Chris Tran’s Clicky Bezel collection tour is a personal snapshot, not a current inventory: published by FashionBeans on March 5, 2025, it follows Tran’s watches from dive-watch favorites to more unusual picks and wishlist grails. Dive watches form a prominent part of the story, but the collection’s appeal is also in how he talks about feel, fit and strap choices.
What the Clicky Bezel collection tour covers
Tran, the founder of Clicky Bezel, organizes his collection across dive watches, time-only watches, chronographs, GMTs, quirky watches, digital watches, plastic watches, purchases made in Japan and special acquisitions. He also discusses watches on his wishlist. The result is a tour of one enthusiast’s tastes—not a standardized survey of watch models or a verified list of what he owns today.

That distinction matters because the article is dated. It records Tran’s collection and preferences as of its March 5, 2025 publication; it does not establish what he owns in October 2026. The Clicky Bezel storefront is a separate, live retail site, and its products and assortment can change.
Why dive watches are central to the story
Tran says a Citizen Eco-Drive diver began his interest in dive watches. His account then ranges across familiar and less conventional choices, from a Casio Duro to several Seiko and Vostok models and a Squale Corso Italiano. The point is not that these watches share one price, specification or use case; it is that they each have a place in his personal collecting story.
#1 Best Overall
- Stainless Steel case with Black Resin Band
- Black Dial with date window at 3 O'clock

The dive watches Tran names
- Citizen Eco-Drive diver, which Tran identifies as the start of his dive-watch interest.
- Seiko Turtle and Seiko SBDC053.
- Solar Tuna and first-generation Seiko Monster.
- Three Vostok Amphibia watches, with 090, 120 and 110 cases.
- Seiko 5 Rowing Blazers edition, noted for its colorful bezel.
- Casio Duro Marlin Edition.
- Squale Corso Italiano.
These names are useful starting points for readers who want to explore the styles in Tran’s collection. They are not a complete specification comparison: the tour does not provide a consistent set of case dimensions, water-resistance ratings, movement details, lug widths or prices for every watch.
What “clicky bezel” means in Tran’s account
For Tran, “clicky” describes a subjective impression of bezel action, not a formal technical grade. Discussing his first-generation Seiko Monster, he writes: “The bezel action is great. I mean, some people might call it cheap; I call it a clicky bezel.” The line captures the personal, tactile way the article evaluates a watch: an enthusiast’s reaction rather than a lab test or universal verdict.
Rank #2
- The waterproof level of this watch has reached 10 ATM waterproof, which can work normally at a depth of 100 meters (330ft) underwater. It is not only suitable for wearing in water activities such as swimming, diving, snorkeling, surfing, rowing, water skiing, but also suitable for wearing in daily life and outdoor sports, such as jogging, hiking, climbing, cycling, etc.
- The built-in stopwatch and timer function of the watch can meet the precise timing needs of exercise and sports competitions.
- The dual time zone display function will make your trips more convenient; 12/24 hour format display can meet the time reading habits of different people.
- Support multiple useful functions, such as: alarm clock, hourly chime, calendar and back light.
- The watch battery is replaceable. If you find that the watch is not working or the text on the display is not clear, please replace the watch battery in time.
His comments on other models are similarly specific to his experience. He says the Turtle wears well for him, though it feels somewhat top-heavy. He praises the Monster’s bezel action and describes the Squale Corso Italiano’s bezel as smooth and tactile. Those observations can help readers understand what caught his attention, but they cannot predict how a watch will fit or feel on another wrist.
Straps are part of the collection’s character
Tran describes wearing some watches on Artem sailcloth, NATO and silicone straps. Those pairings show how he styles and wears pieces, rather than establishing a single best strap for any model. Before choosing a replacement, check the watch’s lug width and whether the strap hardware fits the case and spring bars. Compatibility is model-specific; the collection account does not provide a complete lug-width list.
Rank #3

How to use the tour when comparing watches
The collection story is most useful as a guide to the questions an enthusiast might ask, not as a buying specification sheet. For a model you are considering, verify the details that affect your intended use and fit:
- Fit: Check case diameter and other dimensions against your wrist and preferences.
- Use: Decide whether you want a watch for everyday wear, timing, travel or another purpose; a category name alone does not determine suitability.
- Water resistance: Confirm the rating and relevant guidance in current manufacturer information rather than inferring it from a watch’s dive styling.
- Operation and feel: If bezel action matters to you, try the specific watch when possible. Tran’s descriptions are personal impressions.
- Movement and condition: Confirm the movement, service history and condition of the particular example, especially when buying pre-owned.
- Strap fit and price: Check lug width and hardware compatibility, then verify the current price and availability with the seller.
The tour does not establish current stock or prices for the watches it names. Clicky Bezel’s diver category is a changing retail assortment, not a live confirmation that every model in Tran’s personal account is available from the store.
Rank #4
- DIVER-INSPIRED DESIGN — Inspired by the sea, the MDV-106B is styled after classic dive watches and delivers 200-meter water resistance at an unbeatable price point. The black resin band and stainless steel case give it a classic look, while the anti-reverse rotary bezel adds authentic dive-watch character.
- STAINLESS STEEL CASE WITH SCREW-LOCK CROWN & CASEBACK — The MDV-106B features a stainless steel case and a reliable screw-lock crown for enhanced water resistance protection. Screw-down crown and screw-lock caseback work together to keep the movement sealed and secure during water activities — a construction standard found on dive watches far above this price range.
- LARGE FLUORESCENT HANDS & INDICES FOR INSTANT READABILITY — The dial features hands and hour indices with large fluorescent areas for easy reading in low-light and underwater conditions. The clean 3-hand analog layout with date display at 3 o'clock keeps the dial uncluttered and immediately legible at a glance.
- 44MM STAINLESS STEEL CASE | 22MM LUG WIDTH | MINERAL GLASS — The case measures 44mm in diameter, 12mm in height, with a 49mm lug-to-lug length and a standard 22mm lug width — making strap upgrades effortless with a vast range of aftermarket options. Mineral glass protects the dial from everyday scratches and impacts.
- 3-YEAR BATTERY & 200M WATER RESISTANCE — Powered by an SR626SW battery with an approximate 3-year life, the case measures 49.5 × 46.3 × 12.1mm and weighs 92 grams. At 200 meters of water resistance, the Duro is versatile and suitable for all situations — whether in the water, hiking, running, or at the office.
A disclosure about the Squale
Tran’s article discloses that the Squale Corso Italiano was provided in exchange for a review. That context belongs alongside his favorable description of its bezel: it lets readers distinguish a disclosed review sample from the rest of the personal collection account.

Where the grails fit
“Grails” in the title points to the aspirational side of the collection tour, including wishlist watches. The article’s format moves beyond a list of owned pieces to show how collectors balance watches they have with watches they hope to acquire. A wishlist entry is not evidence of ownership, and the account does not establish that every desired watch was later purchased.
Best Value
- Iconic Promaster watches with advanced functions designed to venture to the deepest depths.
- 3 Hand, Date
- Silver-Tone Stainless Steel
- Luminous Hands and Markers and Mineral Crystal
- Sustainably powered by any light, with our Eco-Drive technology this watch never needs a battery. ISO Certified, 200M Water Resistant and 5 Year Limited Warranty
For readers, that makes the tour a useful view into one collector’s priorities rather than a ranking of the best dive watches or a guide to what is currently for sale. Its enduring value is the variety of watches Tran discusses and the personal details—such as fit, bezel feel and strap choices—that a spec sheet alone would miss.
