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

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.
