The everyday monster.

It is rare to see truly original models among the multitude of divers released each year. It must be said that the pioneers and then the big names who forged this segment of watchmaking have inscribed a certain idea of what a diver is in the collective imagination. This is largely why I did not own a diver a couple of years ago. Then, being a Seiko fan since I was little, I finally wanted to treat myself to a model from the Prospex range. I had to go on vacation to Cape Verde and I wanted a solid and waterproof adventurer's watch. And there the Monster model that I did not like in its first iterations became obvious. Released in 2000, the first generations had a look that was too aggressive for my taste, but this fourth generation is simply perfect. It takes up the originality of the original case and bezel but with more sensible indexes. For me this model is original and well-typed and my watch has undergone several quad outings and repeated baths in the ocean and in the hotel pool. It has not moved and the 4R36 movement it carries has proven to be very precise. However, I have not tested its chronometry seriously for the moment so this is just a feeling.
