THE TROPICAL DIAL
The Tropical Dial: A revered quality of grail watches that watch enthusiasts love and want. We're not saying this is a replacement for an authentic tropical dial, but we just want you to enjoy one without selling an arm, and a leg, and a kidney, and your house, and your car, and probably everything you own.
WE'RE GETTING DEEP
We've now tested the DG010 to go up to 200 meters of depth. This also means that all previous versions of the DG010 by assumption can make it to that depth. We don't know why you would want to go that deep, nor do we even know why you would need something that can go this deep. Maybe it is nice to have, I guess? What ever floats your boat, or sinks your ship or something?
DOUBLE DOMED
HIGH HAT
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
What a mouthful. What this just means is that this is essentially scratch-resistant. It sits loud and proud just like those vintage acrylic crystals minus the fuss. Just don't go around scratching it with diamonds because that's its weakness. We also don't know why you would do that.
ALUMINUM OR ALUMINIUM?
Aluminum or aluminium? We don't know which is which, but we did change the bezel to a circular brushed alumin(i)um bezel. Haters will say it's a downgrade from the lumed sapphire bezel, while others will say it is an improvement since it won't crack or break. Overall, we just think this looks much better as an homage to neo-vintage divers.
POWERED BY THE SEIKO NH35
Yes, we know you love Seiko. Yes, we also know you're gonna say it's another Seiko NH35 movement watch. We're practical people, and practical people love this movement. Robust, trusted, and reliable. Besides, for this price-point that you're asking for, we're not gonna put a Sellita or an ETA. Let's be rational people.
SCREW LINKS & SOLID EVERYTHING
We know some of you care a lot about how the bracelet jangles and how it catches your hairs and maybe gives you a wax on your wrist while you wear it. Personally, we don't like that. So we made everything solid milled from 316L Stainless Steel. As a bonus, we also upgraded the screw links to be screwed in from the same side. No more screws unscrewing themselves from your bracelet.
p.s. No we're not gonna call it an oyster bracelet. It is a 3-link bracelet. Call it what you want.
LUMEY
Lume on the dial, lume pip on the bezel. Made with Swiss C3 formula lume with a little cream color on the side to give you that faux-vintage patina feel. Not much to say but it works both functionally and aesthetically.

A LIMITED SERIES
This is a limited series run only for the summer of 2024.
We're not artificially making this limited. The brown tropical dials and aluminum bezels are just a one-off production as a personal project by our founder (who had this for months now). He just wants to finally share and unleash this to the watch community. He also did the write-up for this page in case you are wondering.
Anyways, presenting the DG010 Tropical Brown Special Edition!
