Speaking of “fun player models” of replica watches, this Tudor Submarine Ultimate Google Co-branded Edition is absolutely inescapable. The little “Disconnected Dinosaur” easter egg at six o’clock will make those who understand it smile at a glance, and those who don’t understand it will also find it interesting.
As a special model exclusive to Google employees, the original version has a public price of more than 50,000 yuan, which makes many watch friends who like interesting designs can only look at the “dragon” and sigh. Fortunately, the replica market gives us a “replacement” option. M+ factory launched the disconnected dinosaur co-branded model this time. Today purewatches will put aside the fictitious parameter stacking and talk about the real performance of this watch.
1. Disconnected Dinosaur Easter Egg: A little surprise at six o’clock
The biggest highlight of this watch is the small “disconnected dinosaur” design at six o’clock.
Friends who often surf the Internet must have seen it: when the browser is disconnected, a small dinosaur will pop up on the page, and you can continue playing by jumping. Google moved this little Easter egg to the dial. The original “PELAGOS” letters at six o’clock were replaced by a three-dimensional small dinosaur with a luminous effect.
The M+ factory did a good job on this dinosaur: it has a strong three-dimensional effect, the edges are polished cleanly, and there are no burrs or paint spills. The key point is that the luminous content is full. After being illuminated with ultraviolet light, the dinosaur and the bubbles it spits will glow, making it clear and interesting to read at night. Many small manufacturers will be lazy on this point, but M+ Factory did not fool around. It uses genuine C1 luminous light imported from Switzerland, with long-lasting and uniform brightness.
2. Titanium case: light, durable and comfortable to wear
The case is made of titanium, which is key.
Titanium metal is lighter than fine steel, so you won’t feel the burden of “hanging on a boulder” when wearing it, and you won’t feel nervous if you wear it for a long time. At the same time, it has higher hardness and is less likely to leave deep scratches due to daily bumps. It is much more durable than fine steel.
The brushing process is delicate, and the edges are chamfered and rounded, making it smooth to the touch without cutting your hands. The logo on the handle has a strong three-dimensional feel, the depth of the engraving and the thickness of the font are consistent with the original. It feels solid in the hand when adjusting, with moderate damping, and there will be no looseness or lag.
3. Disk details: Tomahawk pointer + centered calendar, online quality
The dial follows the classic design of the Diver series. The iconic tomahawk pointer has sharp edges and corners, the edges are polished cleanly, and the luminous filling is even and full.
The corners of the scale and hour markers are delicately processed without any burrs, and the three-dimensional effect is very strong. The font size of the calendar window is moderate, the position is centered, and it is in line with the time scale, and it does not appear offset or flat.
I have to praise the clever design of the M+ factory: it is equipped with Dandong’s customized version of the 2836 movement, and the calendar window is expanded so that the calendar numbers are exactly in the center of the scale, and the size is consistent with the original. Many factories cannot do this. Either the calendar is too small or the position is offset, and something is wrong at a glance.
4. Ceramic ring + watch strap craftsmanship: Don’t mess with the details
The rotation of the ring mouth feels tight and not particularly loose. Each grid position is clear, and the “click-click” feedback feeling is very healing. The gaps are evenly controlled, there are basically no obvious gaps, and the workmanship is solid.
The craftsmanship of the strap is also very good. The links are finely polished and the chamfers are rounded. It fits the wrist when worn without feeling cut.
The buckle part is a patented design of the M+ factory: after opening the safety buckle, it can be opened and closed with a single tap, and the operating logic is exactly the same as the original one. The internal craftsmanship is exquisite, and the retractable strap can accurately correspond to the card slot. It is easy to adjust the length. It can be easily adapted to your wrist when it becomes thicker in summer or when you wear thick clothes in winter.
5. Easter egg + accessories on the back: small dinosaur buoy + spare tape
Turn over the back of the watch, and there is also a small dinosaur buoy logo on the bottom cover. The carving is three-dimensional and the details are in place. It echoes the design of the disk and is full of fun.
The factory also comes standard with a pair of spare tapes, which can be replaced with tapes for more flexible scene adaptation. The steel belt is suitable for business commuting, and the tape is suitable for sports and leisure. You can switch between them at will, which is very considerate.
6. Waterproof performance + operating feel: the confidence of professional diving watches
As a professional diving watch, the original waterproof depth can reach 1,000 meters. Although the replica version cannot reach this limit, it is no problem for daily swimming, hand washing, and shallow water diving, and the waterproof effect is very reliable.
The handle head adopts a screw-in waterproof design. After screwing down:
- Turn upward: wind up;
- Pull up a gear: adjust the calendar;
- Pull two gears: adjust the time.
The operation feels smooth and the damping is moderate. After adjusting, just push it in and lock it. When not in daily use, remember to lock the head so that the waterproof effect is more stable.
