Cestrian Dive Series Automatic White Dial Ceramic Bezel Steel Bracelet 300M Water Resistant Mens Watch

I bought this as I was intrigued as to how well executed, the impressive list of features was done. First things First, the photos show a comparison with a Seiko King Turtle, so with the price point in mind, it's an unfair comparison. But compare we will! Both have a similar weight, Cestrian 180.9g vs Seiko 192.3g, and both have a Sapphire Crystal, a Rotating Bezel, Self and Hand wind, Date complication (although Seiko has Day as well), Stainless Steel Bracelet, and, as you can see from the photo's, a very similar clasp (again Seiko has the Diver extension as well), in fact, the Cestrian has a Seiko movement, the NH35A, which is an older and slightly lower-end movement than the King Turtles 4R36, but it's still a Seiko. On specs alone, they seem very similar, but there is a difference, everything about the Seiko is just that bit better. However, let me just say WOW, for the price you are paying there isn't a better watch you could buy, it feels much more expensive than it is, and the quality is superb. You are not quite getting Seiko level, but it is damn close, a lot closer than the prices are. All in all, you simply can't go wrong, if you are unsure whether or not to go for it, simply stop being unsure. I would not be surprised if we see an increase in price very soon, and depending on how much, it would still be a bargain. One thing that is clear is the packaging is nowhere near in quality, in fact, mine was broken when it arrived, I have not spoken to the seller yet so cannot feedback on any responses, but as their mission statement suggests, they simply have to cut some costs somewhere in order to make a good quality main product. I am sure, had the lid not been broken around the hinges, it would have been ok, but, don't let my experience with the box put you off, it could quite easily have been damaged in shipping. This is a great buy and an outstanding watch for the price! Highly recommended!

I bought this watch as it ticks so many boxes for the price - screw down crown, sapphire glass, seiko movement, exhibition back glass (so you can see its beating heart), great lume and ceramic bezel with smooth action. Great choice of dial colours. Please note the bezel works to the left only so not sure why one review said bezel doesn't rotate. It's stated water resistant to "300m" which should cover swimming/snorkeling/showering etc as long as the crown is screwed back down. As for SCUBA diving - use a computer or G shock unless you're a pro/serious enthusiast. My watch gains around 5 secs a day which is pretty much what you get with a daily use automatic. Note lug width is 22mm not 20mm as stated.

Final FINAL verdict: The watch endured a relatively low fall at the gym. Four to five feet max. Indices at 12 and 6 popped straight off and now rattle around inside the glass. Cestrian is a failed experiment, the quality is terrible. Buy a g-shock or a Timex for half of half the price. ZERO STARS. the 300m Cestrian dive series is back, picked up from the post office today, and back in perfect working order. Crown is fully fixed and working. No complaints. Huge chunk of automatic stainless steel dive watch back on my furry paw. Edit: oh dear oh dear. I noted the massive crown and wondered about the longevity of the accuracy and water resistance. Bad news, I'm afraid. The screwdown crown didn't last and now keeps popping out, therefore it now has zero WR. Was never that snug to begin with. I will have to navigate the warranty and return for service or whatever the process is now. Tinny sounding rattle off the bezel too. I will report back and revert to my original 5 star review if this can be reliably fixed but for now.... sorry, Cestrian. Original review: Arrived today. Had to pay some whack of money to get it through Customs, as it was delivering into Ireland from across the pond. Thanks Brexit! As to the watch: Looks absolutely top notch. Beautiful piece, stunning automatic movement, easy to set, seems bang on accurate. Took a punt because one review said the bezel was fixed, whereas Watchnation describe it as 120 click unidirectional which to my relief it is. Screw down crown and 300m WR which is essential. For mine the watch will be in the water at some stage and the timing function of the bezel will be used. Time will tell as to the longevity of the accuracy and WR but I certainly won't be anywhere near 300m just surface but in the freezing Irish sea. If it bugs out I will update my review! Couple of aesthetics to be aware of, if an issue for some buyers: dial is white but metallic white so can look very slightly cream or silver but not overly so. Crown is absolutely huge-normous. Biggest crown I ever saw, maybe that's to make it easier to adjust, who knows. Stuck mine straight on a solid black marine nationale strap. It looks like the bastard son of a Seiko skx007 and a Rolex explorer II Polar. In other words, very cool, and if you're actually using it as a tool watch, the price is unbeatable when matched with what you get. Very well done Watchnation.

Firstly I've only had the watch for a few days but my impression so far is positive. The watch looks great and is comfortable to wear, it runs about 10 seconds fast a day which is expected with a automatic movement, the hand hacking all works fine and the 120 click bezel is spot on with all the markers. All in all a good looking watch added to my collection. Very happy 😊

really pleased with the watch had it about a week and its only gained 10 seconds. looks really nice cannot fault it

Great ,300m dive watch solid build made buy British design company .I have alot of dive watches this watch is outstanding value beater watch only downside no rotating bezel so if you use for diving you might find annoying.

After looking for a white dive watch for some time, I'm glad I found this. To get a fully capable automatic watch with 300m of water resistance at this price is outstanding.

Lovely auto from british maker cestrian . All is good on this watch , i could go on for hours about this watch . but look it up on youtube . For the price its up and slightly beyond others at the same price . If you want a good auto then you cant go wrong with this offering .

Anteriormente compré el Master Series de la marca y desde mi punto de vista está mucho mejor hecho este Master Series que el Dive Series. Comparto la opinión de otro comprador en que el reloj pesa mucho, a parte de que no he conseguido el ajuste perfecto a mi muñeca que me gustaría tener. En general la sensación que transmite es de reloj de menor calidad que su hermano pequeño (con el cual estoy encantado). Una lastima... tenía muchas expectativas puestas en él.

Montre très belle , reçu très bien emballée par Amazon mais montre reçue avec le verre saphir comportant 2 griffes interne sur le verre surement au moment du montage du verre sur la montre par la marque Cestrian . Sinon très belle montre , belle luminosité des aiguilles la nuit , bon mécanisme automatique , impeccable.

Sehr schöne Uhr die Fotos werden dem Original nur annähernd gerecht sieht besser aus!!! Wasserdicht, Saphirglas, Keramik Lünette alles was eine gute Uhr braucht und diese muss sich nicht vor meiner Davosa verstecken ( 1300,- €) !!

Cette montre Cestrian est une réussite. Elle dispose de caractéristiques étonnantes à ce niveau de prix. Verre Saphir, résistance à 300m, automatique stop seconde, esthétique... À moins de 200 euros, c'est une excellente affaire. Je recommande sans problème

Yes the crown is a bit larger than normal. But as you can see it doesn’t show as you might think. The picture of it in the box still has the plastic film on the dial and band. Well protected in the box as you can see. Just a simple movement of the watch starts the second hand to move, so my watch winder case easily keeps the watch wound. The bracelet is nice, no plans on changing it. Entry watch yes but I can see the price go up soon for what features it has. So not looking to break the bank on a white dial diver or diver in general, this might be the way to go. For the price with its features, I think you’ll be happy. The illumination is great.
