39.5mm Aged Ghost-Bezel Automatic Dive Watch – NH35

A newly assembled 39.5mm automatic dive-style watch with an individually aged matte-black dial, warm vintage-tone lume and a heavily faded aluminium ghost bezel. Its charcoal-grey bezel insert, weathered 316L stainless-steel case and aged three-link bracelet create the appearance of a well-worn vintage tool watch, while a modern TMI NH35 automatic mechanical movement provides everyday practicality.

The clean no-logo dial displays hours, minutes and seconds without a visible date window. Round and rectangular hour markers, a triangle at 12 o’clock and broad vintage-style hands provide a clear traditional dive-watch layout. The watch is new and intentionally aged; it is not antique, pre-owned or refurbished.

The unidirectional timing bezel contains a black aluminium insert individually faded to a softer charcoal-grey tone. Each insert is faded using chlorine bleach, lightly hand-abraded, rinsed, neutralised, dried and inspected. Because aluminium responds differently during ageing, the shade, fading pattern, surface texture and remaining dark areas will vary between watches. The dial, case and bracelet are also finished individually, so every watch will have its own distribution of patina and weathering.

The 316L stainless-steel case measures 39.5mm excluding the crown, 16mm thick and 47.5mm from lug to lug. Its standard 20mm lug width accepts many compatible replacement straps. A pronounced domed mineral glass crystal protects the dial, and the screw-down crown helps keep the case securely closed after winding or setting. The supplied aged three-link stainless-steel bracelet continues the weathered finish of the case.

Inside is a Time Module Inc. TMI NH35 automatic mechanical movement. It winds through wrist movement and can also be wound manually through the crown. The movement uses 24 jewels, runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides hacking seconds for more precise time setting. Approximate power reserve is 41 hours when fully wound. No battery is required.

Each finished watch is checked on a timing machine in three positions before dispatch. Workshop acceptance targets are a measured rate within ±15 seconds per day, amplitude above 220 degrees and beat error below 0.6 milliseconds. These readings are acceptance checks, not a guarantee of the exact daily rate on the wrist.

Every completed watch is individually water-resistance tested after final assembly to 20 ATM, equivalent to 200 metres of static pressure.

This rating should not be interpreted as a recommendation to dive to a depth of 200 metres. Our watches are not represented as ISO 6425-certified professional diving instruments and are not recommended for deep or professional diving.

Always keep the screw-down crown fully secured around water and never operate it while the watch is wet or submerged. Water resistance is not permanent, so periodic pressure testing is recommended, particularly after servicing or a strong impact.
