Our Submariner-style Seiko mods are dive-style watches built around a genuine Seiko NH35 automatic, wearing the classic dive-watch silhouette - rotating bezel, high-contrast dial and strong lume. Every one carries a sapphire crystal and a 2-year warranty, and is splash-resistant as standard, with Swim-Ready 5 ATM or Dive-Ready 10 ATM upgrades you can add at order time. Made to order, with free worldwide shipping. Made to be looked at twice.
The diver that started it all. The Seiko Submariner mod takes the most recognisable dive-watch shape and builds it on a dependable Japanese automatic movement with a sapphire crystal.
Built to order, with free worldwide shipping. Every part is named in the open, and the money goes into the watch. Not a copy. A choice.
Which Seiko Submariner mod should you buy?
Short answer: all eight Submariner-style builds run a genuine Seiko NH35 automatic in a case of about 40mm with sapphire crystal, at the same starting price, so choose by colour and by how much water you need. Standard builds are splash-resistant; Swim-Ready (5 ATM) and Dive-Ready (10 ATM) upgrades are available when you order.
Picking a colour
The Black is the classic. Blue and Black Blue (black dial, blue bezel) are the easy alternatives. Green fans choose between the Hulk and the Kermit (black dial, green bezel): see Hulk vs Kermit explained. The Gold Blue pairs a blue sunburst dial with a gold case and bracelet. Two Tone Black and Cookie Monster round out the range.
Every build is made to order, quality-checked and regulated before it ships, and carries a 2-year warranty with free worldwide shipping. Dive-Ready builds use a closed caseback. Sizes are approximate.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Submariner mod a real automatic?
Yes. Each one runs a genuine Seiko NH35 automatic. It is fully mechanical and self-winding, powered by the motion of your wrist.
Can I swim or dive with it?
Not as standard. Standard builds are splash-resistant: fine for rain, hand-washing and everyday wear, but not for swimming, showering or diving. To swim with it, add the Swim-Ready 5 ATM upgrade when you order. Submariner builds can also take the Dive-Ready 10 ATM upgrade with a closed caseback. Screw the crown down before any water.
Is this an original watch?
Yes. Every watch is an original Rosevari build: a genuine Japanese automatic movement in a case and dial style that pays homage to the classics. Every watch is sold openly as a Rosevari custom build, never as the genuine article, and we disclose every part we use.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
All eight Submariner-style builds start at the same price. Swim-Ready (5 ATM) and Dive-Ready (10 ATM) are optional upgrades. Every product page shows the current price in your local currency. Every build is made to order, in 1 to 2 weeks from order to dispatch, with free worldwide shipping and a 2-year warranty.
How big is the case?
About 40mm across. Sizes are approximate.
