It looks like the same crown and crown cover that are on the current Sea Hunter watches. I have one of those and it doesn't dig into my wrist. It touches my wrist but it doesn't cause any pain...at least not for me.
That crown is probably no more intrusive than the crown of the RD, for those that love RDs. I don't know the case size of this model but it seems to have some DNA of the Arsenal/Octane.
Thanks for the intel Steve
