Crafter Blue Hyperion OceanvsResco Stainless

The Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean is a Swiss-made dive watch praised for its impressive specifications at its price point, including 600m water resistance and a Sellita SW200 automatic movement. Owners note the 45mm case, particularly on the steel bracelet, can feel substantial, though the vulcanized rubber strap is described as flexible and comfortable, suitable for professional diving. Some reviewers question the practicality of screwed pushers on a diving chronograph. Kickstarter pricing started at $599. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean highly for its robust build and strong value proposition in the dive watch market.

Owners widely praise the Resco Stainless for its durability, build quality, and excellent customer service, with many valuing support for a US small business. One owner notes the watch features a tight bezel and bright lume, and is comfortable on a NATO strap. However, one owner experienced rust on stainless steel parts despite regular rinsing after diving. The matte case back can show strap wear quickly. Overall, owners rate the Resco Stainless highly for its robust build and customer support, especially for those valuing American-made products.
