The watch features a Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement, improved lume, and solid bezel action, all housed in a 42mm case with recessed pushers and 100m water resistance. Some owners note the 49mm lug-to-lug may be large for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 highly for its amazing value and comfortable wearability.
