Kentex JSDF Pro Maritime Self-Defense Force Model S649M-01 Wristwatch

This diver model is themed around the ocean, a characteristic of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. It is a fully-fledged model with 200m water resistance and a diver's buckle, making it practical.

The logos of the Army, Navy, and Air Force engraved on the dial of the Kentex-JSDF series are provided by the Ministry of Defense Staff Office. The official one is adopted.

In addition, in anticipation of frequent interactions with other countries through overseas assignments, the JAPAN (national flag) mark is also designed on the dial.

The watch features a day-date calendar, which was developed in response to feedback from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) personnel. This is a function for those working at sea who tend to lose track of the day of the week during long voyages.

It also features a unidirectional rotating bezel and a screw-down crown, making it a perfect diver's watch.

The indexes and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova (strong luminescence) to ensure visibility at night. The belt buckle has a diver's buckle function and a diving extension piece to prevent accidental dropping.

The logos of the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces engraved on the case back are official logos provided by the Japan Self-Defense Forces Joint Staff Office.

The Ground Self-Defense Force logo is based on the motif of "cherry blossom stars and cherry blossom leaves," the Maritime Self-Defense Force logo is "anchor and cherry blossoms," and the Air Self-Defense Force logo is "hawk, sun, moon, and stars in space and soaring wings" with the logo placed in the center, and the words "Ministry of Defense Ground Self-Defense Force," "Ministry of Defense Maritime Self-Defense Force," and "Ministry of Defense Air Self-Defense Force" engraved above.

The black and gold color combination is a stylish design inspired by uniforms.

Of course, the design is easy to use for everyday use as well as diving.

Japanese brand "Kentex" JSDF (Ministry of Defense) series pro

Kentex continues to produce practical military watches with the cooperation of the Self-Defense Forces and by listening to the voices of those on the front lines.

This model is a diver's watch with 200M water resistance, befitting its "Pro" name. The day-date calendar, which was added based on feedback from actual members of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, is a very convenient feature for everyday use.

Another great feature is the Luminova luminous coating, which provides excellent visibility even in the dark. It's surprising how affordable this watch is for its specs. It's a great diver's watch to give as a gift to a man or as a treat for yourself.
