Cronos Sub Diver Sunray Green Limited

Owners widely praise the Cronos Sub Diver Sunray Green Limited (L6005) as a top budget dive watch, with one owner calling it fantastic and another the best in its class. The green bezel is specifically highlighted as looking closest to the actual Submariner. However, one owner found the 40mm case too large for an 18cm wrist, and another noted the signed milled clasp lacks a glide feature. The watch features sapphire glass with AR coating, a ceramic bezel, and BGW9 Superluminova. Overall, owners rate the Cronos Sub Diver Sunray Green Limited (L6005) highly for its value and design, despite some differing opinions on sizing and clasp functionality.
