REVIEW: BOMBFROG Diver's Watch BT25

04/22/2013By Redaktion

There are many tactical diver watches on the market. But not all of them have the badge of your unit on the dial. This one could have it. Today we want to introduce you to a simple, functional diver's watch from BOMBFROG:

First, the technical data:

  • Material: Stainless Steel 904L
  • Case Color: Black
  • Diameter: 44 mm
  • Bezel: Black, one-way rotating bezel. Blue Swiss H3 Tritium unit
  • Crystal: Anti-reflective sapphire crystal
  • Movement: Automatic movement, Citizen / Miyota 8215 (21 Jewels)
  • Dial: Black, index illumination H3 Tritium gas light sources / mb microtec trigalight Switzerland
  • Date Display: Yes
  • Strap: NATO strap
  • Lug Width: 24mm
  • Attachment: Screw pins
  • Clasp: Buckle clasp
  • Water Resistance: Up to 300 meters depth

What immediately stands out is the water resistance up to 300m depth, which corresponds to a pressure of 30 bar. Normal sport divers dive in maximum ranges up to 30m, helmet divers up to 50m. So with this watch, you are prepared for the greatest depths. You can truly take this watch down with you.

bombfrog2The sapphire crystal has not suffered any scratches even after heavy use. The bezel can only be rotated to the left to prevent unintentional extension of the dive. The pins for the strap are securely screwed in and extremely durable. There is a date display in the lower right quarter, which is very easy to read.

bombfrog3Here is another picture of the watch showing the black NATO strap. The strap, like the rest of the watch, is very robust and has not lost its function despite all our tortures. The fabric strap is very comfortable to wear but should be washed more frequently in shorter intervals as it tends to absorb sweat odors.

bombfrog1If the lighting conditions should deteriorate, this watch can still be easily read, thanks to Tritium.

The special feature of this quality watch is that BOMBFROG has customized this watch with the logos of different units upon request. These watches are not delivered officially, but rather members of special units equip themselves with them. BOMBFROG offers 19 different watch models for interested units and teams. Small series for your unit can be realized from a quantity of 50 pieces. Simply inquire at BOMBFROG. He has made such watches, for example, for members of the SEK's, US Navy SEALs, US Navy EOD Technicians, Mine Divers, Combat Swimmers, and many other elite units.

CONCLUSION: A truly good, simple, elegant diver's watch that impresses with its very good price-performance ratio. With the generous use of black as the main color, the watch not only has a tactical, but also a very noble character. Even if it is a tactical watch meant to be worn discreetly: a real show-off watch.

Available at BOMBFROG for €313.62 excluding shipping. Watches with the logo of your unit can be specially made from 50 pieces, just inquire at BOMBFROG.
