The Case
The case of the Sea Hunt is 40mm. The lug to lug is 48mm and the overall thickness, including the double domed sapphire crystal I measured at 14.1mm. The entire case, bezel, caseback, crown and bracelet are all 316L stainless steel. The Sea Hunt also has a water resistance rating of 500m / 50 ATM, thanks to the screw-down caseback & crown.

Bracelet / Straps

Movement
The chosen movement for the Aerotec Sea Hunt is the smooth sweep, high beat, ultra-reliable Miyota 9015. The 9015 is a slim Japanese made 28,800vph, 24 jewel movement regularly compared to the Swiss made ETA 2824-2. Checking the accuracy after running the Sea Hunt for around a week, mainly in my Barrington Watch Winder, I was happy with the results, still within tolerances with it showing an average of +9.2spd.

Dial & Bezel

Conclusion
RECOMMENDED – 7.5 / 10 (The Sea Hunt would get a higher score if the small niggles are ironed out for the final production models).
