Express Review:  Deep Blue Daynight Stealth Ops Camo #DNSTLTHOPSWHTGREYCAMOBLUTUBE

Deep Blue is a respected microbrand and this Daynight Ops tritium tube automatic carries on the tradition.  Lightweight (three ounces) CFRP (carbon-fiber reinforced polymer) case with stainless steel back.  17 tubes (blue and yellow, the yellow looks green in photo).  Strong military/tool vibe.

*Watch is shown on aftermarket Hadley-Roma Cordura^®  strap*

Plus:  Sapphire crystal.  Cool camo dial.  Well made carbon case.  NH35 automatic engine.  Flat tubes fit dial well.  Great price.

Minus:  Camo dial makes it hard to read the time.  Watch may be too lightweight for some given the size (44mm x 22mm lugs x 14mm thick). Brightness of tubes diminishes over time (10+ years).

Sum: Superb carbon case tritium tube automatic.  Very attractive price.  High quality with all black presentation.  Deep Blue comes through again.

Express Review:  OceanX Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1017

Another big somewhat chunky diver that works well.  Nicely executed overall look.  Superb ceramic bezel.  Deep water resistance at 1000 meters.  Wears well for a 44mm piece.

Plus:  Beautiful navy blue ceramic bezel and white waffle-style dial.  Perfectly sized applied markers.  Screwed links on brushed bracelet.  Ubiquitous NH35 Seiko automatic.

Minus:  Too much printing on the dial.  Can we please have some different handset designs?  Helium escape valve printing on chapter ring looks a bit hokey. 21mm lugs limit strap choices.

Sum:  Solid workman-like diver that delivers quality with style.  Decent price point if bought right.  Take the plunge with the Sharkmaster and enjoy the cool blue lume.
