Watch Sharkmaster GMT SMS-GMT-501

The Watch

Since its founding, watchmaker OceanX has been committed to producing quality timepieces that pay tribute to iconic watch designs - drawing heavily from the world of the sea. But OceanX goes beyond aesthetics, pairing cutting-edge watchmaking technology with extremely competitive pricing. Their latest creation is the Sharkmaster GMT SMS-GMT-501. The case is crafted entirely from stainless steel with striking polished and brushed finishes. At 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm thick, it's a watch built for the wrist of a man. The sapphire crystal is virtually scratch-resistant. The brushed stainless steel bezel features a GMT scale spanning 24 hours, and benefits from an anti-reflective coating. The screw-down crown - used to set the date and time - sits at 3 o'clock, with a knurled finish for a solid grip. Flip the watch over and you'll find a screw-down case back delivering outstanding water resistance to 50 ATM, or 500 meters deep.

The Dial

The black dial features a textured, granular finish that accentuates the watch's vintage character. The hour indices, in cream, take the form of rectangles coated in luminescent material. The 12 o'clock index breaks from the pattern with an inverted triangle - a classic hallmark of dive watches. The hour and minute hands are shaped like "swords" in white, providing strong contrast against the dial for easy time reading. The seconds hand is lollipop-style, with a circle tip serving as a running indicator - highly practical during a dive. The bold orange arrow hand indicates the second time zone you've set. Technical specs - including water resistance - are printed beneath the hands. The brand authenticates its timekeeper at 12 o'clock with its logo and name.

The Movement

One of this watch's standout features is undoubtedly its caliber. Powering it is Seiko's latest release, the Japanese-made NH34 movement. This automatic caliber delivers a true second time zone function, represented here by the 4th orange hand. With 24 jewels, it offers a solid 41-hour power reserve. Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the seconds hand ticks 6 times per second - mesmerizing to watch. As a bonus, this new movement features a stop-seconds function, manual winding via the crown, and quick-set date.

The Bracelet

Crafted entirely from stainless steel, this 3-link bracelet delivers comfort and durability in equal measure. Its brushed finish on the top and polished sides give it a refined, elegant look. The deployment clasp keeps the bracelet secure on your wrist without sacrificing ease of use - and its fine adjustment feature ensures a perfect fit every time.

Water Resistance

This model is water resistant to 50 atmospheres, or 500 meters. Whether you're splashing around in the pool playing 20,000 leagues under the sea with the kids or gearing up for serious scuba diving, this watch has you covered. The deep is yours to explore - just remember: don't operate the pushers or crown during descent. Happy diving from the Ocarat team!
