series, and it’s wild! Front and center? A golden wave crashing across the dial like liquid gold. Suspended over the skeleton movement, it’s a design that makes every glance like a blast of adrenaline. Inside? The NH70 Automatic, not the usual NH35. It’s self-powered, skeletonized, and running with 24 jewels and a 41-hour reserve. No battery, no nonsense. Just raw mechanics beating like a heart, like your heart. Steel body. Golden power. Built for 200m of depth and 10,000m of presence. Brushed stainless with a gold-tone bezel that pops just enough to demand attention. Along with our updated bracelet and upgraded clasp. Dive-ready. Suit-ready. Watch collectors and disruptors, this one is for you.

At a glance
Pulled straight from the spec sheet, framed for the buyer. The editorial verdict is the Sensei's take above.
Sensei Says
NH35. An entry-tier movement (think Seiko NH-series): rugged, serviceable anywhere, and easy to live with. Not decorated, but it just works.
At 40 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a 48 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
Fairly priced for what it is.
