Express Review:  Crafter Blue Mechanic Ocean Mark II #MO2SS007

Another microbrand that delivers a real dive watch.  Decent overall proportions (41mm x 22mm lugs x 13.5mm thick).  Pro feature set (sapphire xtal, 300 meter water resistance, Swiss-grade lume).  DLC coated bezel for durability.

Plus:  Nicely weighted.  Solid Miyota 9015 automatic movement.  Great looking gradient dial with legible black hand set.  Quality craftsmanship with excellent FKM rubber strap and fine case finishing.

Minus:  Crown guards make it hard to screw in crown.  Crown could be larger.  No anti-reflective coating on crystal.  Bezel design limits functionality.  20mm lugs would be preferred for overall balance.

Sum: An intriguing dive watch that speaks its own language without veering off course.  Quality look and feel.  Very legible.  Easy watch to become a favorite.
