Having always browsed the webistes of the big three watch companies in China, they do not give me too much surprise, actually the designs on their watches are not attractive to most people, and the repeated usage of some Chinese elements is visually fatigue, however, for some niche brands that produce homage watches in China, their watches are more attractive and are more acceptable for these watch fans or collectors, I think this is the gap between Swiss watches and Chinese watches, not only lies in the technology, but also the designs.
For this watch I am going to review, do you notice its brand logo and name on the dial? It saying Tactical Frog. Have you heard of this brand? Perhaps it is the first time for me and you to know this watch, but the name Tactical Frog has been very hot and popular in forums and reddit. Well, Tactical Frog and Heimdallr are registered under the same person, so both watches are produced by the same company. The Tactical Frog in this article is a great homage watch of the Tudor FXD model.
The watch comes in a plastic box with thick sponge pad protecting it. This is a big watch with a case that is almost in 45mm, which includes the crown, it is measured to be 14mm in thickness. The watch is made with titanium, so is the crown, the bezel is blue ceramic with lumed markers and pearl, it is bi-directional rotating, but unfortunately the bezel only has about 45 clicks. The finish on the case is ok, especially at the edge and corner, it is processed very well so you won’t have no comfort when wearing on hand.
The watch is driven by a solar quartz movement, which is VS75B, it offers hours, minutes, small seconds, chrono and 24-hour display functions, you can see these features on the gritty dial. The small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock, the smaller subdial at 6 o’clock is a 60-minute chronograph counter, while the 24 hour time is shown at 3 o’clock. The dial lume is also very strong, which is the same lume color as the bezel. The long second-chronograph hand on the center has a bright red color that is a spot on the dial, and I really love the frog logo.
The watch comes with a black nylon band with red stripe on the center that is exactly aligned with the red second hand on the dial. The buckle is also titanium made in matte finish. By the way, the company sent me a blue nylon band for free. And you can easily change the band because of the FXD design of the lugs. The watch has a stunning color design, I like it very much.
If you are a fan of my blog, you may have noticed that I have introduced a lot of Rolex Submariner homage watches produced in China, I bought most of them, took pictures and made comparison reviews, actually most of them have a good quality, and I more hope these reviews can help you a lot when deciding to buy your first watch in China or picking some homage watches to rich your collection. Today, I will make a summary of the top ten best Submariner hulk homage watches made in China, from this list and by reading my previous reviews, you will easily tell which one is the best.
1.Sugess Seaman SP116610LV
Seeing from its model number, Sugess Seaman is a classic homage watch of Submariner hulk 116610LV. I made some searches about Sugess, and found this is a watch company coming from Shenzhen of China, now they have become one of the most popular homage watch brands. In many watch forums and Reddit, a lot of watch fans have admitted that this is the best homage of Submariner hulk. It has a case measured to be 40mm in diameter and 12.5mm in thickness, which is closest to the case size of the Rolex Submariner 116610LV, the Seaman SP116610LV has a green ceramic bezel, its green color on the bezel and dial looks very close to that on hulk Submariner. By the way, the Sugess Seaman uses a Japanese NH35A automatic movement inside, which is very reliable.
Advantages: correct case shape and size, genuine green ceramic bezel insert, Japanese NH35A movement, correct lume color Shortcoming: high price, almost 190 USD on their official site
2.San Martin SN0017
SN0017 is a famous model from San Martin, it has black and green color options, I introduced the green SN0017 on my blog at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2023/05/31/san-martin-submariner-116610lv-homage-review/, and I also have given a comparison review about the black one between it and the Cronos L6015 as well as the Steeldive SD1953, please check my review at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2023/08/20/black-submariner-homage-review-cronos-l6015-vs-san-martin-sn0017-vs-steeldive-sd1953/. The SN0017 deserves the second position because it really has a very good finish on the case, dial and bracelet like the Sugess. Among all homage watches created in China, the ones made by San Martin all have good finish, their case finish should be among the best. The case of the SN0017 is 40.5mm in diameter and 13mm in thickness, the bezel also uses real green ceramic. The watch is equipped with a Japanese NH35A automatic movement.
Advantages: good case finish, sunburst dial finish, correct bezel engravings, strong and correct blue lume, stable NH35A movement. Shortcoming: Bracelet structure is not as good as the Sugess Seaman, the top of the bezel pearl is not domed, high price, almost 190 USD.
3.Pagani Design 1639
Why does this watch have such a high position in the list? We know Pagani Design is famous for making cheap homage watches, their Speedmaster, Tiffany Blue Rolex and Daytona homage watches are popular in watch industry, it is the hottest Chinese brand that is being discussed in Reddit. After receiving a Pagani Design watch, you will find its quality exceeds your expecation because you only paid tens of US Dollars, that’s the reason why Pagani Design should rank so high in this list. The Pagani Design 1639, I talked about it in a comparison review here at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2023/12/12/hulk-submariner-homage-reviewpart-3-pagani-design-1639-vs-vakuy-rigas-v-003-vs-tevise-t801/.
Advantages: good finish on the case and bezel, bezel pearl looks nice, nice sunburst finish on green dial, very reasonable price. Shortcoming: big case over 43mm, weak lume light on the bezel pearl and dial markers.
4.Cronos L6015
I firstly knew Cronos because it makes a good quality Pepsi GMT-Master homage watch, the L6015 is a Submariner homage model of Cronos, which has black and green color choices. The Cronos L6015 hulk Submariner homage has a correct case size and a green ceramic bezel, the bracelet and clasp are nice and have the similar structure to Submariner. The watch uses a NH35A automatic movement.
Advantages: good finish on the case, green ceramic bezel and Japanese NH35A movement. Bezel pearl is slightly dome-shaped, strong blue lume. Shortcoming: Arabic number markers on the bezel are bit thinner, surburst finish on the dial not obvious, too green on the dial.
5.Heimdallr HMSR01
Heimdallr is also a great homage watch brand that has been in this field for years. I have introduced its background information in the first article review about a Heimdallr diver’s watch at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2022/04/09/heimdallr-divers-200m-black-the-big-monster-in-deep-ocean/. Heimdallr is mainly famous for making these homages of Seiko diver’s watches. This green hulk Submariner homage watch HMSR01 from Heimdallr has a great quality, it deserves the fifth position in this list, I like its sunburst finish on the green dial, which is very close to that of green Submariner 116610LV.
Advantages: green dial with sunburst finish, engraved inner bezel, strong lume, Japanese movement Shortcoming: inner bezel is a little high, wrong lume on the bezel pearl, thin bezel markers
6.STEELDIVE SD1953
STEELDIVE is a Chinese brand that is loved by a lot of people, they do make high quality watches and sell them at reasonable prices, when selecting a homage watch from China, STEELDIVE may become the first choice. Among watches made by STEELDIVE, SD1953 is one of the most popular models. STEELDIVE offers a hard plastic box that gives the watch a full protection, there are some accessories coming with the watch such as card, user manual and screwdriver. As far as I know, STEELDIVE does not make a 40mm Submariner homage, the SD1953 has a 41mm case that is measured to be 14mm in thickness, which is much thicker than other Submariner homage watches I saw. The finish on the case and bracelet is very good. The dial has nice printings. With a low price, the quality of the STEELDIVE SD1953 absolutely meets your expectation.
Advantages: good case finish, very nice dial details, strong lume on the bezel and dial, Japanese movement, cheap price. Shortcomings: no bezel pearl, the green color is a little dark on the dial
7.Hruodland F-015
This brand has a strange name, which is hard to pronounce. I knew Hruodland because the Explorer homage watch really caught my attention. I made a comparison review between it and the Heimdallr, both watches are very nice. The Hruodland has a stainless steel case that is measured to be 40.7mm in diameter and 12.4mm in thickness. The bezel uses genuine green ceramic, there are engravings on the inner bezel, the green dial looks great but sunburst finish is not obvious. The watch uses a PT5000 movement made in China, the brand also offers a SW200 movement option for this watch.
Advantages: good finish, strong lume, real ceramic bezel, PT5000 movement Shortcoming: no bezel pearl, the sunburst finish on the dial not too obvious
8.Mysterious Code Submariner
It is one of my most favorite green Submariner homage watches, now it is hard to find this watch on the aliexpress, maybe because of the “SUBMARINER” printing on the dial, it violates the intellectual property right. Now if you want to buy this watch, perhaps need to search it on Taobao and ask one of your friends in China to buy for you. The Mysterious Code Submariner uses real green ceramic on the bezel insert, the dial color also looks great, you can read the review between this watch and the Lige on my blog at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2023/11/30/hulk-submariner-homage-reviewpart-2-lige-vs-mysterious-code/.
Advantages: ceramic bezel, correct case size, good bezel pearl, correct lume, Miyota 8215 movement Shortcoming: lume not last
9.Lige 6801
About Lige, actually I know little about this watch company, I also do not suggest you buy watches from Lige watch company, because their watches are overpriced in China, while sold at very cheap prices abroad, so I do not think they are trusted. However, this Lige green Submariner homage watch looks nice, especially its green color, better than some watches I mentioned above. I love its tridimensional brand logo on the dial and the see-through design on the back.
Advantages: good finish on the case, good bezel pearl with similar shape to hulk, strong lume, good dial color and details, Shortcoming: wrong lume color, a low-end Chinese movement with short power reserve
10.Vakuy Rigas V-003
There is little information about the background of Vakuy Rigas, actually I know something about this brand, do you know Parnis? It is the earliest homage watch manufacturer in China, now Vakuy Rigas is owned by the same team as Parnis, you can think Vakuy Rigas is a sub-branch of Parnis. The hottest Vakuy Rigas watch being discussed on the internet is the Daytona Paul Newman homage model. This green Submariner homage watch is also in good quality.
Advantages: acceptable quality with very cheap price, good bezel pearl with similar shape to real Submariner, real ceramic bezel(claimed by the dealer), Miyota 8215 movement Shortcoming: the green color on the dial not good, smooth dial without surburst finish
In the past, I made a comparison review about black Submariner homage watch between Cronos, San Martin and STEELDIVE, many readers love my reviews, some sent emails to me and hope I can continue to share such type of reviews, because a majority of them often buy products from China, absolutely including the watches, so, sometimes such type of buying guide reviews are very helpful to them. On my blog, except the big three companies, I mean Shanghai Watch, Beijing Watch and Sea-gull, most other Chinese brands are actually making homage watches, a lof of watch fans like homages, so in future, I will share reviews on other homage watches made in China. Today, I want to give an introduction on the green Submariner made by Hruodland and Heimdallr, I will show you the difference between them objectively.
Hruodland, a very strange watch name that is difficult to pronounce, this watch company is located in Changping Town of Dongguan City of China, I have discovered that a lot of Chinese homage watches reviewed here are coming from this town in Dongguan City, you guys must know this city, which was more famous 15 year ago than today because of its sexual services. And about Heimdallr, whose watches are also made in the same town as Hruodland, but they are two different companies, the exact address is different, Hruodland has some quality Rolex homages, while Heimadllr is more famous for manufacturing Seiko Diver’s homage watches. In this article, I posted some pictures to compare the hulk Submariner homage between the two brands.
Box and Accessories
Both come with a black box that is made with hard paper sheet, the Hruodland comes in a cube, the Heimadllr’s box is rectangular, Hruodland box seems to be better and it has a card and an instructions book inside, while Heimadllr does not offer a card and a user manual.
Case
Both watches have a case that is in similar size, the Hruodland has a case diameter of 40.7mm and case thickness of 12.4mm, while the Heimadllr watch is measured to be 40.9mm in case diameter and 13.5mm in case thickness, the Heimadllr is a little thicker, perhaps the higher rehaut increases the thickness of the Heimadllr watch, you can check the comparison photos of the inner bezel in the end of the article, the engraved rehaut of the Heimadllr is much higher.
Bezel
The bezel on both watches is made with real green ceramic, while we can see different bezel markers and the bezel pearl, the green color on the bezel also looks a little dark. On the bezel of the Heimdallr, we can notice the engraving depth, which is more obvious than that on the bezel of the Hruodland. The bezel markers are also thinner on the Heimdallr, but they look too white on the Hruodland, because Hruodland applies white lume material on each bezel marker. Two watches have a wrong bezel pearl if comparing them with genuine hulk Submariner, the lume pearl on the Heimdallr looks larger and a little yellow, the bezel pearl on the Hruodland is actually just a lume dot, which is totally in white. By the way, all these bezel markers on the Hruodland can emit a blue lume light in the darkness, while on the Heimdallr, only the bezel pearl is luminous.
Crystal
Both watches use sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch resistant and also has a good transparancy, the crystal on each watch stands a little high above, the date magnifier on both watches has been applied with anti-reflective coating.
Dial
I like the green color of the dial on both watches, not too green, which looks very close to the green color on genuine Submariner watch. The hour markers on the Heimdallr look a little larger than that of the Hruodland, each watch has a sunburst finish on the dial, I like the anchor logo on Hruodland’s dial, there is a word “SUBMERSIBLE” on the dial of the Hruodland. On the dial of the Heimdallr, it is printed “300M”, while it is “200M” on the Hruodland, well, I think both watches can not dive to that depth, the Heimdallr looks stronger and perhaps has a deeper water resistance. The inner bezel, both watches have engravings on the rehaut, while on the Heimdallr, the rehaut is higher and the engravings are more noticeable.
Hruodland lumeHeimdallr lume
Bracelet
Put the two watches on the table, you will find the Heimdallr has a longer stainless steel bracelet, for people who have a large wrist, I think this Heimdallr is more suitable. The entire Heimdallr watch is also heavier, which is 165.4 grams, while the Hruodland is about 159.9 grams. Both watches have a similar clasp structure, I like the bracelet of the Hruodland more because the buckle has a more exquisite anchor logo.
Movement
At last, I want to talk about the movement. The Hruodland uses a PT5000, which is an automatic movement developed in China, this movement has a 28,800bph, 25 jewels and 38 hours power reserve. The Heimdallr is equipped with a NH35A automatic movement that is developed in Japan. NH35A beats 21,600 times per hour, it has 24 jewels and 41 hours of power reserve. Actually both movements are widely used by these homage watches made in China. By the way, Hruodland also offers a higher end Swiss SW200 movement option for this watch.
Price
This Hruodland has a higher price than the Heimdallr because of the more expensive PT5000 movement, no need to upgrade it with a better SW200 movement, that will cost a lot of money.
Conclusion
Among Hruodland and Heimdallr, there is no need to tell which watch is closer to hulk Submariner, in my opinion, every watch has their own selling points, for example, perhaps a lot of people like the fully luminous bezel on the Hruodland, some people may like the engraved rehaut more on the Heimdallr, I can not tell you which watch is better, but in appearance, the Heimdallr has a closer outlook to hulk Submariner. You can decide by yourself, the Heimdallr is sold at $165 on their official site, while the Hruodland is sold at $259 on its site.
Heimdallr has achieved some renown as a Chinese niche brand in watch field, in past years, many people were talking this watch in forums and communities, I also bought four pieces of Heimdallr watches before, I love them, they look nice and are good timepieces that meet current watch trend. For people who love diver’s watches, Heimdallr is a good choice, because most of their watches are diving styles with big face and superlume, absolutely solid made but with more affordable prices, so you can more homages of the original watches you like at less cost, so your collection will be richer.
This green one is my fifth Heimdallr watch I have bought, I gave two of my Heimdallr watches to my friends, so two weeks ago I made my decision to buy this green Heimdallr watch. Submariner 116610LV Hulk is always my dream watch and its price is always high, it is also hard to get one in the second-hand watch market, now this Heimdallr seems to have fulfilled my wish temporarily, it is also the best homage of green Submariner Hulk I have ever seen.
I made a lot of searches online and found that many Chinese brands have produced the green Submariner homage, but when I received this Heimdallr, I was surprised by its green color, it is the most correct green that is closest to that of Submariner Hulk, by the way, the bezel insert uses real green ceramic material, which has the same green color as the green dial, there is very subtle color difference, this is very important when making a homage of hulk sub.
The case is made with 316L stainless steel, its diameter is about 40mm, but not that accurate, a little bigger than 40mm, the case thickness is about 13.5mm, actually Heimdallr can consider using 904L stainless steel on this watch, after all many replica Rolex watches have used this type of stainless steel, but that also means higher cost if you choose the 904L SS, may be a bad idea. The entire case is brushed, except its smoothly polished sides and crown guards. There is a round pearl set on the bezel at 12 o’clock, it is fully filled with white luminescence, but it looks a bit white.
The green dial has radial textures, hour markers, hour hand and minute hand are applied with white luminous material, they will emit a blue lume light in dark conditions. On the dial, the are white printings of “HEIMDALLR”, no logo, the shark logo and brand name are engraved on the inner bezel, above the date window, there is a magnifier attached on the crystal. On the dial, we can say that Heimdallr claims it is 300m water resistant, this is a great depth, I did not test, but I think 30m water resistance is not a problem for this watch.
The watch is equipped with a Japanese NH35 automatic movement, it is a very common automatic movement made in Japan, many niche brands like Heimdallr and STEELDIVE choose this movement becuase of its low cost, also such type of Japanese movement has no big inaccuracy. By the way, the watch originally came with a stainless steel bracelet, I removed it and changed a black rubber band on, it looks nice.
Besides this green one, there are other two options for this Heimdallr watch, black one and the model with green bezel and black dial, they all look good.
Pilot watch is my most favorite type, in my watch collection, I am more willing to choose a pilot watch to wear than choosing a diver’s watch, I also often follow several brands I like to see if they are going to unveil new pilot watches, Heimdallr is one of these Chinese brands, for me, this pilot watch from Heimdallr is a charming timepiece, it looks simple but classic, and the watch has some similar designs to the Mark series of IWC.
The case is made with 316L stainless steel, it is fully brushed, the case, bezel and lugs, they are all brushed, except the bottom part on the bezel, which is slightly polished and looks nice. The bezel is screwed down into the middle case, both fit each other perfectly, the crown does not have any brand logo engraving on the surface, the sunray finish on the crown is obvious. The four lugs extened from the middle case are naturally bent and make the watch fit your wrist more comfortably. The case back is solid, there are eight holes and brushings finished in circles, the logo engraving on the center is mysterious, it is also one of the elements that attracts me to buy this watch.
The dial is black, the biggest feature on the dial is its lume, what you can see is applied with luminous material, except the date font and second hand. Those white markers, including hour markers and minute scales, are applied with white luminescence, even the printings of “HEIMDALLR” and arrow logo are luminous. In dark conditions, you will see a strong green lume light coming from the dial. The date is clearly readable, it has a black font in white background. The dial is ok for me, but I do not think it is necessary to apply luminescence on all markers, and the white triangle at 12 o’clock is redundant.
The brown leather strap looks great on the watch, actually if it is a black leather band, I will also love it. There is nothing on the buckle, just a simple pin buckle, empty engraving. By the way, Heimdallr offers two movement options for this watch, Japanese NH35A automatic and quartz, my watch is automatic. In a word, this is a great pilot watch even there is room for dial improvement in design, I like it and will continuously follow Heimdallr in future.
In this summer, me and my friends will travel to Hainan Island and surf there, besides a surfboard, I also need a cool looking diver’s watch, I have already bought several timepieces, but my friends saw them before, I need to buy another one which they did not see before, so I will surprise them when go surfing on that day, a watch won’t cost too much but can also dive with me in the sea, so I bought this Heimdallr watch, actually I have several Heimdallr timepieces, this time, I chose another Heimdallr diver’s watch because each Heimdallr watch I bought before has been tested by me to have a perfect water resistant performance, so, before the journey, it is good to choose a brand which I have already familiar with.
I choose the regular black one, there are also other color options about this watch, yellow, blue, green and orange, please choose your favorite one. The watch is big and solid made, it is fully made with solid stainless steel, like a rock and has a heavy weight. This watch is different from my other Heimdallr watches, it features the crown on the left case at 8 o’clock.
It is said that this watch is a homage of a Seiko, I do not know which Seiko watch it copies from, I searched online and did not find the Seiko watch that is similar to this Heimdallr. The case is made with 316L stainless steel, it has a diameter of 41mm and about 13mm in thickness. The rotating bezel features a black ceramic insert with luminous material filled in the round dot at 12 o’clock, it is different from the bezel pearl you see on Rolex Submariner. The screw-down case back also has a shark logo engraving, just like the one you see on the black dial.
I like this dial design, everything looks big, big hour markers, wide hour hand and minute hand, it is very easy to read the time, the watch is equipped with an automatic movement, the central second hand sweeps around the dial with a red tip, which is very eye-catching and also enhances the readability. I think the Seiko watch which this Heimdallr copies from must have a great depth of water resistance, or it does not need to use such a design on the dial, every element has only one purpose, to increase readability of the entire dial. The shark logo of Heimdallr, I like it very much when I firstly know this brand, now I think Heimdallr should change a logo, it does not look official. By the way, the lume light on the dial is strong green.
The watch uses a Japanese automatic movement, which is NH36A. There are four big selling points on this watch, the stable Japan movement, strong dial lume, 200m water resistance and ceramic bezel. Heimdallr can add another selling point to this watch if they could offer one nato band for free.
Diver’s watches can always attract my attention due to their unique design features, they have been very popular in recent ten years, many people are willing to get a diver’s watch when they are going to buy their first watch. Almost each Swiss brand has their own diver’s watch product line, and many micro brands in China also make diving watches, but lots of them are homages of Swiss watches. Heimdallr is one of these Chinese micro brands that provide custom-made watches, other brands like Heimdallr that are doing the same job include Proxima, San Martin, Steeldive, etc., some of them really make good quality homage watches at very reasonable prices, I like the watches made by Heimdallr, because it really offers watch fans a lot of diver’s watches in different styles, on Heimdallr’s official store, you can also find a lot of watch bands in various styles, which gives the wearer a lot of fun to play with the watch.
The Heimdallr watch is made with bronze material, it is the first bronze watch I bought, looks great, some of my friends said that the bronze is easily oxidized, and the watch will look ugly then, that’s right, but you can use ketchup to refurbish, very convenient. The watch is a MarineMaster model from Heimdallr, it is absolutely made for divers, on its black dial, Heimdallr saying “PROFESSIONAL 300m”, does it mean the watch for professional diving and 300m waterproof? I do not think so, few Chinese watches can be water resistant to 300 meters, especially for such a micro brand, this is a great depth under water, I do not think that this Heimdallr watch has passed through the 300m waterproof test. However, the watch is completely water resistant to 10m, you can wear it when swimming.
The bronze case is measured to be about 44mm in diameter and 15.5mm in thickness, it is brushed. Seeing from the side, the case has a graceful arc, the middle case is forged one-piece bronze with screw-down bronze bezel that features a black insert, the color of bezel markers is the same as bronze.
The dial has every essential detail that makes it a perfect diver’s watch. First, the shark logo you see under 12 o’clock marker has a special meaning to Heimdallr, which means that this brand mainly produces diver’s watches. Second, every hour marker is very big and has white luminous material that looks a little cyan, when at night or in dark conditions, the dial has a super lume light that looks green, it seems like that all diver’s watches made by middle or high-end micro brands in China focus on the usage of superlume on the dial. Both hour hand and minute hand are so special to me, they seem to be wider than the hands of other diving watches I have, so more super lume can be applied on the hands, together with the big hour markers, they all enhance the readability of the dial when at night.
The Heimdallr MarineMaster Bronze watch is equipped with a Japan NH35 automatic movement, its inaccuracy is supposed to be 10 seconds each day, well, the watch still works good since I got it three weeks ago, I have to admit that the watches in my collection that use Japanese movements have fewer issues. The watch has a black rubber band with a bronze pin buckle, it also looks very good on a brown leather strap, if you are interested in this watch and want to know more about this Chinese brand, please contact me.
This Heimdallr diver’s watch is very big and heavy, it is a real moster.
Heimdallr is a Chinese homage watch brand, it has a very young watch-making history and most of their watches are diving styles. At first, the owner of Heimdallr only had a very small room to make homages of some vintage Seiko Prospex models, becuase of the solid quality and durable dial lume, the first batch of watches he customized received a lot of good feedback from his clients, with more and more need for such types of homages, he registered “Heimdallr” brand and decided to use a Shark logo on the watches’ dial. Now, watches coming from Heimdallr can be divided into seven sereis, they are Tuna Can, Turtle Diver, SKX007, Sub, 62 Mas, MM300 and Promaster, most of them are homages of Seiko Prospex, Omega Seamaster and Rolex Submariner.
Maybe some people do not like such homage watches and think they copied the design of other watches, but sometimes it is exactly these homage brands like Heimdallr to you a chance to own a watch that has been discontinued in production.
The watch reviewed here is a Moster Diver’s model from Heimdallr, it is really big and thick, for people who have a thin wrist, I do not suggest you buy it. The cas is 41.6mm in diameter(without crown), if the crown included, it is about 47.7mm, it looks big but its case is not too thick, which is only about 13.6mm, the case thickness is very acceptable for such a strong and big solid diver’s watch. The bezel is uni-directional rotating and features diving scales filled with black coating, like most diver’s watches, there is a lumed pearl set at 12 o’clock for the wearer to read time easily when under water.
The black dial has a very simple design, Heimdallr’s shark logo is at 12 o’clock in white color, each hour marker and hands are applied with C3 SuperLuminova, the dial will have a strong green lume light in dark conditions, which will last for several hours. The design of hour markers is very interesting, they are like the tooth of a tiger shark, when you are looking the dial, it is like a tiger shark swimming towards you. To resist great pressure under water, the watch uses thick sapphire crystal above the dial.
The Heimdallr Monster is equipped with a Japanese NH36A automatic movement, which beats 21,600 times per hour and has 24 jewels, this Japanese movement is better than the Chinese movements used in most fake watches, because NH36A has a power reserve of 41 hours. By the way, the NH36A supplies the watch Day and Date functions. There are totally three big selling points on this Heimdallr Monster watch, the first one is this Japanese movement, the other two are its solid case quality and strong dial lume.
I worn this watch when swimming in the pool, it is ok, but the brand said it is 200m water resistant, I do not know if it is true, I have not dived with it. About this watch, Heimdallr also offers many other dial options.
