Besides branding and a great look, you may be wandering what separates high quality watches from their cheaper equivalents.
The answer is construction materials, movement type and in the case of dive watches, water resistance rating.
In the case of the LIV GX Diver’s Watch, it’s rotating bezel is made from corrosion resistant ceramic; which is exactly what you’d expect in a luxury watch (cheaper watches bezels are made from stainless steel which is less durable).
It’s window is made from sapphire crystal which is scratch resistant and anti-reflective, making it superior to the mineral crystal used on lower quality dive watches.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Lume (which makes the hands and markers light up blue in the dark) is of an extremely high, long lasting quality.
All in all, this is an immensely tough and durable watch that’s built like a tank and will be seriously difficult to put any wear and tear on.
It uses a Swiss automatic (ETA 2824) movement. You can read all about watch movements in the info section of my main page on dive watches but briefly regarding Swiss automatic:
An automatic movement is a type of mechanical movement.
Mechanical movement watches are extremely popular with enthusiasts because of the craftsmanship they require; being handmade and containing an intricate series of tiny components working together.
Automatic manual watches, also known as self winding power themselves by harnessing the natural motion of the wearer.
An automatic manual movement is what you’d expect in a luxury dive watch. If it’s Swiss made, this ensures extra quality.
