This is my second Air Diver, Initially I was put off by the bezel on this model and dismissed it completely just from the pictures I saw.
Then on impulse I bought the WZ0371FD (Yellow dial on rubber) I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the watch and discover I really loved the bezel! It has a distinct "coolness" that is really not conveyed in pictures!
Fit and finish is near perfect. The crown is large, has large knurling, is easy to open and close and has a full 3mm worth of threads on the crown tube!
The bracelet is a solid stainless bracelet with classic split pins holding it together, no pin and collar fuss here. the divers extension and clasp are traditional bail and push button release with a heavy scissor clasp.
The Air Diver is thinner than the O/OS 300m diver so it wears a bit better with dress shirts but it has the same 46N4A movement and the dial finish is on par with the 300m diver too, lume is slightly less impressive than the 300m diver.
The Air Diver is a clear step up from the "sport divers" and I believe other than the depth is on par with the O/OS300m diver. It's a fantastic watch that will get noticed!

I will take some pictures against a white background soon!

WOW!!! I LOVE the blue and yellow A LOT!! I have an Orient Mako diver and I love it. I wore it a lot until I got the Oris. At some point I'll get back to wearing the Mako again. I seriously need to look into one of these!

This is a realy nice watch, with a cool bezel and case, but after doing some research on it....

can only be bought over seas from like seiya japan.....or picked up on a forum preowned...

has a mineral or hardlex crystal

and is about $400 bucks..........
to me, 400 bucks, having to order from overseas and a non sapphire crystal is a no go for me........
