Housed in a 43mm 316L stainless steel case measuring 15mm in thickness, the Recon Diver possesses a formidable wrist presence.
The satin-brushed finish reduces unwanted reflections, while a unidirectional rotating black timing bezel features deeply milled teeth for effortless operation even when wearing heavy dive gloves.
A screw-down crown flanked by prominent case guards ensures structural integrity down to 200 metres (660 feet) of water resistance.
Despite its rugged exterior, a transparent exhibition caseback allows enthusiasts to view the mechanical automatic movement hard at work inside.
“Combining 200 metres of water resistance, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an automatic Japanese engine, the RGMT Recon Diver delivers uncompromising maritime utility.”
High-Contrast Dial & Japanese Automatic Engine
The dial focuses entirely on split-second legibility. Bold, oversized index hour markers and sword-style hands are coated in heavy Super-LumiNova, casting a powerful glow in dark underwater depths.
A framed date window sits at 3 o’clock, maintaining daily practicality without disrupting dial balance.
Under the hood beats the reliable Japanese SII NH35 automatic movement. Running at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) with a 41-hour power reserve, this workhorse calibre features hand-winding and hacking seconds for precise time synchronisation.
