I wanted to share the experience of what beats inside the 1KM with fellow WIS and loyal Benarus fans.What you will be seeing is perfection in a dive watch hand6.gif



upon opening the caseback I was very pleased to see the steel shroud that encases the movement.This is not seen on many watches let alone a watch that is being sold in this price range.The encasement adds to shock protection,protection against dust and dirt  and most of all the extra anti-magnetic abiltities of this watch which already has a iron clad case lining and double o-ring caseback!hand6.gifhand6.gif



once the shrouds lid was removed the heart of the 1KM was present,a top grade eta 2824-2 with incabloc shock protector,glucydor balance wheel and very apparent screw down,ball bearing rotor!The 1KM not only excells in function and beauty but it is a true tool diver that obviously can withstand anything a WIS can put it through! hand6.gifhand6.gifhand6.gif


this is my personal 1KM but rest assured that every 1KM produced share these same awesome features and make the 1KM an exceptional value and top notch diver imho!hand6.gifhand6.gifhand6.gifhand6.gif

I will second the notion that this is a great watch!!!! I can't seem to take it off my wrist since I received it!!! I am thinking of trying a review one of these days (it would be my first). It is officially my favorite timepiece!

WOw thanks for posting..great pics.

BTW...the movement shroud. Is it held in place simply by pressure from the caseback or does it screw or slot in to the casement? I've never opened one up before.
