Nethuns Aqua Steel AS331

The assortment of our store is constantly replenished with new high-quality microbrands.

The Nethuns Aqua Steel AS331 is a chic alternative to the legendary Seiko Turtle. Let's see why this is a really good alternative.

First of all, I note that this is a more expensive version of the "Aqua" collection. A Japanese movement from CITIZEN with the Miyota caliber 8218 is installed here. Due to this movement, it was possible to reduce the thickness from 15.7 mm to 14 mm. The thinning of the sapphire glass from extreme 4.4 mm to 3 mm also played a role in reducing the thickness, which is still a very serious and important thickness by today's standards, given the diver's bias of 300 meters.

The change in the mechanism also affected the design of the dial. In this model, the second hand is implemented in a disk with the image of a submariner, which rotates in an expensive, common texture of a dark dial with engraved whales. Very beautiful and stylish.

And the icing on the cake of this model is a unique black DLC coating, which is not inferior to diamond in strength and additionally protects the case from any mechanical influences. That is why the black version of the "Aqua" line is one of the most expensive.

The quality of the finishes is very high. The beauty of a microbrand is that it has to work hard to impress its customer. Older brands can afford to travel at the expense of the name. Therefore, the finish of Nethuns is definitely better. Even than the significantly more expensive Japanese counterparts.

There is not much to say about the shape of the body. This is the legendary "Turtle", which many people love and want to have in their collections. And Nethuns has done a good job of keeping the proportions right, making the dial very readable and the rubber strap high quality.

In addition to tactile sensations, they did not forget about the characteristics:

• As it was said - Reliable Japanese Citizen Miyota 8218
• Thick, scratch-resistant 3 mm sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
• Professional waterproof up to 300 meters. The button is screwed down for better tightness of the case
• 120 click ceramic scratch-resistant bezel
• Swiss Super Luminova on hands and markers. Accumulates energy and glows brightly in the dark

Some Seiko Turtles are a third more expensive than these watches, and some are 2 times more expensive. At the same time, all these models have weaker characteristics and simpler finishes.

Of course - this model is not just a reason to save money. This is an opportunity to buy a brand that1 produces watches in small quantities. Makes them with soul and to some extent will distinguish you from the monotonous mass of other brands.

Be unique and happy shopping!
