As the title states, this is a look at the upgraded Scurfa Diver One Silicon. You might remember the review that Michael Wolfe did on the previous version last year.. if not check it out HERE

What Scurfa, and owner Paul Scurfield decided to do was give it some upgrades, and keep the price basically the same.

So now you have a lumed ceramic bezel instead of aluminum, a domed sapphire crystal., a signed crown, and red accents on the dial and crown, instead of yellow.

Since Michael covered all the aspects of the previous version of this replica watch, I am not going to go into all of that. But I felt that were enough upgrades to warrant a look at the New Scurfa Diver One Silicon. Below is a video presentation to get a real time look, and the full specifications and my thoughts on the Scurfa Diver One.

As I said above, the main changes for the updated version are the domed sapphire, the signed crown and the red text on the dial and the red rubber insert on the crown.

After reading Michael’s review last year I felt the Diver One was a good value for what it offered. With the newest upgrades, it is a great value.

The 42mm case works well on my 7 ½ inch wrist, even though it is a little smaller than I normally wear, I really like how it looks and feels.

The domed sapphire crystal is a nice touch, I always prefer a slightly domed crystal to a flat one, at least on a dive replica watch. The Diver One upgraded still has the same hands and applied chrome markers, which again, at this price is not something you usually see. While I am not usually a fan of red accents on a replica watch, it is only the model name text and then the crown insert, so it is very subtle and I think I prefer it to the yellow of the past version.

The bezel has a slight amount of play to it, but nothing drastic, and I love that Paul went with a lumed ceramic bezel. Ceramic as most know is very scratch resistant and while a lumed bezel really doesn’t have a huge advantage over a non lumed one, it is that “cool” factor in play. The lume of the bezel lights up nice, but it is not as bright as the lume of the hands and markers on the dial. It is just slightly weaker.

As shown in the video, the rubber ring around the crown is a little prone to coming off when adjusting the crown. I feel the rubber ring should have been maybe glued down to the crown, since it is just an accent and does not have an actual function.

Another thing of note, at least on my example, is that the second hand does not tick on most of the markers, meaning it ticks in between them. Now, this could very easily be just my example and if this is something that concerns you, I would email Paul before ordering and have him look over one before sending it out to you. Again, I can not say that this is on all the Diver One Silicon models, just on the one I received.

The silicon strap is fitted to the lugs and is very comfortable on the wrist, but because it is silicon it will attract a good amount of lint and dirt. It is a high quality silicon though, and I enjoyed wearing it and just wiped it off with a soft microfiber cloth occasionally. Since the Diver One Silicon is very affordable, grabbing an isofrane or other high quality strap for it is an option if you want.

As I said, I feel the Diver One Silicone is a great value. Yes, it is a quartz, but its also just $200 including worldwide shipping. And its a replica watch made by a diver, for divers. So whether you actually dive, or just love the look of dive replica watches, it should satisfy both. The upgrades are notable, and make the Diver One even better, both in components and looks (in my opinion).
