Oceanus Manta S6000: A Luxury Blend of Aesthetics and Durability from Casio

Oceanus, Casio’s high-end sub-brand, sets a new standard in Japanese horology with the Manta S6000 collection. Engineered to offer an elevated user-friendly experience, this luxurious quartz watch offers class and durability in abundance.

The Manta OCWS6000SW2A boasts a unique and sleek design, measuring 42.5 mm x 9.2 mm - or more precisely, 41 mm without the crown guards. Its lightweight titanium construction contributes to the watch’s remarkably low weight, a mere 88 grams, while its short lug-to-lug adds to its comfortable fit. Seamlessly transitioning from formal to casual, the Manta S6000 offers the feel of a dress watch without compromising on strength and durability.

One of the standout features of the Manta S6000 is its one-of-a-kind sapphire crystal bezel, achieved through a special spiral-cutting technique coupled with a blue graduated ion-plating treatment. The outcome is an awe-inspiring rainbow of blue hues that enhance the blue gradient dial, offering a touch of quiet sophistication.

The watch’s resilient yet elegant design is further manifested in its bezel configuration. While unprotected sapphire crystal carries the risk of shattering, the Manta S6000’s bezel, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, only second to diamond, stands strong, making it more durable and essentially scratch-proof compared to steel or aluminium bezels.

Alongside the stunning aesthetics, the Manta S6000 also houses a powerful solar-powered quartz movement. Built to withstand the rigours of time and usage, the advanced Japanese quartz movement offers up to 18 months of operation after a full charge, even in total darkness. Embodying the functionality and reliability of a G-Shock, albeit with an extra dose of luxury, the Manta S6000 Limited Edition is an exceptional creation, setting a new benchmark for modern Japanese watchmaking.
