In my memory, I heard this brand many years ago, not sure if it is operated by a watch company, but I found it is a brand registered under the name of somebody. I did some searches on google and found most Escapement Time watches are homages of Seiko, and use quartz movement. Today, I want to introduce one diving-style watch from Escapement Time, this is the best-selling watch on their website, from its appearance, is it another homage watch of Seiko?
The watch does not look that big like other diver’s watches, but its case is thick. The watch has a thick case that is measured to be 39mm in diameter, it looks thick, but only 11mm in thickness. The Escapement Time watch is also sold less than $100, the brand offers two options for the strap, a green nylon band and black rubber band.
The watch is 39mm, this is not a popular size, now many watch fans asked for larger sizes such as 40mm, 41mm and 43mm for a diver’s watch. Because the wide design of bezel, there are no extra case parts you can see except the four lugs, the crown is set at 4 o’clock, through it, you can set time and date. The solid case back is screwed down like the crown.
The black dial has the most classic feature which a diver’s watch usually has, that’s the strong dial lume and high readability. Hour markers are big and applied with white lume material, hour hand and minute hand have wide design that can be applied with more lume material, the dial has a very strong green lume light in dark conditions. The date window has a silver frame with black font in white background, anyway, the date window looks a little small.
I like both rubber band and nylon strap on this watch. it comes with a sandblasted pin buckle, by the way, the movement inside is a Miyota 2S60 quartz that has more than 10 years of service life. This is a 1 sec tick movement, not sweeping quartz, it is very accurate and convenient.
