Ocean X Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1019. Chic homage on Rolex Deepsea.
Ocean X Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1019
Friends, hello everyone. With you Stanislav. Online store Feeltime.com.ua. The assortment of our store has expanded with several new micro-brands Ocean X and Nethuns. And today we will consider the first representative of the Ocean X from the Sharkmaster 1000 collection, which means “Master of Sharks”, and the number 1000 refers to the water resistance, since in our model it is just at the level of 1000 meters.
Homage on a Rolex Deepsea
Of course, many of you will immediately say that this model is copied from the legendary Rolex Deepsea. And they will be absolutely right. The very concept of the Ocean X brand is the creation of the highest quality homages for luxury Rolexes.
And here it is worth adding a little theory. For those who don't know, homage is when a lesser-known brand takes a model of a more popular (usually high-end) brand as a design basis, can change the size, colors, mechanism, and characteristics. In the end, it may even change shape, but it is clear that the design is borrowed.
Why is this being done?
Because not everyone can afford luxury watches, and not everyone wants to pay so much for them even if they have the right amount. At the same time, buying a copy is a really bad form, but here a watch in style, with cool characteristics, is made a little in its own way, and first of all it is ORIGINAL!
I honestly love Rolex watches, it blows my mind when wealthy men even think about buying replicas. Fans of splurge and stuff. What do you think about this? Write in the comments.
I have long wanted to expand the range of our store with the Ocean X brand. The watches are praised as very high-quality homages, plus I really liked how they play with colors. They do not stupidly copy, but try to bring their own flavor.
When I opened the first watch, I realized that I made the right choice. They have really drop dead quality down to the smallest detail. And I understood the difference between an expensive homage and a cheap one. In the pictures they all look like a Rolex, but when you hold the watch in your hands, it is clear what you are overpaying for. Let's figure it out.
Watch accessories
The model comes in a small and knocked-down Ocean X box. I like boxes of this kind. It can be seen that they didn’t invest much money in it, but at the same time it turned out tastefully. Yes, and there will be no extra space to eat.
Watch quality. Case, bracelet, bezel
Stainless steel watch case and bracelet. You can see the combination of mirror polishing and satin finish. The quality of the finish is excellent. All edges are smooth, nowhere cuts anything, does not cling.
The bracelet is elastic, has a good attachment to the body, does not play, does not create extraneous sounds.
Very well finished bezel and crown. At the same time, the head is screwed incredibly softly, and these are just the little things that allow you to feel the cool quality of the accessory tactilely.
The bezel is very confident. Good and comfortable grip, pleasant pull and clicks, no backlash. 120 click bezel with scratch-resistant ceramic insert.
There is a shallow engraving of the shark and the brand on the caseback and crown, and the shark is also engraved on the crown.
The bracelet, like the Rolexes, is slightly wider at the junction with the case and tapers towards the clasp. As I said, the quality here is excellent. Soft and very nice bracelet. Folding clasp with double fixation. Cast inside, stamped outside. Of course, I would like a cracker, but this clasp does not annoy me personally.
Ocean X dimensions
Like the original Rolex Deepsea, here the case diameter is 44 mm, the thickness of the watch is 17.1 mm and the weight is 230 grams, which is quite noticeable and I personally like it.
Specifications Ocean X Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1019
According to the characteristics, the Japanese movement Seiko NH35A is declared. 42 hours power reserve, stop second, manual winding. Absolutely reliable and trouble-free mechanism.
Sapphire crystal with a thickness of 4.4 mm and anti-reflective coating and of course professional water resistance of 1000 meters with a screw-down crown and a helium valve to stabilize the pressure in the watch case. Let me remind you that in the original Rolex Deepsea, the water resistance is 3900 meters, which is just space, since the watch was created for deep diving. But even 1000 meters in our conditions is a lot.
Clock face
It's dial time. And that's where the real magic is. Firstly, I really like this ring with the inscription “Helium Escape Valve”, which immediately says that this is the “Deepsea” model, and secondly, it is, of course, the most gorgeous gradient of black and green. I really like the quality of the arrows and marks. Of course, Ocean X actually repeated the Rolex dial by changing the gradient, but how beautiful it looks.
Watch on my hand
Model on my wrist 18 cm in girth looks great. I will not hide the fact that I personally really like this watch. But you should understand that for a small wrist they can be too big.
Results
As a result, I want to say that the Ocean X Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1019 is an example of a well-made homage. I have nothing to reach for. Here is a chic quality in detail, top performance, a very beautiful dial and legendary design, and here is a good price for such quality.
You can buy only original Ocean X watches from us with a 2-year warranty. I hope the article was helpful. With you, as always, was Stanislav. See you soon!
