Watchdives EXD-38 38mm Titanium VH31 Dive Watch
Bezel Version Notice
The blue version currently uses a countdown bezel. The black-bezel version uses a count-up bezel and includes EXD text on the dial. Bezel configuration may vary by color and production batch.
EXD 38mm V2
We’ve upgraded the bezel to 60 clicks. The rotation now has stronger resistance and a louder click than V1
For BGW9-lume versions, we’ve improved the appearance of the 3D BGW9 markers.
On these BGW9 versions, the lume blocks are directly molded with transparent resin, resulting in a more even and cleaner structure, with a crisp 3D profile.
On V1, we applied additional lume printing on top of the molded blocks, which added thickness but could slightly alter the shape.
So:
V1 lume brightness: slightly stronger due to extra layers
V2 lume aesthetics: noticeably more refined and smooth, while retaining good lume performance.
Both BGW9 generations deliver excellent lume performance — V2 simply looks better crafted.
