Thick, chunky and dependable, with the logo deeply engraved. The buckle is another thing that’s different to the norm, which is great to see. The Super7 logo features in a few places which is nice to see: on the top of the buckle, a keeper loop, and at the base of the long length. It has the classic waves which allow for a bit of stretch over a diving suit, and plenty of holes to keep things interesting. The rubber is super soft and malleable – not stiff at all – allowing very comfortable wear. I’m usually all for a bracelet, but I’m happy to have had the chance to check out the rubber strap, as it’s great. The Rotary Super7 Scuba is available on a rubber strap or a solid stainless steel 3 link bracelet featuring a divers’ deployment clasp. The alignment of them is a little out, but that just comes with the territory of a budget movement. The wheels themselves are the stock movement wheels. The day-date window has an attractive polished border around it, again an impressive touch. Thick markers indicate good build quality and close attention to detail, and the Rotary certainly displays that. The applied hour markers are very well finished and are thick – something I love to see.

They’re bold, legible, and brimming full of lume. The sword hands are not the most exciting design – but this watch is all about function over style. It’s very strong indeed and I have been incredibly impressed by it. The minute hand and dot at 12 on the bezel are both blue, whilst the rest is green. The Super7 features dual-colour lume, for easy reference of the measurement of elapsed dive time. I like the bold orange option, it’s insanely readable and legible thanks to the thick hands, simple hour markers, and impressive lume. There is a selection of retro dial options: a bold orange, classic black, moss green or deep sea blue – so you have a pretty great selection of choices. Other bits of information surround this deep, central feature. The screw-in caseback also has an embossed Super7 logo in the centre, against a frosted centre. There’s nothing to say it has an anti-reflective coating, but the viewing pleasure this provides, it must have. Sitting on top of the case is a flat sapphire crystal, which offers excellent clarity. It’s polished, so may end up getting some scars. The screw-in crown has an embossed Super7 logo on the end, and it easy to grip and has good protection from the crown guards. The insert also lines up perfectly (Seiko can learn a thing or two here). The gentle angle of the grip (it’s not straight up) allows for a very natural grip shape of your hand to rotate the bezel, coupled with the smooth action means it’s a joy to use. On the orange and black dialled options, it’s a ceramic insert, which is pleasantly glossy and catches the light. One of the features is the “120 click uni-directional rotating bezel with pip”. The case has brushed tops of the lugs and crown guards, as well as the bottom.
In fact, I got a small mark on the side of the case within the first couple of days of opening this one. The case has polished sides, which is an interesting choice for what is, in reality, a tool watch that will inevitably get knocked about a bit. Although I do like the slight angle on the bezel grip which flows nicely from the case main.
The case is a traditional rounded barrel style, nothing too exciting. want or have to wear under your shirt cuff. The height of 14mm is a bit on the tall side, but it’s not the kind of watch you’ll. They don’t protrude out much at all, allowing it to fit well on my 7” wrist. How does it wear? Surprisingly well for a watch with a 42mm diameter, mainly thanks to the rather stubby lug length of 48mm.
