NTH DevilRay Dive Watch – Blue – WatchGecko Exclusive

WatchGecko are thrilled to announce our first collaboration with a watch brand! This blue dial DevilRay is one of two watches we designed in partnership with NTH, and which is available exclusively from us.

The DevilRay is supposed to be the pinnacle of what NTH offer in a dive watch. We wanted to take that one step further and distil the watch down to its core elements.

Blue and orange are a classic combination in watches, so it made sense for us to use it on the DevilRay. We wanted to make the DevilRay as legible as possible, so the dial has a matte finish to maximise the contrast with the hands and applied markers. Meanwhile, the bold orange minute hand pops out against the blue dial, so it’s easy to read at a glance.

We removed the multi-coloured depth meter so that it didn’t distract you from the rest of the dial, which now features a crosshair as a nod to some of our favourite vintage deep-sea dive watches.

The DevilRay’s steel cushion case shrouds a 120-click, unidirectional bezel. This bezel features a saw-tooth edge for easy manipulation, as well as a durable steel insert. To make it easy to distinguish between the outer and inner scales on the bezel, we opted for a blue coloured DLC coating on the insert.

Alongside these changes, this WatchGecko exclusive DevilRay is as tough a tool watch as you’d expect to see from NTH. The hands, markers, bezel, and even the crown are filled with X1 Super-LumiNova, for supreme legibility in low light conditions.

What’s more, each DevilRay is individually tested to a water resistance rating of an impressive 500m, and features a double-domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal for superb scratch-resistance.

To power the DevilRay, NTH chose to use the reliable Seiko NH38 automatic movement. The tried and tested calibre beats at a rate of 21,600 BPH with a 41-hour power reserve. On top of this NTH have taken the time to regulate the movement, and it will be accurate to -10/+20 seconds a day.

Why This Watch?

• With a regulated movement, 500m water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and X1 Super-LumiNova, what more could you want in a dive watch?
• NTH offer a 6 year movement guarantee, which is one of the best in the industry.

About The Brand

NTH were founded in 2016 by Chris Vail, a long-time member of the WatchUSeek forum community. Before NTH Chris ran another brand called Lew & Huey, which he founded in 2012, so he knows a thing or two about how to make a good watch.

NTH watches focus on putting a twist on classic dive watch designs, at an affordable price, without sacrificing quality. The brand’s watches are very well proportioned and extremely wearable. They’re also true tool watches, being powered by reliable Japanese movements and having great water-resistance.
