The Strap

The strap on this watch is a black silicone band. Silicone is an ideal everyday material - lightweight, flexible, and supremely comfortable. It measures 135×105mm with a total length of 230mm and is fully adjustable for a perfect wrist fit. It fastens securely with a black pin buckle.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - making it a genuinely water-resistant timepiece. Whether you're splashing through puddles or diving into a pool, this watch handles it all without complaint. Showering, bathing, and lap swimming are no problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should not be exposed to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding use of the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
