Eska Amphibian 250 Owner Review : Versatile, stealthy and endearing

Today, I'd like to introduce you to the latest addition to my collection: the Eska Amphibian 250 White Shark. It's a true steel diver's watch, very well proportioned: 40 mm in diameter and 13.5 mm thick, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 46 mm. It houses a Sellita SW200 movement (38-hour power reserve) and lives up to its name: "Amphibian 250" directly refers to its 250-meter water resistance. This watch complements a collection already featured on the platform, which includes a Kurono Tokyo Grand Hagane (more of a dress watch) and an Atelier Wen Perception (YING) (more of a sports watch). This is clearly a tool watch designed for use. To be honest, it hasn't yet explored the ocean depths… but I wear it very often every day, precisely because it does the job perfectly: robust, legible, and incredibly versatile. I fitted it with a The Lodge strap (as seen in the photos), because the original tropical strap is unfortunately a bit too big for my wrist, and I don't really appreciate the comfort of NATO straps. Anyway, like many enthusiasts, you choose a watch first for its looks, then you customize it with the strap that suits you. What I particularly like about this White Shark: • The luminescence, which is really pronounced (much more so than on my Atelier Wen). • The precision and reliability of the Swiss movement, which are beyond question. • The white dial, quite rare on a dive watch at this price point, and a welcome change from classic black dials. • The reverse-curved bezel, which often intrigues and sparks questions when I wear it at watch events. As for the finish, for the price, it's frankly excellent: a beautiful alternation between brushed on the dial and polished on the case, with a solid screw-down case back. I also appreciate its slightly vintage feel: the sandwich dial, the oversized indices, and that nice detail on the seconds hand with the luminescent lollipop dot, which is super easy to spot in night vision. In short, an appealing diver's watch, well-designed and very wearable for everyday use, and an excellent surprise in this price range.
