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.
