TheShinola Lake Ontario Monster Automaticis a watch that delivers an impressive amount of watch for the money. Its 43mm stainless-steel case has a bold, modern dive-watch aesthetic, while the rich green dial gives it enough personality to stand out from the sea of black-and-blue divers. The proportions, substantial construction and clean, highly legible design give it a distinctly premium feel on the wrist.
Underneath the styling, this is a genuinely capable tool watch. It features aSellita SW200-1 automatic movement,300 meters of water resistance, ascrew-down crown,sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and aunidirectional dive bezel. It also incorporates ananti-magnetic shielddesigned to help protect the movement from magnetic fields.
The stainless-steel bracelet is another standout, with aquick-release system and micro-adjustment capability(WHICH IS AWESOME) that allows you to fine-tune the fit without having to add or remove a full link. It\'s the kind of feature you really appreciate once you\'ve lived with it—especially as your wrist changes throughout the day.
And perhaps most importantly, the Lake Ontario Monster isassembled in Detroit, USA, giving the watch a genuine connection to Shinola\'s American manufacturing identity.
All together, you get a beautifully designed, substantial automatic dive watch with Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, 300m water resistance, anti-magnetic protection, a highly adjustable bracelet and USA assembly.It\'s a lot of watch for the money—and a particularly compelling choice for someone who wants something distinctive rather than another generic Swiss diver.
Comes with the original box, but no foam insert, and no papers.
