Key Features
- Swiss Tritium H3 Illumination: Each hour marker and hand is equipped with tritium gas tubes that emit a consistent glow for up to 20 years. Unlike traditional luminous coatings that fade, tritium requires no light exposure and remains visible in complete darkness—making it essential for night operations, cave exploration, or emergency situations.
- 20ATM Waterproof Rating: With a depth rating of 200 meters (660 feet), this watch is suitable for recreational scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, and water sports. The screw-down crown ensures a secure seal, maintaining water resistance even during prolonged submersion.
- Titanium Case and Rubber Strap: Titanium offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, resisting corrosion from saltwater, sweat, and chemicals. The rubber strap provides a secure, comfortable fit during physical activity and adapts well to wet or rugged conditions.
- Rotating Bezel for Elapsed Time Tracking: The unidirectional rotating bezel allows users to monitor elapsed time with precision—critical for dive safety or timed tactical maneuvers. Its tactile design enables easy adjustment even with gloves.
- Scratch-Resistant Hardened Glass: The dial is protected by hardened glass designed to resist scratches from sand, debris, and daily wear, preserving clarity and legibility over time.
- Shock-Resistant Body: Built to endure impacts, drops, and vibrations, the watch maintains functionality in demanding environments such as field operations, hiking, or industrial use.
- Precision Quartz Movement with Swiss Components: Powered by reliable quartz movement with Swiss-engineered internal parts, the watch delivers consistent accuracy. The analog display features hour, minute, and second hands for clear, traditional timekeeping.
