Crafter Blue Hyperion 600m
The Crafter Blue Hyperion 600m. You may have already heard of Crafter Blue. At the very beginning, Crafter Blue designed and engineered the curved end rubber straps for popular dive watches. Two years later, they began to design their own dive watch and launched the โ Mechanic Ocean 300m in 2018. Meanwhile Crafter Blue helped another brand UNDIVE to design the strap for their dive watch. Unfortunately, the watch had already discontinued due to some issues. By the end of 2018, Crafter Blue has been allowed to reissue this watch. Furthermore, they upgraded and enhanced the watch in Switzerland. Now, they are proud to launch their first Swiss made watch โ Hyperion Ocean 600m.
Discount Price of USD $599 (Original MSRP: USD $749) for pre-order on Kickstarter.
Design
Overall
The Hyperion Ocean aims to combine vintage styling with modern technology. The compelling sky-blue second tells the spirit of this timepiece. Measuring 45mm in diameter, the Hyperion Ocean is water resistant to 600m/2000ft and has a helium escape valve. It meets the needs for saturation diving. Powered by well-known Swiss made movement Sellita SW200, an alternative of ETA 2824, it provides high accuracy and reliability in use.
Antimagnetic design
To enhance the performance of the timepiece, the Hyperion Ocean has soft iron shields which surround the movement to fight against magnetic disturbances. Protecting the watch from an extreme environment, the Hyperion Ocean becomes one of the most powerful tool watches.
Strap selection
Unlike other brands, Crafter Blue has been developing and engineering high-performance vulcanized rubber straps with curved end design for many years.
Every time, Crafter Blue tailor make the curved end rubber straps for every single dive watch model to make sure you have good experience on wearing without any complaints. The Hyperion Ocean will be mounted on Crafter Blue S2 rubber strap which features 15 holes, double the amount that is typically found on straps, offering increased flexibility in their length.
Model variation
So far, the Hyperion Ocean has two versions. HOSS001.B.R is an all stainless steel model, and HOSS001B.B.R is a stainless steel model featuring PVD black coated bezel.
