The echo/neutra Cristallo Professional Diver Watch (£1005) stands out as a masterful blend of rugged capability and refined design—perfect for those who demand both form and function on their underwater adventures. At 42mm in diameter and a svelte 13.9mm in thickness, this timepiece embodies a sleek silhouette that’s as comfortable under a wetsuit as it is peeking out from a tailored cuff. Forged from 316L stainless steel, its case delivers robust protection against the elements, while the inclusion of a Helium Release Valve at the 9 o’clock position speaks to the brand’s commitment to professional-grade performance.
Boasting an impressive water resistance rating of 500m (1640ft), the Cristallo is engineered to conquer the depths. The flat sapphire glass—an impressive 3mm thick—provides excellent clarity and durability, ensuring your watch face remains free of scratches and scuffs, even in the harshest of underwater environments. Its ceramic bezel, equipped with 120 clicks and an eye-catching no-decompression scale, offers precise control over dive times. With just a twist, you can easily monitor your remaining time at a given depth, helping you ascend safely without requiring extended decompression stops.
One of the most striking features of the Cristallo Professional Diver is its full-lume white dial. Painted with BGW9 Superluminova, this dial glows brilliantly in low-light conditions, guaranteeing top-notch visibility whether you’re diving at twilight or exploring a shipwreck’s dark corridors. The Sellita SW279 automatic elaboré movement beats within, powering small seconds at 9 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock—two functionalities rarely found on a classic dive watch. This meticulous movement, renowned for its reliability and accuracy, makes the Cristallo a worthy companion on any aquatic expedition.
Comfort is a priority, too. The folding buckle not only secures the watch firmly to your wrist but also features a diver extension mechanism, ensuring a perfect fit over your wetsuit. A quick click of the side buttons allows you to widen the clasp through micro-adjustments, meaning you’ll never have to sacrifice comfort—or style—for functionality. The screw-down crown adds an extra layer of protection, sealing out moisture and maintaining the watch’s impressive waterproof rating.
Whether you’re a seasoned diver descending into uncharted waters or a collector seeking a sophisticated timepiece that can handle serious aquatic pursuits, the echo/neutra Cristallo Professional Diver Watch has you covered. It seamlessly merges the high-performance features demanded by professional divers with an elegant aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from ocean depths to city streets.
