The dial is topped with Plexiglas rather than a traditional sapphire crystal because it is far more durable and less environmentally impactful to produce. Scratches are easy to buff out, and it is cheaper to replace.
Just as dependable as the titanium case, a customized Sellita caliber SW300-1 b automatic movement is ticking away inside. It has a 56-hour power reserve and, despite being hidden, a gilded finish and signed bridge plate.
By using this movement, Laventure brilliantly ensured that the Marine Type 3 meets the contemporary definition of a chronometer because it comes with a COSC certification for accuracy, antimagnetism and durability.
The Marine Type 3 has an enigmatic but alluring appearance to casual observers. Is it a dive watch? Is it a field watch? Is it vintage or new?
Explaining the inspiration for this watch is a built-in conversation starter, and no one loves a good back story more than a watch fan.
