The Ratio FreeDiver Helium Valve Black Dial Stainless Steel Automatic 1068MD96-34VA-BLK1000M Men's Watch is a heavy watch. The heavy-gauge surgical steel construction (case, screw-down crown, engraved case-back w/image of a free diver and the deployment clasp) gives it the weight. It pleasantly assures its presence with its heft while increasing the momentum of your hand's movements, rather than tying you down with its weight. The thick gauge, surgical-grade stainless steel and the sapphire crystal offers high resistance against tremendous water pressure; physical impacts and violent tugs. The crystal, the case and the case back protect the Japanese mechanical movement (with its own shock/magnetism resistant features) within entirely against knocks, bumps and drops
