EZA Sealander BRONZE

EZA’s vintage diver the, SEALANDER has been reimagined in the trendiest of ancient materials, bronze!



This is the new Sealander Bronze; it measures 41mm in diameter, by 14.2mm thick with a lug to lug measurement of 49mm and a lug width 22mm.



It gets a solid bronze case, screw-down crown and bezel with a green ceramic inlay. The watch’s case-back however is in sweat-friendly 316L Stainless steel.



Diver’s features include: a 2mm-thick Sapphire crystal, mentioned screw-down crown and case-back, bezel with dive-time scale and 300 meters of water-resistance.



The dial is with C3 SuperLuminova hands and markers with a covertly color-coded date-wheel. 

The dial design is as the Sealander Ss but here in a dark green color so as to complement the bronze case. Black and blue variants are forthcoming, though.



In this regard the Sealander Bronze is supplied with a choice of several vintage-style quilted leather or rubber tropic straps keeping the watch on theme.



Power comes from an ETA 2824-2 auto, adjusted in-house to six positions. In addition to the Swiss movement, the Sealander Bronze gets “made in Germany” on its dial, a first for the Sealander.



Thoughts? The watch doesn’t really do it for me – some of these divers are getting a bit samey; personally I prefer something a bit more rugged or at least with some special features.



This should in no way detract from what is otherwise a picture perfect example of a classic vintage bronze diver.



Which is exactly why EZA very quickly smashed the Sealander Bronze’s crowdfunding target. What do you think?
