Ternos Sixties Seahorse Swiss-Made 40mm Faded Blue Sapphire Crystal Unisex Wristwatch 16152591 Special US Edition 100 units only

I purchased this watch a few weeks ago. This is my third watch I have bought from Davosa. Previously I bought the Ternos Professional 500m Diver 42mm in blue color. I also purchased the Black Ternos Ceramic 40mm Diver 200m trialink. I like them all and think they are great watches. Now to the Ternos sixties gold seahorse special US edition for which I am currently reviewing. It is a real good-looking watch and has a definite nostalgic look. It has a very low profile at 12mm thick, and wears well on my 7 1/4" wrist. Currently it has been keeping time within (+) 9 seconds per day. The Luminova on the hands and markers stays well-lit through the night, and is still clearly visible when I wake up in the morning and see it laying on the nightstand. The crown screws in and out smoothly. When I got it the bezel's red triangular index at the 12 o'clock position was off center by about a quarter minute. I carefully removed the bezel insert and repositioned it "on center" I know how to do this properly and have experience doing this with several watches. Bezel inserts that are not lined up properly are one of my pet peeves. Improperly aligned bezel inserts seems to be "The Norm" with most watch brands. I find it very rare to purchase a watch and have the bezel line up properly. I have watches that cost several times the amount of this watch and have had the same problem. One more gripe I have about this watch is the way the bracelet links are held together with the microscopic 2-piece screws. What a hassle it was to remove some links to size it to my wrist. I have sized many watch bands over the years and have the proper tools to do so, but I have never in my life had so much difficulty sizing a watch bracelet before as I did with this one. I did finally get it done with much effort, but I would never look forward to having to do it again. I think Davosa should come up with a better way to connect the bracelet links together. A one-piece screw would sure be nice. I would rather even have push pins used if nothing else were available. Those were my only two complaints. The rest of the watch seems to be of very good quality, and as I said, it is a very good-looking watch with a true vintage vibe. I would still recommend it. Hopefully this was helpful.

Davosa makes very solid watches for the price. The finishing, domed sapphire crystal with AR coating and classic case and hands design are all punching way above their price. The Sellita SW200 keeps fairly average time. Mine is running at +10 seconds per day which is perfectly acceptable though not impressive. One major warning though: the styling for this watch is obviously cribbed from the Tudor Black Bay 58 HOWEVER the hands, dial indices, and bezel markings are actually ROSE gold not yellow gold as they appear in the pictures. Overall the watch is good value for money and I enjoy wearing it even though I was a bit surprised by the coloring when it arrived.

Watch is not what it appears to be in pictures. No weight at all to it bracelet feels as though it is hollow. Watch looks very nice just very cheep in quality.
