These design elements pay homage to the utilitarian timepieces trusted by service members in the past, now reimagined for modern daily wear.

This watch is designed for daily wear and light outdoor use but is not suitable for deep-water activities or high-impact sports. Prolonged exposure to water, extreme temperatures, or heavy physical stress may compromise its performance. To maintain optimal function, it’s recommended to wear the watch regularly or manually wind it if not used daily, ensuring the 42-hour power reserve remains active.
