Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Tandorio NH36 watch truly waterproof to 200 metres?
A: Yes. This military field watch is rated to 200 metres (20 Bar) water resistance, with a screw-down crown to seal the case. It is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, it is not designed for professional saturation diving or high-pressure water sports.
Q: What is the NH36 automatic movement and does the watch need a battery?
A: The Seiko NH36 is a Japanese-origin automatic mechanical movement — it requires no battery. It winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. It can also be hand-wound via the crown, and features a convenient day and date complication.
Q: Is the sapphire crystal glass scratch-resistant?
A: Yes. Sapphire crystal is the hardest watch glass material widely used, rating 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is highly resistant to everyday scratches from keys, surfaces, and general wear — making it a premium choice over mineral or acrylic glass.
Q: Can I customise the logo on this watch?
A: Yes! This Tandorio model supports custom logo engraving or branding. Please contact us before placing your order to confirm logo specifications, placement, and turnaround time.
Q: What strap does the watch come with, and can it be changed?
A: The watch comes fitted with a 20mm black nylon strap with a pin buckle — a classic military-style choice. The standard 20mm lug width means you can easily swap it for any aftermarket 20mm strap, including leather, rubber, or different NATO styles.
