Henry Jay Technical specifications
I like to start things off with a quick look at some of the technical specifications with any watch that I review. This gives you the opportunity to see if you like this style of watch from the get-go. For example, some people wouldn’t want to go for a very large watch.
- Model Number: HJ2001
- Crystal Material: Mineral crystal
- Case Diameter: 40mm
- Case Thickness: 13mm
- Movement: Quartz
- Water Resistance: 100m
- Strap Material: Stainless steel
Henry Jay Dial and Casing Design
First thing you notice about the Henry Jay Aquamaster is how much the dial stands out on your wrist. The blue of the bezel and dial works beautifully we the PVD gold detailing and the two tone coloured strap.
The dial features bold hands and hour markers that are coated with lume for better visibility in dim lit conditions. There’s also a useful date display located at the 3 o’clock position which can always come in handy.
The casing of this timepiece is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 13mm. A unidirectional ratcheting bezel sits on top with a gold tone finish and coin edged detailing.
Strap & Clasp
The strap on this timepiece is made of stainless steel with a PVD gold plated two tone finish to it. It fastens with a deployment style clasp that happens to be one of my favourites.
The Henry Jay HJ2001 Movement
Powering this Henry Jay timepiece is a quartz movement. These are accurate and reliable movements that are often very affordable. It’s basic but does the trick to be fair, and requires very little maintenance.
Henry Jay HJ2001 Crystal
Protecting the front of the watch is a mineral crystal glass lens. This is a specially hardened glass that offers you a good level of scratch and shatter resistance. Again, this is commonly found in many affordable watches.
