I’ve taken note of your comments on the bracelet edges and crown. Regarding changing to the rubber strap, I completely agree it could be easier. Creating an interchangeable strap system with an integrated bracelet is quite challenging, and this was our first go at it. It works, but there is definitely room for us to improve the system on future versions. That’s exactly why feedback like yours is so useful to me. Thank you again for taking the time! Christo
Absolutely love this piece, been wearing it constantly....no other part of my collection gets a look in! That dial......
Store owner replied:
Love hearing this! 😊 When the rest of the collection stops getting wrist time, I know we’ve done something right! And yes... that dial 😍
Thank you so much for your support! Christo
Love this time piece If you are looking for an affordable quality watch then the Elemental oceanic blue is a well worth considering pictures don't do it justice
Made to order but worth the wait , Christo and the team keep you informed throughout the process and you won't be dissapointed when it arrives .
I would have liked the option to choose a different strap on order as I'm not a fan of steel bracelets but that's just my preference
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! Really happy to hear the Oceanic Blue was worth the wait and even better in person 😊 And yes we do offer the strap choice npw part of the Made-to-Order process. Enjoy the watch! Christo
The watch is beautiful and impeccably crafted. It has a luxurious, high-end feel. The bracelet is unique and sits comfortably on the wrist; the build quality is excellent. For now, it runs a bit fast—about 18 seconds a day—but I hope that will settle down. I can recommend this watch.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! Really happy you appreciate the quality and feel of the watch, and especially the bracelet 😊 +18 sec/day is still within the SW200 tolerance, but hopefully it settles a little with wear. Thank you for your recommendation and enjoy your Elemental! Christo
Store owner replied:
Thanks for the support Todd! Yes, love that dial! Makes me happy each time I look at it, Christo
Stunning looking watch! Had to remove several links in the band which was an easy process. I have worn it on several occasions and people have commented on what a good looking watch it is. This is my second Bausele purchase - that's how happy I was with the first watch (US Army).
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Alan! I love hearing that people are noticing it on your wrist 😊 And coming back for a second Bausele after your US Army watch is probably the best compliment you can give us. Thank you for your continued support! Christo
A hidden gem in the world of watches. The turquoise textured dial comes alive in the sunlight, reflecting the ocean just as beautifully as the sea behind it. Exceptional finishing, superb wrist presence, and incredible design make this one of the most enjoyable watches I've worn this year. 🌊⌚✨
"Some watches tell time. The best ones tell a story."
Thank you Christo
Store owner replied:
WOW!!! Thank you SO much for the incredible kind words. Thank you for your support!!! Christo
t was love at first sight when I found that first photo, and after the impatient wait, it is nothing but joy and happiness.
Everything about the Elmental is just right: the design of its shape and color, the exceptionally high-quality strap, and—thanks to the Sellita movement—its inner workings as well.
Simply a beautiful diver with that certain touch of style and luxury.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I love hearing that the wait was worth it and that you’re enjoying the Elemental as much as we enjoyed creating it. Really appreciate your patience and support! Christo
Montre magnifique avec ce cadran magique qui change de couleur au grès des rayons du soleil ....
La qualité et les finitions pour un prix très bien positionné c'est un plaisir au poignet !
L'eau lui va si bien à Sydney ou pour un week-end Bordelais !
Bravo à vous pour cette réussite.

Mais que ca fait plaisir de lire cela! Un enorme MERCI pour votre soutien!!! Christo
I think you have done really well. It's great! The overall style is really nice. The integrated bracelet is excellent. Link removal was very easy. The clasp is crisp, snappy and robust. The micro adjust works well. If I had one minor criticism, it would be the the clasp is a little bulky. That said, it doesn't really bother me once on the wrist. The watch itself is really nice. The dial really has met expectations and the markers and hands work nicely with it. The small text above 6 is almost invisible, so I wonder if it's worth having. I know the cyclops divides people but I'm fine with it, although I would prefer the external style l. I have a TAG Aquaracer with the in-built magnifier and like the Elemental I find it creates shadow and reflection that you don't get as much on the externally positioned cyclops. Bezel action is crisp, accurate and legible. I'm more comfortable with the crown now that I've had a xhance to play with it. The case is really nice. The balance of brushing and polishing is spot on and the integration into the bracelet is excellent. It is very comfortable on the wrist.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I'm delighted to hear how much you're enjoying the watch, especially the dial, bracelet, clasp and overall comfort. We spent countless hours refining those details, so it's incredibly rewarding to read feedback like yours. I also appreciate your comments on the clasp, cyclops and dial text. Feedback like this helps shape future Bausele watches. Enjoy wearing it, and thank you again for your support! Christo
This is my second Bausele watch. For the price it is an amazing watch. The strap and clasp are of a very high quality. I love the watch came with the device to adjust the size. The face of the watch is really striking and this has been a very welcome addition to my collection. At this price point I really do no think there is any competition. Also had the pleasure of meeting Christo in person when I purchased my first watch and knowing his passion and dedication to the brand I am only to happy to be a proud supporter of this brand.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting Bausele with a second watch, it really means a lot. It was also a real pleasure meeting you in person. Thank you for your continued trust and support. Customers like you are the reason Bausele exists. Christo
Hello, team! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this—I ordered it in November and received it at the end of June—but just like a child eagerly awaiting Christmas, I finally got it, and I’m thrilled! Thanks again :-)
P.S.: When will more bracelets be available?
Thank you all!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your patience and for your wonderful review! Reading your message made me smile. I know it was a long wait, but I'm delighted to hear it felt like Christmas when you finally opened the box. Regarding the straps, they're now available on our website: https://www.bausele.com/collections/straps-elemental. I hope you find one you like to give your Elemental a completely different look. Thank you again for your support! Christo
The watch is well-designed and very well finished; it fits my 7.25-inch wrist well. On the Timegrapher, it has the usual positional differences associated with a standard grade Sellita SW200; however, using the positional information, I am able to rest the watch overnight in a position to compensate for it running fast or slow and am able to maintain accuracy this way to within 5-7 seconds per day, not bad! My only areas for improvement include the fact that it is a bit too heavy feeling on the bracelet, and the use of a nonstandard lug width precludes switching to a standard strap, which is what I generally do when a bracelet adds weight to my wrist. From looking at their website, it appears a rubber strap may be in the works. Overall, I recommend this watch without hesitation, but I look forward to a strap option.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your detailed review! I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying the watch. Your SW200 is clearly performing above its ±20 seconds/day specification, which is great to see. And good news, the rubber and leather straps are now available on our website if you'd like to give the watch a lighter feel. Thank you again for your support! Christo
Loving the look and feel of the Elemental
Such a talking point when people see it on the wrist
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying it. Enjoy wearing your Elemental, and thank you again for your support! Christo
An extraordinary piece to hold time, not just a watch. What trully stands out is that every feature, every detail, has been developed by asking/working alogside customers.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for these wonderful words. That was exactly our goal, to create more than just a watch, but a timepiece designed with enthusiasts, not just for them. And I believe you're one of only a handful of Bausele owners in Romania, so it's a truly unique piece there! Thank you for being part of the journey. Christo
Cette montre est magnifique, son design est original et elle est résistante, pas de crainte de l'utiliser au quotidien. La protection contre le magnétisme est un plus actuellement. Pas encore testée sur le long terme mais lors mon usage actuel elle a tenu ses promesses de résistance.
Son rapport qualité prix est exceptionnel pour toutes les caractéristiques qu'elle propose, même en comptant les frais de douane pour la France.
Ses finitions qui alternent poli et brossé lui donnent un aspect très "premuim". J'aime beaucoup la boucle signée en finition poli brossé également.
J'aime particulièrement son cadran qui joue avec la lumière et son bracelet à la fois original, très esthétique et moderne.
Sa lisibilité de jour comme de nuit est exceptionnelle, critère essentiel pour moi. La luminescence est parfaite et tient très bien dans le temps, suffisamment pour une nuit complète.
La sable dans la couronne lui donne un charme supplémentaire.
Le mouvement est précis, mon exemplaire est à environ +4 secondes par jour.
La date est très bien intégrée, très important également pour moi quand elle est présente. Je suis fan des guichets date ronds, hélas rares habituellement.
Elle paraît épaisse à la sortie de boite mais pas du tout au porté, la sensation au porté est parfaite pour moi.
En raison de son bracelet intégré métallique j'ai le sentiment qu'elle nécessite un poignet large ou moyen mais non testée sur un poignet fin. Avec le mien de 18 cm elle est parfaite.
Les micro réglages sans outil du bracelet sont vraiment appréciables en période estivale.
J'ai hâte de pouvoir l'utiliser sur un bracelet cuir ou caoutchouc, le rendu en images paraît vraiment beau, en complément de l'acier.
Store owner replied:
Un immense merci pour ce retour si détaillé. Lire que vous avez remarqué tous ces petits détails sur lesquels nous avons passé tant de temps est la plus belle des récompenses. Nous avons conçu l'Elemental pour être une montre du quotidien, robuste, fiable et avec une vraie personnalité.
Profitez-en pleinement, et merci encore pour votre confiance et votre soutien !

Beautiful watch. Sits well on my wrist. I also have a larger wrist size and the band more than covered my wrist. Wearing the watch I have received quite a few compliments.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm delighted to hear it fits your wrist so well. And getting compliments is always a nice bonus! Enjoy wearing it, and thank you again for your support. Christo
It wears well. Bracelet feels nice and watch height not too thick. So far so good. Very happy with my purchase just wished it would have arrived when it should 6 weeks ago.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm really pleased to hear you're happy with the fit and that the bracelet and thickness are exactly as intended. And yes, I'm sorry again about the delay, it (our suppliers...) took much longer than it should have. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the watch for many (hundreds:) years to come. Christo
great Watch. Very Nice finishings, amazing and gorgeous dial. I love it
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you're enjoying it. We put so much care into the finishing and the dial, so it's wonderful to hear those details stood out. Enjoy your watch! Christo
Hello it’s beautifull watch and really great product I love it

Thank you so much! That's exactly what we hoped for, that the watch grows on you every day. Enjoy every moment with your Bausele, and thank you for your support! Christo
Sehr tolle Uhr.Sie trägt sich toll.Der Sand in der Krone ist eine coole Innovation. Besonders in der Sonne macht dieses Modell mit der grünen Farbe einen tollen Eindruck. Eine der schönsten Uhren die ich habe.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm delighted to hear it's one of the most beautiful watches in your collection. I'm especially pleased that you're enjoying the sand in the crown and how the green dial comes alive in the sun. Enjoy your watch, and thank you for your support! Christo

WOW!!! That’s either a strike or a hat-trick!!! 🎯⚽
THANK YOU so much for your incredible support, it truly means a lot! Christo
From the BATHURST 2026 12h to 24h of Spa Francorchamps. Arrived on time for the race, love this piece of arts and it's fire design !!! Thank you for the creation. Laurent from Belgium
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Laurent! It means a lot to hear that, especially from a fellow motorsport enthusiast. I'm delighted it made it in time for Spa and that you're enjoying it. Wear it in good health, and thank you for your support all the way from Belgium! 🇧🇪🏁😊
Worth the wait! Love the Oceanic Blue. The face is a work of art. Very legible and the perfect size. My more expensive watches are now in the safe. I’ve been wearing the Elemental since I received it by DHL. The band is very comfortable and the weight is not noticeable. The SW 200 has been keeping excellent time. It’s settled to about + 4 seconds a day which is awesome. Only difficult part is deciding whether to wear the Bathurst 12 edition or my gorgeous Elemental. I’m kinda partial to the Blue 🩵
Wonderful company and a huge thanks to Bausele for such amazing watches. #pieceofAustralia
Store owner replied:
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Reading messages like yours makes all the hard work, and even the long wait, worthwhile.
I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Oceanic Blue. We spent countless hours perfecting that dial, so hearing you describe it as "a work of art" means a lot. I'm also glad the SW200 has settled in so nicely at +4 seconds a day, that's pretty good.
And having to choose between the Bathurst 12 Hour and the Elemental... that's a great problem to have! 😊
Thank you again for your trust and support over the years. Enjoy wearing your little piece of Australia.
Christo
Eine großartige Uhr.Die Farbe ist echt toll. Der Sand in der Krone ist eine tolle Innovation.
Store owner replied:
Vielen Dank! Es freut mich sehr, dass sie Ihnen gefällt. Der Sand in der Krone ist das Herzstück von Bausele: ein kleines Stück Australien an jedem Handgelenk. Viel Freude mit Ihrer Uhr!
Christo
Wearing this watch is a sheer pleasure. Despite its weight, I don't feel it on my wrist at all. The bracelet is also a real success.
Just one remark: I would have liked a second rubber-style strap so I could switch them out whenever I felt like it.
Store owner replied:
Thank you very much Gilles for your support! We are actually releasing some strap options during next made to order window (15-29 July): a black leather and rubber + blue rubber 👍🏼
Store owner replied:
Thank you SO much for your support!!! It is thanks to people like you that I can live my dream of developping a quality watch brand from Australia. Do you have a picture of the watch on the wrist to see how it looks on you to add to the review by chance? Thank you again, Christo

1. My watch’s accuracy is 5–6 seconds per day, which is a solid result compared to my COSC-certified watches (10–12 seconds per day).
2. The bracelet clasp’s micro-adjustment works excellently.
3. The crown’s locked position loosens slightly after three days of wear (shifting by about 20 degrees from the final position).
4. Adjusting the bracelet length is very easy using the included tool—a great idea.
5. The bezel’s texture reminds me of the bottom of my favorite local swimming pool, which I really like.
6. I was pleasantly surprised by the case back design—a cool, flat insert that feels good to the touch.
7. I like heavy watches, so I’m not disappointed at all.
8. The Bausele logo on the bezel is hard to read; it needs more contrast.
9. My overall impression after three weeks of use is very positive, and I believe this design concept is a great starting point for further development.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review! 5–6 seconds/day is a great result! I’m also really happy you appreciate the micro-adjust, sizing tool and caseback, lots of little details we spent a lot of time on. And thank you for the constructive feedback on the crown and logo contrast, I’m taking note for future developments. Also the watch weight goes down to 100 grams with the rubber/leather option, just FYI for the future if your arm gets too muscly and you are ready for a change. Enjoy your Elemental!
The marketing for this watch was phenomenal. The journey and aura created were spot on....enough to get my purchase.
The dial and case in whole, I am very pleased with the aesthetics. This portion of the watch aligned with the expectations built up during the marketing campaign.
My experience with the bracelet is TERRIBLE. The slip pin design just felt cheap when resizing. Screws for the link segments would have been much more fitting to attention given towards the rest of the watch. The worst issue is the clasp does not close properly most of the time. One side of the clasp does not fasten on the first close and requires forcing engagement. The bracelet quick-exchange system feels 'gritty' with the spring bars not engaging unless assisted with physical forces to seat the pin in the watch case. This makes me quite nervous since this is the safety attachment of the bracelet OR straps to the case. No one wants to be swimming, snorkeling, diving, and the watch break loose from the wrist being lost to the depths.
Aside from that, was surprised that this 'Swiss Australian' watch was shipped directly from Hong Kong. This just made the overall experience feel like you invest in a timepiece designed in Australia, with Swiss assembly, to only receive a possible cheap watch from China. Even if not the case, this is the impression it leaves with Hong Kong as a departure point or even just a shipping partner.
Store owner replied:
Thank you James for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and for the kind words about the design and the story behind the watch. I emailed you directly after seeing your review as what you describe with the clasp and quick-release system is definitely not how it should operate. I haven’t heard back yet, but the offer remains, please send me a short video and I will personally make sure we understand the issue and get it sorted for you. I also completely understand your comment regarding the Hong Kong shipping. Bausele is proudly Australian, with Swiss watchmaking at its heart, but like most watch brands we work with specialist manufacturing and logistics partners in different parts of the world. Hong Kong is one of those partners and some international orders are dispatched from there.
Thank you again for the honest feedback, James. Please get back to me so we can sort out the bracelet issue. Christo
Just received this very attractive watch. Well wrapped and no damage despite its long journey, and well worth the production wait time. Looks as good as the Bausele site justifiably promotes it-great design- and finishing seems very high quality. Bracelet stiffer than most watches but very comfortable and clasp has fast adjustment which works well. Happily, runs +6 to 8 seconds/day on my watch timegrapher (way better than my Bausele Cooranga Mist which still posts+18-20 sec/day despite longer use and regular storage in a watchwinder when off my wrist-somewhat disappointing, at the very upper margins of SW200 accuracy).
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the detailed review! Really happy to hear the wait was worth it and that you’re enjoying the design and finishing. +6 to 8 sec/day is a great result 😊 Regarding your Coorong Mist, +18–20 is indeed within the SW200 tolerance but I understand the disappointment compared to this one. Thank you again for your support and for owning two Bausele! I am very grateful! Christo
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your kind words and support Kevin, Christo
Watch is great. I have some inconsistent gaps in the bracelet but that might just be the pins. The dial is gorgeous but a bit dull compared to the pictures and the orange Bathurst dial, maybe the saturation of the image is high?
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback! Really happy you’re enjoying the watch and that gorgeous dial 😊 Please keep an eye on the bracelet gaps and feel free to send me a photo if anything doesn’t look right. Regarding the dial colour, photography and lighting can definitely make colours appear more saturated than they do in natural light. Thank you again and enjoy it! Christo
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! 😊 Love hearing that it was worth the wait. Enjoy your Bausele! Christo
So me and this watch have a love-hate relationship. On the previous order drop there was several issues with the ordering and getting of the watch as well as promises that were made by the company. So starting off with the negative, the movement is not calibrated correctly and it switches over to the next day before it even hits midnight the night before. On the positive bracelet is fantastic fit and fantastic micro adjust is very clean and easy to use. The dial itself is stunning. I just wish a better movement was used.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Shawn for the honest review. I’m really happy you love the dial, bracelet and micro-adjust, but obviously I’d rather have a love-love relationship! 😊 The Sellita SW200 is a very reliable Swiss automatic movement, so what you’re describing with the date change is something I’d like to look at. Please contact me directly and we’ll see what’s happening and get it sorted. Thank you again for the feedback and your support. Christo
Well the first thing to say is it looks so much better in real life.... quite unique and a nice addition.... early days but really enjoying it to date !
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much! I'm delighted to hear it exceeded your expectations in person. We spent countless hours on the details, so hearing that it looks even better in real life means a lot. Enjoy wearing your unique piece, and thank you again for your support! Christo
