This is honestly one of my favorite combinations for just about any dive watch that I can get away with wearing orange on. Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. A few upgrades you’ll see in the Orient Kamasu over the Casio MDV106 is the addition of a sapphire crystal, stainless steel oyster bracelet, and a mechanical movement, all while maintaining the impressive 200m water-resistance of the Casio MDV106.

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 Casio MDV106 is an extremely simple and clean design, with a monochromatic color scheme. This makes it perfect for pairing with just about any watch strap of your choosing. It also makes it extremely easy to find your watch, should it fall off in the water when swimming, for whatever reason. Just be careful that a fish doesn’t mistake it for food. Don’t get the lume comments in this review. I wear my Duro to bed, hit the hay at 10:00, can easily see the time in a dark bedroom. Wake up at various points in the night, still perfectly readable to tell time. What do you want out of lume? Reply The Casio MDV106 is definitely on the bigger side, coming in at 44mm in diameter, and a lug to lug of 48mm.

The watch is 20ATM. This means the watch is suitable for diving. The watch comes with 2 Year Warranty. 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? Once a millionaire/billionaire makes a public appearance wearing his favorite watch piece, it immediately becomes legendary. Bill probably has other watches in his collection, but if you have a love for CASIO, you have it forever. Microsoft’s creator hints that simple, reliable watches are still in business, despite the abundance of technology in the industry. It’s more of a message to critics who believe that simple watches have been outdated and have no right to exist. Judging by the popularity of vintage CASIO representatives, CASIO simple watches will continue to be in business for a long time. 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/ Overall the dial is perfect and simple enough to tell the time easily, while still being interesting enough to look at for even a collector like myself who has a half-dozen other dive watches in his collection. HandsCrown guards at 3:00 protrude to protect the screw-down crown, which, in turn, helps maintain the watch’s 200 meters of water resistance. Don’t forget to screw down the crown before you hop in the pool or ocean, as that’s a surefire way to get water damage. Overall, this is a really solid dive bezel that feels mechanically sound and surprisingly satisfying to use. Surprising Sunburst Dial

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. 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 This bright orange is definitely a bold choice but works especially well for warmer months, and the summer. 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.On the bright side I'm looking forward to swapping some of the old dials into the new cases and bezels. The new "pepsi" bezel might look really good on the old blue dial. I would get slaughtered in the comments if I didn’t mention one of Citizen’s best affordable dive watches, the Citizen Promaster. The MDV-107 differs from its family member [MDV-106] by having a colored bezel [or more color variations] and NOT having the Marlin logo. While the presence of the new red and blue color of the bezel is a joy, the absence of the marlin is a bit embarrassing. You’ll be hard-pressed to find just about any other dive watch with 200 meters of water resistance at this price.

Orient has been producing a few dive watches, in particular, the Kamasu, Mako, and Ray, that offer a ton of specs, while still keeping the overall price tag relatively affordable.Spend a bit more than the Casio MDV106 price tag and you enter the world of amazing affordable automatic dive watches. I wonder about the reason for this decision. The guys at hodinky-365.com assume CASIO ran out of licenses to use the logo. Hmm, I doubt that’s a problem for such a giant, although CASIO might not consider having a marlin on display as something essential.
