Pax,

I have one too! In fact I think I bought it long before the name VIXA became popular. Actually I had another one and sold it. :)



Ok according to the VIXA company, they told me that they actually used sapphire for the first 100 peices of this model. After those 100 pieces, the rest of actual production are mineral. However those 100 pieces, the case back is written only as NETTUNO, 500ft and not Nettuno SEA POWER, 660ft. Cos those 100 pieces were like prototypes accroding to VIXA company hence they used the case back of the previous model, the Nettuno Sport which was rated only with 152m(500ft) WR.



Here is the VIXA Nettuno Sport:

But later I saw in WUS, Ernie was selling the SEA POWER with both sapphire and mineral. So did they made more with sapphire crystal or not, I am not sure. Maybe you can email them to ask again.
