Key Features

• Vintage Military Dial Design: The watch face features bold numerals marked in five-minute increments up to 60, echoing the look of classic military field watches for a timeless, tactical appearance. The layout ensures quick readability at a glance, whether you’re checking the time during a morning hike or coordinating with teammates in low-light conditions.
• Chronograph Functionality: Three sub-dials track elapsed minutes, seconds, and 1/20 of a second, allowing precise timing for activities up to 30 minutes—perfect for workouts, hikes, or timed tasks. This feature is especially useful for runners, cyclists, or anyone needing to monitor intervals during training or outdoor activities.
• Quick Date Adjustment: Setting the date is fast and intuitive—simply pull the crown halfway out and turn to select the correct date, eliminating the need to cycle through hours manually. This streamlined process saves time and reduces frustration, particularly when adjusting after a month with fewer than 31 days.
• Indiglo Night-Light: Patented blue electroluminescent lighting evenly illuminates the entire dial for clear visibility in low-light conditions, using minimal battery power to extend overall battery life. A single press activates the glow, making it easy to check the time in the dark without draining the battery unnecessarily.
• Water Resistance to 330 Feet (100 Meters): Suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports, this watch resists splashes, rain, and submersion up to 100 meters, making it reliable in wet environments. While not designed for deep-sea diving, it handles surface water activities with ease, adding versatility to its outdoor-ready profile.
• Durable Leather Strap: The genuine leather strap offers comfort and resilience, aging naturally over time while maintaining a classic, rugged look that complements the watch’s field-ready design. Over time, the strap develops a unique patina, enhancing its character and personal connection to the wearer.
