This model is inspired by a 1960s military diver’s specification, but with several significant upgrades tailored to meet modern-day standards—both in terms of performance and durability.
Enhanced Design with Modern Tech
While original military dive watches from the 1960s offered 200m water resistance, this upgraded model is rated to 300m / 1000ft, making it highly suitable for professional and recreational divers alike.
Key upgrades include:
Screw-down locking crown
Screw-in stainless steel caseback
Luminova dial with historical encircled “T”
Hybrid mechanical-quartz movement with hacking function
This version is fitted with a matching stainless steel bracelet, adding a classic and robust finish to the watch.
Hybrid Movement – The Best of Both Worlds
The movement combines traditional mechanical watchmaking with the precision of quartz. Here’s how it works:
Powered by a battery, regulated by a quartz oscillator
Hands are mechanically actuated, mimicking the smooth sweep of an automatic
No mainspring, reducing maintenance requirements
Includes a hacking function for synchronization or power conservation
This configuration provides the look and feel of an automatic watch, with the reliability and ease of quartz, resulting in an ultra-low maintenance timepiece.
Luminova with Vintage Aesthetic
Though the watch uses Luminova (which is non-radioactive and does not degrade over time), it features the encircled “T” on the dial as a nod to the original Tritium dials used in the 1960s.
