The Geckota Ocean-Scout Frost model debuts our first-ever steel insert bezel for the adventurous Ocean-Scout. The brushed finish of the unidirectional bezel contrasts brilliantly with the polished surfaces of the 316L stainless steel case, still ensuring effortless legibility with a white engraved diver’s scale and luminous pip at 12 o’clock. With particular attention paid to the Frost, textured dial which contrasts brilliantly against the black-outlined markers, the Geckota Ocean-Scout Frost is a truly eye-catching timepiece. The lack of crown guards enhances the vintage aesthetic and brings to life some of the great dive watches from the 1960’s whilst an anti-reflective sapphire box crystal complements perfectly. The Ocean-Scout lugs are shaped to accommodate both steel and leather straps whilst particular attention has been paid to how a military Nylon strap fits around the watch. A 60-minute diving bezel reinforces the 200m water-resistant capability of the watch.
It features a classic 3, 6, and 9 dial design perfectly complementing the simplistic look of the dial. The raised hour-markers, whether that is numeral or baton, are equipped with blue glow BGW9 Super Luminova – low-legibility will never be an issue. Sword hands complement the vintage theme established by the crown and box crystal whilst a minute track circumnavigates the dial with the second's hand planned to the perfect length; just contacting the track.
Not only are the hour-markers equipped with BGW9 Super Luminova but it also accompanies the sword hands, the bezel pip and markers. This specific compound of luminescence remains stark white in daylight contributing to the sophisticated and clean look of the dial and produces a blue glow during twilight hours when fully charged. The lume perfectly complements the overall appearance of the watch adding to the winter-inspired design.
At the heart of the Ocean-Scout timepiece beats the automatic Miyota 9039 movement, representing the pinnacle of Miyota's Premium series. This exceptionally adept calibre boasts 24 meticulously crafted jewels, Para Shock protection, a commendable 42-hour power reserve, and a projected accuracy ranging from -10 to +30 seconds per day. Safeguarded by a custom-engraved case back adorned with the distinctive compass logo of the Ocean-Scout and a distinctive limited edition serial number, this movement remains concealed within its chamber, a testament to both it's precision and exclusivity.
