Only the word “big” can be used to describe this watch, every diver’s watch coming from Proxima has this feature. As one of the most popular custom-made Chinese brands, Proxima mainly produces diving watches, most of them are homages of Seiko Tuna, which look very big and robust, several years ago, many people like such type of diving watches, I do not know now, but a lot of Chinese brands like Proxima have appeared in our watch market in recent years. This watch I bought from Proxima has a stainless steel bracelet, I changed one blue rubber band one and it looks nice.
The Proxima watch has a case whose diameter is 44mm and case thickness is 15.6mm. The watch is fully made of stainless steel and is equipped with a stainless steel bracelet, it feels heavy on hand, so I replace the steel bracelet with a blue rubber band, and the watch feels more comfortable to wear. The case is fully brushed with a crown positioned at 4 o’clock, the bezel features a black ceramic insert with diving scales, the big triangle is white, while looks a bit cyan when in weak light conditions because it has been applied with luminous material, like the hour markers and hands on the dial.
The dial is under protection of a sapphire crystal, the dial uses meteorolite material that has unique textures, there are round and square hour markers, each of them is big and filled with luminous coating, the hour hand and minute hand also have a wide design so that can be applied with enough C3 Superlume, Proxima uses a red embellishment on the tip of the second hand, which highlights the entire dial and also increases the readability. This dial has a classic design of diver’s watch, but it also looks unique because of its meteorolite texture.
The Proxima Scuba Master is equipped with a Japanese NH35, which is a very common automatic movement, not a high-end one, but has been widely used by such type of custom-made Chinese watch brands, the movement is very affordable and has a considerable accuracy, we know that Japanese automatic movements usually have fewer issues. I have had the watch for almost four weeks, it still keeps a great time, but now it is 3 minutes faster, that’s ok, it is very easy to be adjusted in a jewelry store.
This Proxima watch is ok, I usually wear it when going to a beach with my friends, there were no problems when I swim with it in the sea, the rubber band is a perfect match for this watch, Proxima does not offer free rubber straps for the watch, so just ask them if they can customize one rubber band for the watch when you placing the order.
