The movement, in plain words

MKII lists the SII NE15 for the Paradive Gen 3. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

On your wrist44.5 mm across, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 44.5 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 79% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 3.3 mm inside each model edge. Thickness is unknown, so no case height is drawn.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

44.5 mm case 49.5 mm lug to lug Wrist model about 56 mm across
Schematic section, with a 10 mm grid. The ellipse approximates wrist anatomy from circumference. Your wrist shape, lug curve and fit will differ.

Sources give the thickness as 15.24 to 15.54 mm, so the side view waits until they agree.

What owners report2 reports on one topic

What owners report

Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From reviews2 reports

  • Reviewer discusses substantial case depth despite the relatively short lug span. Rubber and NATO options change how high the watch sits; individual accuracy comments are sample-specific.

    Written review on wornandwound.com

  • Reviewer found the tall watch top-heavy and prone to moving around a smaller wrist. Rubber sits lower than NATO. Review contrasts sapphire and a removable screwback with the inspiration watch construction.
