SH028 Ocean Crawler Core Diver GMT Special Edition (undated)

£495.00

Quick facts

Description

Ocean Crawler is a smaller independent American brand that operates in a similar space to the enthusiast‑led names many Christopher Ward collectors already know. Ocean Crawler has built its reputation on over‑engineering, extreme depth ratings and genuinely tough construction. Their watches are unapologetically functional and aimed squarely at people who want something capable and different rather than familiar or fashionable.

This is the Core Diver GMT Special Edition, an exceptionally rare model limited to just 50 pieces per colour and 200 worldwide, with this example being number 60 of 200. With an original retail price of £1,250, it was positioned from the outset as a serious tool watch rather than an entry‑level piece. In the metal it feels exactly that — substantial, confident and built for demanding conditions rather than desk duty.

The Core Diver GMT leans heavily into specification. The unidirectional bezel is constructed entirely from sapphire and engraved with hour markers filled with seven layers of Swiss C3 Super‑LumiNova for outstanding low‑light visibility. Inside is a Swiss SOPROD C125 automatic movement, modified and regulated, which is running within COSC specifications on the timegrapher.

Condition and performance

The watch is in good condition with clear signs of regular wear.

  • Case: Light marks

  • Bezel: Crack at around 3 o’clock

The watch is currently fitted to a sailcloth and leather strap and also comes with the original shark mesh bracelet, sized with plenty of spare links, along with the supplied cloth.

Comes boxed with metal warranty card.

Timegrapher: Approximately -5 seconds per day.
