The Ocean Series GMT continues Cestrian’s philosophy of building dependable, purpose-driven watches designed for real-world use, combining robust dive-watch capability with the added practicality of a second time-zone function. Engineered as a true everyday sports watch, it balances durability, legibility, and versatility in a format that feels equally at home on land, in the water, or during travel.
At its core is the reliable NH34 automatic GMT movement, chosen for its proven performance and ease of service, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone with clarity and precision. The solid stainless-steel case is built to withstand daily wear and demanding conditions, supported by a screw-down crown, sapphire crystal, and 200 metres of water resistance, ensuring the watch remains ready for adventure without compromise.
The black sunray dial introduces a refined sense of depth, shifting subtly under changing light to reveal a radial brushed texture that enhances both legibility and visual presence. Applied nickel-plated hour markers add dimensionality against the deep black surface, while polished hands maintain a clean, purposeful aesthetic. Generous Swiss Super-LumiNova ensures strong low-light performance, with the contrasting luminous GMT hand providing clear secondary time-zone readability without disrupting the dial’s balanced, instrument-focused design.
Completing this version is a black Cestrian-branded silicone strap, finished with the Cestrian shield and engineered for durability, flexibility, and all-day comfort. Secured with a classic pin buckle for a dependable fit, it enhances the watch’s sport-driven character while offering lightweight practicality for travel, water use, and daily wear. Like every Ocean Series model, this piece is built with longevity and usability in mind — a capable, travel-ready dive watch that prioritises function, reliability, and honest value.

Legibility when light disappears.
Applied to the hands, indices, and key dial markers, Swiss Super-LumiNova® ensures the Ocean Series remains readable long after daylight fades. The glow is clean, even, and purposefully balanced — bright enough to perform, refined enough not to overwhelm.
Whether checking the time mid-flight, at night, or in low-light conditions, the Ocean Series stays clear and instantly legible when it matters most.
The term "Cestrian" is derived from the Latin name for Chester, "Deva Cestrianorum," and is typically used to refers to something or someone associated to the city of Chester in England. The brand originates in Chester and pays tribute to its roots. Chester is known for its rich heritage, stunning medieval architecture, and a vibrant atmosphere that seamlessly blends history with modern delights.
All Cestrian watches are proudly designed in the United Kingdom.
Currently all Cestrian watches are manufactured in China, through our close relationships with suppliers and manufacturers. China has become a global hub for watch production, offering a unique combination of high-quality manufacturing capabilities and cost efficiencies. Our decision to manufacture in China enables us to keep our production costs down without compromising on the quality of our watches.
Due to their mechanical nature, automatic watches have a tolerance. All Cestrian watches have a tolerance of -20 to +40 seconds a day thanks to their reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement.
In order to limit costs and keep prices low, Cestrian follows a direct to consumer model. Our focus is on building our relationship directly with our customers through our website. We also sell on Amazon, eBay and Chrono24 to offer added convenience to our customers. WatchNation is an official launch partner for Cestrian and is the only other Authorised Dealer.
No, all Cestrian watches exclusively utilise automatic movements. We firmly stand by the notion that the craftsmanship, mechanical ingenuity, reliability, and timeless allure of automatic watches surpass any other alternative. Battery-powered quartz watches do not align with our vision, and thus we remain committed to the excellence of automatic watches.
All Cestrian watches are fitted with automatic movements. The watch movement is wound and powered by the motion of your warm. If you wear your watch regularly and it receives enough movement, it will continue to run without needing to be wound.
