caption: The NTH Santa Cruz oozes vintage watch appeal and boy were we excited when we pulled it out of its packaging. The first thing that immediately grabs your attention is the waffle-textured white dial. It is adorned with applied, almost button-like hour markers finished in vintage lume (which also glows surprisingly bright). Blue accents on the text and surrounding minute track perfectly complement the entire dial. If they say you gotta love the face of a watch since you stare at it everyday, we'd say we are smitten. Did we also mention that this is one of the slimmest 300m mechanical dive watches you can purchase regardless of brand? Sitting at 11.5mm thin, the NTH Subs series are the ultimate dress-diver combination--fitting under the most formal of suits yet boast performance when you need it.
