The chain attached to the dial feels as though the mask of the face is closed air tight and pinned securely. The [full glass face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-seamaster-diver-300m) lets the wearer see right into the delicate mechanism that is its watch. When you open up the window on the back of the watch you can see the elaborate [17-jewel masterpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-super-sea-wolf-compression-diver) that makes up a watch.
