Master Series v3

I had seen the new Master Series and thought it looked lovely. An automatic, no date 'GADA' watch.
Once ordered, delivery was very quick, and my new watch (blue dial) arrived in perfect condition.
As an aside, it was nice to see that the packaging had been upgraded from a cardboard box to a proper, hinged box.
The watch itself (to go with my green Field Series), is beautiful. I'm very pleased with it. It keeps excellent time, wears very well, was easy to size (I removed 2 links very quickly) and will be with me for a very long time.
Thanks again Cestrian!

Really pleased to hear the Master Series V3 has landed so well, and great to know the blue dial, fit and overall wearing experience are all hitting the mark.

Also appreciate you noticing the updated packaging, we’re always trying to improve the details where we can.

Almost Hits The Mark

Purchase and delivery were smooth as silk. Excellent communication regarding shipping and estimated delivery date.

The watch is nicely made. It's an obvious catalog case that is pretty ubiquitous, but the finish is top notch.

I chose the silver white face, which is far more interesting than in the photos. It changes from white to silver, depending on the light. It's reflective and radiant at same time. The indices are very reflective, giving some bling to the look which may be a plus or minus depending on your taste. Overall, the appearance is excellent for the price.

The movement is another story. I didn't win the SII/Seiko lottery, as it runs -26.4 seconds. This movement obviously lacks proper adjustment and regulation from the factory. This is where Cestrian cheaped out to meet a price point. For God's sake, please use Miyota's excellent GMT movement even if you have to increase the price accordingly.

The bracelet is OK and reflects building to the price point. I replaced it with a high quality orange rubber strap. It looks terrific playing off the orange GMT and seconds hands. Cestrian would be wise to offer more color options for rubber straps, rather than a single black one.

Final verdict: I can't live with minus 26 seconds per 24 hours. Coupled with a somewhat wonky crown/stem this watch won't make it into regular rotation and will spend most time in a watch case.

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback Chottobaka.

Really pleased to hear the ordering experience, communication, case finishing and dial execution all landed well.

On the movement point, our calibres are supplied as manufactured and regulated, and like all mechanical movements there is a natural tolerance range that can vary unit to unit. We did carefully consider alternatives like Miyota during development, but at this entry-level positioning the cost difference would have added a significant uplift, and we made a deliberate decision to keep value at the forefront. That said, it’s absolutely something we continue to evaluate across future collections as the brand evolves.

We also appreciate the broader notes on bracelet options, it's something we're looking to really open up in 2027.

So much bang for buck

So much bang for buck. The GMT is spot on. Strong lume. Comfortable bracelet with quick adjust. Sized bracelet for me. Will definitely consider adding another Cestrian to my collection in the future.

Great to hear the GMT has landed so well — especially the lume, bracelet and quick adjust system. Always good when the whole package comes together properly.

And very glad to hear another Cestrian may find its way into the collection in future.

A lot of bang for your buck

First off I'll say I like watches, I'm usually on a budget and I probably have far too many. What I didn't have was a watch with a white dial. After looking for a good while I saw Cestrian advertising on Facebook, saw the Pro Dive, saw the features and saw the price. Then ordered it without hesitation. Let's say the watch or the service didn't disappoint. The dial is lovely, great lume, the finish is great and features like a quick release on the fly adjustable strap are something you'd normally find on a much more expensive piece. There were a few concerns I had about the screw down crown and case back not being right but Cestrian provided a returns label and had the watch back to me in just over a week so I can't quibble about the customer service. I shouldn't but I will be buying more from Cestrian in the future and look forward to any new designs!

Lovely looking watch

Lovely looking watch. Looks and feels more expensive than the money paid. Would have been 5 stars if not for dry rubbing noise from the mechanism when putting watch to my ear.

I purchased a Cestrain Ocean GMT - Very Happy

I purchased a Cestrain Ocean GMT with a Green Fume Dial (must have been popular as I had the last one apparently) and it is simply stunning. The quality is outstanding and as good as, if not better, than a few equivalent Seiko's I've owned at three times the price.
Superb service from Watch Nation as well as I saw the same watch immediately after ordering direct from them £25 cheaper on Amazon and Watch Nation immediately refunded me the difference. You can't do fairer than that.
VERY HAPPY WITH MY WATCH AND WATCH NATION.

Amazing quality at a very good price

Very honest when I asked for updates on when the watch would be delivered. But I would say that it could have been better if Cestrian had proactively told me that the watch was a bit delayed.
The quality of the watch is absolutely unbelievable, especially at that price. I can't believe the "extras" you can get vs other, bigger, brands.
Excellent watch and excellent service.

Good experience

Good experience, prompt reply to a query I raised before the delivery of the watch as it was on Pre-Order.
Didn’t really follow up to advise when the watch would be coming but I didn’t see that as an issue.
Watch was received, well packaged and I’ve left a separate review.
Doesn’t appear to be a manual for the watch in their user guides, which would be useful.
Happy with the watch and Cestrian.
