Heimdallr Diver’s 200m Left-handed Watch Review

Heimdallr Diver 200

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.

Heimdallr Diver 200 Black Bezel

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.

Heimdallr Diver’s 200m Black – the big monster in deep ocean

Heimdallr and Seiko

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.

Heimdallr Dial Logo

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.

Heimdallr Blue Unboxing

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.

Heimdallr Bracelet

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.

Heimdallr Engraving

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.
