Seals Watch Co. Dark Seal Fixed Bezel Watch Review
Seals Watch Co. rumbled onto the microbrand scene back in 2015 with the Model A and Model C - field watches that took design inspiration from military tanks of the 1940s. That was a welcome move from a young microbrand, charging into the fray with a unique, untested design. In its third major release, Seals forgoes the vintage military inspiration with a more accessible and easily wearable modern sport watch: the Dark Seal. The model name is neither eponymous nor a nod toward the elite Naval force (or a certain masked avenger). Rather, the Dark Seal is named after a large harbor seal on Catalina Island, California, whom the brand's founder befriended with regular offerings of frozen fish. Those free lunches were repaid handsomely when a massive shark began trailing Michael Seals’ skiff, forcing him to make a frantic run for the coastline. The dark seal appeared, drawing the shark's attention and luring it away from the skiff, saving Seals from an apparently imminent shark attack.

Today, I review a two-tone steel and 18k rose gold Patravi ScubaTec with a bright blue dial that is the reference 00.10632.24.53.21.When the Patravi ScubaTec was first released, the luxury watch landscape was vastly different from today - and accordingly, Carl F. Bucherer was much less on the minds of timepiece collectors. Today,
