Looks nice in a simple way. Possible they might make a bezel that is black so the numbers can be read on it? Not a fan of numbers on the dial face however, seems like a solid design though.
The bezel numbers are C3 Superluminova. So maybe a dark bezel would be better, but personally, I like the look of a stainless bezel.
Does anyone see a depth rating for this watch? I didn’t see it in the write up or on their site, unless I am just blind of course.
I also agree with Ed, we can even see in one of the images on the page how difficult the numbers could be to read on the bezel in bright light, although that may just be the picture.
Dial says 300M/1000 ft.
Like I said, blind. I was looking at the writing and not the images for the information. Thanks!
Would be nice if it was an automatic
Glad to see it’s a reasonable size.
And a reasonable price.
Mission timer?
Yeah dawg, for timing-missions.
Must be a millennial thing. We used to call these watches.
What grip is on that rifle?
Never-mind, MFT
couldn’t see it on my phone
These look like another operators way of trying to cash in on a RESCO type watch.
