A Splash of Colour and Character
Five playful dial shades: Acro White, Helio Blue, Tuba Orange, Galaxea Black, and Chalice Green. Each watch is accented with a matching rubber strap or a smart Bader bracelet — perfect for summer jaunts or casual weekend adventures.
Case-smarts meet case-wear: Available in either 41 mm or 44 mm, these models are a svelte 11.45 mm thick. The lug‑to‑lug dimensions are comfy at 47.9mm or 51.4mm respectively — just the ticket for most wrists.
Built With Brainpower
Next-gen Light‑catcher™ case: A stainless steel core with brushed lugs and polished bevels, all wrapped in a sunburst aluminium shroud. It's a fresh take on dive-watch aesthetics.
Beat-ready bezel: A 120‑click unidirectional ceramic bezel, echoing professional dive credentials — but with a colourful twist to match the dial.
Dive-Ready Brains Under the Hood
Movement matters: Powered by the trusty Sellita SW200-1 (Elaboré grade), the Trident Reef delivers 38 hours of reserve, a 28,800 vph heartbeat, ±20 s/day accuracy, plus a custom twin‑flag rotor showcased through a sapphire window.
Pure dial design: No date window here — it’s a clean canvas, letting those bold colours shine without distraction.
Why We’re Proper Chuffed
Summer-ready swagger: Fun colours, lightweight build, and a comfortable fit make these ideal for sunny adventures or lifting spirits mid-week .
Value you can feel: At £695 on rubber or £850 with the bracelet, it undercuts many dive-watch options while delivering serious quality.
Design DNA: The Reef series strikes a clever balance between style and substance — stylish without skimping on dive-grade credentials.
