Aerotec Coral Bay Dive Watch

Kickstarter never ceases to amaze us with the calibre of watches that can be picked up from there and it has come through again as it is being used to launch Aerotec’s latest timepiece – the majestic looking Coral Bay Dive Watch. This striking offering has already flown past its funding target in under 24 hours which is testament to the universal appeal of its appearance and the first class materials and craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. Designed for diving, ideal for everyday use, this sophisticated and vintage inspired dive watch is packed with many interesting features that help set it apart from the crowd.

Available for the exceptional price of just $360 during the Kickstarter campaign, the Aerotec Coral Bay Dive Watch represents sensational value for money in our opinion here at The Coolector. This glorious looking timepiece from Aerotec takes its design inspiration from the raw beauty of sea coral which shines through in the immeasurably attractive dial which will turn heads everywhere you go. The objective for the release was to create a no-compromise dive watch that respects history but utilises cutting edge materials. Mission accomplished.

BUILT FOR THE DEEP BLUE SEA

The Coral Bay Dive Watch from Aerotec is capable of diving to depths of up to 200m which will be more than enough for any deep blue sea adventures you have planned. Tool watches are often considered to be the ultimate daily watch as they’re waterproof, scratch-resistant, shockproof, and they look great in any situation. And this awesome offering definitely scores highly in all these areas in our opinion here at Coolector HQ. If you’re after an affordable, adventure-ready timepiece, look no further.

This fantastic Aerotec Coral Bay Dive Watch (from $360) comes equipped with a 2.5mm thick double domed sapphire that ensures it will stand up to the rigours of daily wearing. The double domed crystal are used to enhance the pressure-resistance of the watch and to improve the watch face legibility under water – something which is pivotally important when it comes to diving. The crystal will have a double layer of Anti Reflective (AR) coating on the inside of the crystal to reduce reflections and the bezel itself is made of stainless steel with ceramic insert that are filled with C3 beige lume on marking and has a 120 clicks unidirectional mechanism.

The Aerotec Coral Bay boasts a Miyota 9015 caliber movement which won’t let you down when push comes to shove. This solid, reliable movement has a 42 hour power reserve, 24 jewels, and a classic three hand display with discrete date display at six o’clock. The spec of the Japanese 9015 is an impressive one that brings with it many advantages. For starters it’s more than a match for its Swiss counterparts on all levels; from accuracy to reliability and with a decent power reserve it’s an automatic movement that can be hand wound and features a hacking seconds hand for syncing to your chosen time zone. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 42 hours. After a quality dive watch for under $500? You’ve found the ideal candidate – head on over to Kickstarter now.
