It boasts a 300-meter water resistance, a big date complication, and a flyback function that allows users to restart the chronograph without needing to reset the elapsed time hands. The watch features an in-house Caliber 37 movement, which not only provides a 70-hour power reserve but also showcases exquisite craftsmanship through a see-through caseback that reveals a beautifully decorated movement.

The SeaQ Chronograph stands out with its luxurious appearance and diving capabilities, including a unidirectional rotating bezel and luminous markers for visibility in low-light conditions.

Overall, the SeaQ Chronograph is a reliable luxury timepiece that successfully merges style with functionality in the world of dive watches.
