Astor + Banks Sea Ranger M2

The Astor + Banks Sea Ranger M2 is noted for its functional and balanced design, excellent legibility, and a 12-hour lumed sapphire bezel. Reviewers highlight its good lume, though one source describes it as good but not great. The watch features a 40mm case and 300m water resistance. One review states it uses a La Joux-Perret G100 movement regulated to ±8 seconds per day, while another mentions a Sellita SW200 automatic movement adjusted by the brand. The pre-order price is $650, with a standard price of $850. On balance, reviewers find the Astor + Banks Sea Ranger M2 to be a compelling GADA watch, with its design and legibility being key strengths.
