Tutima Introduces the M2 Seven Seas in a Yellow-Green Dial and PVD Coated Case
Tutima know a thing or two about surviving. They?ve got through Germany?s galloping inflation in the early 1920s, seeing Glashütte bombed during WW2, then getting sacked by the advancing Russian army in summer 1945, the quartz crisis and, lately, COVID and the uncertain post-viral world. Proof, if you needed it, that you can?t keep a good watchmaker down.
It seems fitting then that their latest offering is built to take a beasting. OK, so the M2 Seven Seas S isn?t quite ready to take on the G-Shock for sheer indestructibility but it?d put up a pretty good show. Maybe this is the watchworld equivalent of ?who?d win in a fight between…?
The M2 Seven Seas S line has been around a while, but this is the first time it?s turned up in PVD with a ceramic bezel and a smaller than usual 40mm case. If you find the standard Seven Seas on the chunky side at 44mm, this could work a treat.Â
The case on the new watch is stainless steel (rather than the titanium Tutima have previously used) and coated in what the firm says is ?…harder than the stainless steel case itself…? PVD. Quite the claim. We?ve not put it to the test yet, but it certainly looks as though it could look after itself in a tight corner.Â
The unidirectional bezel?s inlay is, similarly, ultra-hard ceramic to shrug off scratches. Likewise the sapphire crystal – slightly thicker than a dollar – gets a Mohs Hardness Scale rating of 9. That?s the same as a corundum grinding wheel. You?...
