AquaSport II
the sized-right Sellita diver
A 40mm, 46mm lug-to-lug diver with 20 ATM and a Sellita SW200-1 that runs a stated minimum of 38 hours. Fine on the wrist, pricey for the spec sheet.

The AquaSport II is the diver for people who read a big diver’s lug-to-lug figure and winced. It is 40mm across, 46mm lug to lug and 13.4mm thick with the crystal, which puts it on a wrist the way a small-wristed buyer hopes a diver will.
Circula’s own page gives a 20 ATM rating, a slightly curved sapphire with double anti-reflective coating, and quick-change fitting on both the rubber and the Beads of Rice bracelet. Fine. The 20mm lugs mean strap hunting is easy.
The weak point is the movement. The Sellita SW200-1 is a proven workhorse, but the maker states a minimum of 38 hours and typically 41. Leave it in the drawer from Friday evening and it has stopped by Sunday night. Circula states the movement is additionally hand-windable, so a few turns of the crown restarts it. The clasp is a safety clasp with fine adjustment in 3 positions.
The price is the argument. Listed at $850, marked down from $940, it sits in the same room as the Seiko SPB143, which banks 70 hours. I think the AquaSport II earns a look for the fit alone, but at the money I would buy the Citizen NY0086 for well under half the money, or save up for the Seiko.

Affiliate links, and commissions never touch the score. Retail partners are not live yet, so until they are, this rail points at the manufacturer's own listing rather than an untracked link.
