The thickness of the strap adds to the inflexibility and overall large feel. The only saving grace is the short lug-to-lug dimension of only 44mm (equal to the diameter)-the strap I found to be stiff and thicker than similar straps.

On my wrist, the watch wears as large as its dimensions imply. The official retail price is $2,350 with a bracelet and $1,980 with this strap. The price of the Seven Seas ranges online, the peak being $2,000 and the cheapest about $1,300 from different gray market retailers. A stainless steel bracelet option is also available. The version I have on loan came on a hybrid leather and rubber strap with a stainless steel buckle. Within this line, there are sixteen variants with five different dials. This 44mm automatic chunky dive with 500m of water resistance. The Seven Seas slots in as the professional diver in the Tutima M2 series, home to over 40 different models of sports watches donning this case style. On my desk today is a staple German diver, the Tutima M2 Seven Seas S in bright Yellow dial.
