Nothing really jumps out at me on this one, good specs but it's just another in a minefield of decent divers. Bezel insert is cool though.

I bought the yellow one even though I don't like yellow. Mostly because I didn't want any orange on it and it looked "cool and manly" with the black white and yellow. This became very quickly a favourite of mine! And my.old favourite was an Oris Aquis 43 mm. Really really comfortable bracelet and I love the form of the case! The polished chamfer is amazing. There are some downsides to the watch of course but the fit and finish makes up for it imo.

I’m one of the first buyers of the first batch of Reef Masters back in 2018. I can attest that it has withstood the test of time, even though mine is the black DLC variant. I have worn this watch every day for work and it still looks and feels great.

I've become obsessed with white dials too. So versatile, you can completely change the look with different colours and styles of straps. This one doesn't do it for me though. I dislike the segmented arabics, the whole look is a bit bland and, as another subscriber has commented, I too am suffering from diver fatigue these days.

Reminds me of a Ball dial. Beat error rather high for a brand new watch. Very legible, which I always like. Looks nicely made, clasp apart. Would look good on a nato-style strap I think.

A white, textured dal is going to be about subtlety, but the white numerals/ markers on white dial with white accents on the handset. And the bezel ring... It's a bit bland. The yellow and the black dial version seem to show off the details much better. As one of the other posters here noted, it's just another diver in a sea of divers. I think you'd have to love this brand to pull the trigger. And there's quite a few Phoibos that I do like better than this one. Thanks for the review though! Cheerio!
