The Redwood Marine Engineer Watch (from £299) is a timepiece that embodies the spirit of adventure and bold discovery. Inspired by Project Mohole’s daring deep-sea mission of 1961, this watch is a tribute to the audacious era of oceanic exploration. Redwood brings that same spirit of the unknown to your wrist, with a diver’s watch designed for those who push boundaries and thrive on adventure. With rugged materials, modern craftsmanship, and an unmistakable nod to the golden age of exploration, the Marine Engineer Watch is ready for any challenge.
The Redwood Marine Engineer is not just a stylish watch—it’s a serious diving tool, capable of withstanding extreme underwater conditions. With an impressive 300m (1000ft) water resistance, it surpasses ISO-6425 dive standards, making it an ideal companion for serious divers. The oversized screw-down crown, sturdy case back, and state-of-the-art polymer seals work in harmony to create a robust barrier against hydrostatic pressure. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs or navigating uncharted waters, this watch is built to tackle the depths with confidence.
At the heart of the Marine Engineer is the NH38 automatic movement from Seiko’s acclaimed NH series. Known for its reliability and durability, this movement is designed to thrive in the toughest environments, offering a smooth, sweeping second hand powered solely by the energy of your wrist. With no need for external power, the Marine Engineer will keep ticking no matter where your adventures take you—whether you’re venturing beneath the waves or traversing rugged terrain.
The Marine Engineer features a 60-minute 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel, designed for precision timing and ultimate reliability. This bezel is not just for show—it’s a critical tool for divers, ensuring fail-safe accuracy when measuring dive times or everyday intervals. Each rotation delivers a solid, tactile feel, providing the reliability you can count on, dive after dive.
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the Marine Engineer’s case exudes rugged elegance. Measuring 40mm in diameter and 48mm in length, it is a perfect tribute to the proportions of iconic vintage divers. The drilled lugs add to its sturdy appeal, while also allowing for easy strap changes on the go. The brushed finish gives the watch a timeless look, making it just as suited to formal occasions as it is to underwater adventures.
The Redwood Marine Engineer is equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, one of the toughest materials available. Its subtly domed shape recalls the sleek designs of the 1960s, and the 2.5mm thickness ensures the glass is resilient to both shocks and the intense pressures of deep dives. This watch is truly built to endure the harshest conditions while keeping the dial clearly visible.
No matter how dark your dive, the Marine Engineer guarantees flawless readability. The watch features cutting-edge Super-LumiNova pigments, which provide a vibrant green glow in low-light conditions. During the day, the lume appears off-white, but when darkness falls or depths deepen, it shines brightly, ensuring you can always read the time no matter the environment.
The Redwood Marine Engineer Watch is an extraordinary timepiece that seamlessly blends the spirit of deep-sea exploration with modern design and technology. Whether you’re an experienced diver or an adventurer at heart, this watch is crafted to be your dependable companion, ready to face whatever lies ahead.
