Characteristics

All Oceanus watches have the following key characteristics:

Analog watch face – Note that earlier models have a combined analog and digital watch face.
Multi-band – The Oceanus watches will auto-synchronize themselves if one visits Europe, North America, Japan, or China. Synchronization locations are the Japanese time signal (JJY), the American time signal (WWVB) from Colorado, and the European time signals from both England (Time from NPL (MSF)), Germany (DCF77) and China in Shangqiu City, China.
Sapphire crystal – For superior scratch resistance.
