The no-date variant of the NH35 platform, eliminating the date complication entirely for clean dial designs without a date window. Identical in every other specification to the NH35 and NH36 siblings. Popular with modders and microbrands building minimalist or pilot-style watches where a dateless dial is preferred. The absence of the date mechanism simplifies the movement slightly but does not affect height.

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Reef Master for its exceptional value, with many highlighting the sapphire crystal, AR coating, and extensive BGW9 lume. The DLC coating's scratch resistance and the included leather and rubber straps are also noted positives. Some owners find the 42mm case surprisingly comfortable and not overly bulky. The Shamrock Green dial and texture, as well as the recessed sandwich dial and lumed bezel creating a 3D effect, have received specific praise. Accuracy is reported as good, with one owner noting +-2 sec/day. Criticisms include a rough bezel action that may require lubrication, a disappointing basic folding clasp, and a date window that is too small. The watch's logo has been described as "ugly AF" by some commenters. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Reef Master highly for its impressive feature set and build quality at its price point.
