Luminox Scott Cassell Deep Dive 1550 Series: Malaysia Price And Review

Leong Wong 16 November 2018

A hardy and affordable dive watch.

For those who are not familiar, Scott Cassell is as legit a diving legend as it gets – he is an ex-Special Ops military man-turned-celebrated ocean conservationist. (You can learn more about him here.) And that’s why it’s pretty significant that Luminox has decided to tag the man to this special collection of dive watches, which promises professional-grade, field-ready performance.

The Steve Cassell Deep Dive 1550 series boasts all the essential features that would make you feel extra confident for your next dive, bolstered by the fact that Cassell himself played a part designing it.

The watch is housed in Luminox’s proprietary material called Carbonox, a carbon-based material that is lighter than steel and titanium. Despite being lightweight, Carbonox is said to be super tough, while hypoallergenic at the same time.

This exclusive material sets the tone for the rest of the watch. Dive readiness is ensured with 300m water resistance, unidirectional rotating bezel to calculate remaining dive time, and a special crown locking system to prevent accidental adjustments to the watch. Of course, there is also Luminox’s signature light technology, offering unparalleled luminescence by way of tritium gas tubes on the indexes and hands that glow for up to 25 years.

The dial comes three colours and four variants– black with yellow accents; navy with yellow accents; sunburst green with white accents; and black with white accents – so even with all that hardcore sportiness and tool watch vibe you get pretty interesting style options. And you get to do good too. With each purchase of the Steve Cassell Deep Dive 1550 series, some proceeds go to the man’s non-profit organisation, Sea Wolf Unlimited, which collects evidence of poachers who endanger marine lives.
