PROXIMA PX1697: The High-Beat "Manta Ray" Luxury Sport Watch

The PROXIMA PX1697 is a masterclass in modern horology, blending the elegance of a classic dress watch with the rugged specifications of a professional diver. Featuring a stunning white enamel dial and "Grand Seiko" level handset finishing, this 39mm timepiece is designed for the enthusiast who demands luxury aesthetics without sacrificing durability.

From the liquid-smooth sweep of its high-beat movement to the mirror-polished ceramic bezel, the PX1697 represents the pinnacle of microbrand craftsmanship available at PickedWatches.com.

Key Features

• - Choice of Premium High-Beat Movements: The PX1697 is powered by either the PT5000 or the Swiss Sellita SW200. Both are high-frequency engines (28,800 VPH) that provide an incredibly smooth second-hand sweep and legendary reliability.
• - Exquisite White Enamel Dial: Unlike standard painted dials, the enamel finish provides a deep, milky luster that catches the light beautifully, serving as the perfect backdrop for the date window positioned at 6 o'clock for perfect symmetry.
• - GS-Level Handset Workmanship: The "Three-sided Cut" hands are polished to a mirror finish, ensuring maximum legibility and a premium look usually reserved for luxury watches costing thousands more.
• - Luminous Ceramic Bezel: The scratch-resistant ceramic bezel insert is fully treated with Swiss Super BGW9 Luminova, providing a brilliant blue glow that matches the hands and indices for superior low-light performance.
• - Professional 200M Water Resistance: Despite its sophisticated appearance, the PX1697 is a true "Diver." With a screw-down crown and a solid screw-down case back featuring the iconic "Manta Ray" logo, it is rated for 20 Bar (200 meters) of depth.
• - Bubble Sapphire Crystal: A high-clearance bubble sapphire crystal with AR (Anti-Reflective) coating ensures the dial is protected by the hardest material available while remaining visible from any angle.

Why the Proxima PX1697 Stands Out

The PX1697 is the "all-occasion" watch. Its 39mm diameter and 11.5mm thickness allow it to slide effortlessly under a suit cuff in Ontario boardrooms, while its 200m depth rating and sapphire construction mean it's ready for any weekend adventure. It is a high-spec tool watch disguised as a luxury dress piece.
