I know it is just a case back and 99% of the time you won’t see it as the watch will sit in your watch box or on your wrist, but I think every detail is important. The screw in exhibition case back has no detailing surrounding the window and I actually like that they went with the simple look, in my opinion, companies now are printing too much stuff on the case back, but not thinking how it looks. At 3 o’clock you will find the push-pull crown which has the logo embossed on the end and is easy to use thanks to the reasonable size and effective grip.

That just shows that not everything made in Asia is bad, there are some really good companies that come from there, just like watches that are made in Switzerland, they have really good ones and also not so good watches coming from there. And I got to say, the quality is something that you would expect from a watch that costs 2-3 time more. They are making stainless steel/bronze watches and also pilots watch for really cheap prices. Aquatico is based in HongKong and was founded by Calvin.
