Casio Collection Mens Analogue Quartz Watch

Product Information

Whichever strap you choose, just be sure to get one with a 22mm width, as that’s the lug width of the MDV.

Even in my collection full of mechanical watches that I LOVE, I still find myself grabbing the Casio MDV106 from time to time, due to the simplicity and convenience of having a quartz watch. This makes it a great “grab and goes” watch for when you just don’t have time to wind and set the time on a mechanical. Dimensions and Comfort Dimensions EDIT: Apparently the North American models still have the Marlin! But the blue dial is bye-bye. It's still unclear if they'll keep producing the MDV106 models... https://www.reddit.com/r/casio/comments/pu5b02/casio_usa_has_the_new_duros_listed_and_for_sale/

The Casio MDV106B is simply a blue dial variant to the MDV106 with literally everything else on the watch exactly the same. Great for those of you who like the MDV106 but also… Like blue. Citizen Promaster That said, the Casio MDV-106 Duro dial is highly “ reminiscent” of the Rolex Submariner and Yachtmaster. Evocative? Derivative? No matter how you slice it, the 44mm watch is a minimalist monster in the legibility department. The well-framed date window and perfectly-sized and placed text keep the Duro’s design”classic.”

The good news is, that since the MDV106 is so affordable, you might have some cash leftover to throw at a few extra straps. I’ll give you a few personal suggestions later in the article. Mineral Crystal My guess is that the synthetic rubber material used isn’t the most breathable, as some more natural rubber options would be. The watch is also very similar to the diver’s line of other “mechanical” brands [hinting at SEIKO, ROLEX and the like]. All traditional elements are present in the watch: large heavy steel case with a large functional bezel, large hour marks [for readability under water], luminescent coating, large hands, and polyurethane strap. So if you want to enjoy a quartz alternative to the classic divers, the MDV-107 will help you do that. It does have one safety benefit over sapphire, however, as a mineral crystal will not break and shatter like the glass of a sapphire crystal might, if under extreme stress, making it less dangerous in the case of a breakageYes, thanks to its 200-meter water resistance, you can swim or dive with the Casio Duro without any issues. Conclusion I’m glad to have a watch like the Casio MDV106 in my collection, as I know it’s one I can always grab and wear, on just about any strap, and not have to worry about it. If you want to keep it REALLY affordable, the Invicta Pro Diver is simply one of the cheapest automatic dive watches you can get. The movement itself is extremely accurate like many quartz movements are. They’re almost always more accurate than their mechanical watch counterparts, and they have the added benefit of not having to constantly be wound like you would a mechanical watch.

Resin consists of synthetic resin and is the ideal material for bracelets due to its extreme durability and flexibility. Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810.

The hands and/or the index have a fluorescent coating and will glow in the dark if the watch has been previously exposed to a light source

Since I spend most of my time behind a desk, and NOT diving or swimming, that doesn’t bother me one bit. The cool points of a leather strap are well worth it. Bring on the flame, watch nerds! I would get slaughtered in the comments if I didn’t mention one of Citizen’s best affordable dive watches, the Citizen Promaster. While it doesn’t have any fancy features, nor an automatic movement, it has 200 meters of water resistance, making it more than capable of swimming or diving, without having to worry about water damage. Many will complain about pairing a leather strap with a dive watch, because a leather strap is not waterproof, and thus, people find that to be a bit unconventional on a diver.It also has an impressive rebranded automatic Seiko movement ( NH35A), which are known for its quality and durability. Casio MDV106B Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB is a slightly more expensive upgrade that adds an automatic movement over the Casio MDV106 It fits perfectly with Bill’s understated sense of fashion that isn’t too flashy, nor expensive. That’s why a simple and affordable quartz watch like the Duro is perfect for him. Is the Casio MDV106 ISO Certified?
