A bezel lock, finally
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
Bezel lock. That's why you buy a Superman. It's a little locking mechanism at three o'clock that holds the bezel in place so you can't knock it during a dive. Yema came up with it back in 1963 and, frankly, more brands should have copied it. A knocked bezel is a real problem, especially on dives where you're working near wrecks or ropes.
The Heritage is a modern version: 41 mm, 11.3 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 300 m, closed back, cream dial, steel bracelet, date. Sellita SW200-1, 38 hours. $1,005.
That's very good value for the money. The cream dial looks great but is a little less crisp than a black one in poor light. And the bracelet's a bit basic.
I'd happily wear one on the boat. Cheap enough that a scratch wouldn't break my heart.
