The watch
About this watch
Built around a hand-cut fordite dial, the Ocean Crawler Champion Diver - Fordite Type C pairs a 44.2mm case with an automatic movement. Expect 600m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. We place it at Hour IV (Dive) of the Expedition season, for travel days near the water.
Design
A one-of-a-kind hand-cut Fordite dial (Fordite Type C) makes every example unique, framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel and set into a 44.2mm case in 316L stainless steel. At 44.2mm across, 15mm thick and 51.8mm lug-to-lug, it wears with real presence on the wrist.
Movement
A self-winding automatic movement drives the Champion Diver, individually regulated for steady, accurate timekeeping. There is no battery to replace — the watch winds itself from the motion of your wrist.
In the water
Every Ocean Crawler is pressure-tested in water, and this one is rated to 600 metres (60 ATM). That is genuine capability for recreational and technical scuba diving, freediving and spearfishing. The unidirectional bezel and bright Super-LumiNova keep elapsed-time tracking clear even in dark water.
Who it’s for
It is made for divers and enthusiasts who want a serious tool watch with genuine depth rating, Swiss-grade mechanics and a design that still turns heads above the surface.
New, boxed and warrantied — free US shipping.

kevlar strap works best
Swapped between the included leather and Kevlar straps right away, and also tried a grey FKM rubber band. The Kevlar balances the 44.2mm head best on my 6.75-inch wrist. The watch has some real heft to it that took a couple days to get used to.

Bought this for my older brother's retirement after thirty years in Detroit auto manufacturing. A dial made from cured paint slag was the most fitting gift I could find. He was floored when he opened it at his party and hasn't taken it off since.

Glad I took a chance
I was hesitant to drop $1,300 online on a brand I had never handled in person, especially with a loud dial like Fordite. Once I opened the box, the weight of the 316L steel case and the clarity of the thick sapphire crystal won me over immediately.

44.2mm Fordite Type C holds tight specs
I inspect boats around Massachusetts for a living, so I notice machining flaws quickly. This Type C dial is cleanly cut with zero dust under the 4.5mm domed sapphire. Crown threading is positive and the 60 ATM rating is legit.

Well machined 600m case
The 316L brushing on the cushion case is even, the 120-click bezel has crisp detents, and timekeeping is within four seconds daily. Knocking a star because the shipping carrier delayed the box by two days, though the watch itself is great.

Great visibility in the water
Now that I am retired, I spend three days a week kayaking and fishing down on the Gulf coast. Even on my smaller 6.5-inch wrist, the short lugs keep the case centered. Lume glows bright at 5 AM and the Kevlar strap shrugs off saltwater.
CSReply from ChronoSeasons
Hi Tom, sounds like you are making the most of retirement on the Gulf! Happy to hear the Champion Diver is serving you well out on the water.

Solid tolerances
Measured the case at 44.2mm across and 15mm thick, matching the spec sheet. Bezel alignment hits the markers dead on and the 4.5mm sapphire has clean AR coating. Only minor gripe is the crown threads are tight at first and take a firm push to catch.
