Do you know Rdunae? It is my first time to hear this watch, but before I review this diver’s watch, I did a research on google and found many people like Rdunae, especially this diver’s watch, a lot of watch fans have bought it and given good feedback, this Rdunae watch has a similar appearance to a watch from Blancpain, I do not remember which watch now, however, some people said this watch is a homage of tornek-rayville, I never heard about it before. Whatever, this Rdunae watch looks nice, the brand seems to be registered by a company in Guangxi, but the watch is shipped from Dongguan city in Guangdong.
The watch has a fully sandblasted case that is measured in 40mm in diameter and 24mm in thickness, the watch features a wide black bezel and vintage nylon strap, it is sold less than $100, but with a NH35A automatic movement like San Martin and Steeldive, the watch is highly recommended if you are looking for a diver’s watch.
Unfortunately the bezel is not ceramic made, and Rdunae does not offer nylon strap and rubber band at the same time, you can only choose one. This is a very simple diver’s watch, because of its wide bezel, the entire case looks very strong, and the mineral crystal glass is very thick, which stands very high above the bezel, this also enhances the water resistance of the watch, so Rdunae claims this watch is 200m waterproof. The black dial features an unique logo at 6 o’clock, do you know its special meaning? The hour markers and hands have lume material being applied that looks a little yellowish or vintage, in the dark conditions, the green lume light from the dial is very strong.
The case back is interesting, there are instructions engraved to tell you how to lock it, behind it, there is a Japanese automatic movement inside, which is NH35A. I introduced this movement many times, it is the mostly used movement in these Chinese homage watches, cheap and considerable stability are its biggest advantages. Anyway, if there are two homages at the same price, I will absolutely select the one with a Japanese movement with no doubt.
