In the ever-evolving world of dive watches, the phrase 'less is more' finds its perfect embodiment in the new Fleux FLX004.

With its strikingly minimalist design, this watch stands apart from the myriad of microbrand dive watches flooding the market at similar price points. Offering notable specifications, including an impressive depth rating and a reliable mechanical movement, this timepiece positions itself as both a functional diving tool and a chic everyday accessory.

A Design That Transcends Trends

The Fleux FLX004 features a robust brushed 316L stainless steel case with polished chamfers, measuring 38mm in diameter and 14mm in thickness (including the crystal). This gives it a retro feel, though it leans toward the thicker end of the spectrum. The lug-to-lug distance is a comfortable 47mm. Its bidirectional rotating bezel, crafted from black anodized aluminum, has a singular Super-LumiNova C3 dot at the 12 o'clock position, forsaking traditional markings for a clean aesthetic—sufficient for casual diving and depths up to 200 meters.

With an oversized screw-down crown that facilitates easy adjustments and a solid case back featuring a stylish spiral brushed finish, this watch is built for both utility and elegance. Adding to its eco-friendly appeal, it includes a 20mm SEAQUAL Strap made from recycled ocean plastic, which, while firm out of the box, promises to soften over time.

A Dial That Defies Convention

The standout feature of the Fleux FLX004 lies in its glossy black sector dial, a nod to historical navigational instruments. Covered with a box-shaped sapphire crystal that adds an additional 2mm to its case height, this watch emphasizes legibility. Matte silver hands—complete with Super-LumiNova C3 'Old Radium' inserts—contrast beautifully against the dark dial, boasting a luminous quality that performs excellently in low-light conditions. The unadorned matte silver ring encircling the dial compliments its minimalist theme, further enhancing readability with a steady green glow illuminating the dial.

Reliable Movement for the Adventurous Spirit

At the heart of the Fleux FLX004 beats the Seiko NH38A automatic movement, recognized for its durability and accuracy. As a no-date variant of the NH35A, it boasts 24 jewels and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz), offering a robust 41-hour power reserve. With features like central hours and minutes, along with hacking seconds, this movement promises reliability, typically achieving an accuracy of -20/+40 seconds per day—often performing better under real-world conditions.

An Unmissable Offer

The Fleux FLX004 is priced at an attractive USD 499 with a scheduled release date of March 26, casting it as an affordable option for those in search of a unique skin diver featuring 200 meters of water resistance and a proven Japanese automatic movement. This watch marks the fourth release from Fleux Watches and showcases their commitment to elegant minimalism.
