Key Features
- Automatic Movement with Hack Feature: The self-winding mechanism powers the watch through natural wrist motion, eliminating the need for battery replacements. The hack feature allows the second hand to stop when the crown is pulled out, enabling precise time synchronization—a functional nod to its military roots.
- Blue Dial with High-Visibility Markers: The deep blue dial features white Super-Luminova® hands and markers that glow in low-light conditions, ensuring clear readability at night or in dim environments. A bold red second hand adds a distinctive accent and enhances visual contrast.
- Stainless Steel Case with Coin Edge Detail: Crafted from silver-tone stainless steel, the round case offers strength and resistance to daily wear. The detailed coin edge on the bezel adds a refined tactile and visual element, elevating the overall design.
- Brown Leather Strap with Buckle Closure: The brown leather strap provides a classic, rugged look that complements the watch’s field-inspired design. The buckle closure ensures a secure and adjustable fit for lasting comfort throughout the day.
- Domed Mineral Crystal: The domed crystal not only enhances the watch’s vintage appeal but also offers enhanced durability against scratches and impacts, helping maintain clarity and appearance over time.
- 50-Meter Water Resistance: Rated for water resistance up to 50 meters, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion—making it suitable for everyday activities like handwashing or light swimming, though not recommended for diving or snorkeling.
