PDW Teams Up with RESCO Instruments for Dive Watch Collaboration

Friday, September 16th, 2016

SPD Edition RESCO UDT Dive Watch

In collaboration with Coronado, CA based RESCO Instruments; Prometheus Design Werx will be releasing their exclusive edition of the RESCO UDT Dive Watch model under their Special Projects Division marque. PDW’s Special Projects Division is tasked with handling special product collaborations, limited editions to experimental projects. The SPD Edition RESCO UDT is a pure, purpose driven design, and a precision instrument for today’s modern adventurers and explorers who may find themselves in any environment whether under the Sea, in the Air, or on Land. The heart of this dive watch is the tried and true Swiss ETA 2824 self-winding mechanical movement, housed in a 316L stainless steel billet case, a domed sapphire crystal with an inner AR anti-reflection coating, and depth rated to 30 ATM / 300 M.

The SPD Edition RESCO UDT Dive Watch comes packaged in an Underwater Kinetics case, a NATO-style nylon strap, test certs, and individually serial numbered. Unique to this edition is the PDW Underwater Exploration Team (UET) Kraken with Trident logo on the dial and exclusive orange sweep.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“There is something that feels true and unique about a timepiece whose heart is a self-winding mechanical movement. It speaks to a long tradition of precision and manufacturing by a purely mechanical means. This watch does not rely on, nor will it ever need batteries to function, just your force of action day in and day out. ”

RESCO Instruments describes their watch:
“Made for the currents of the littoral zone, the RESCO UDT diver is comfortable in any setting. The UDT is made for action. With the addition of baton style “stick” markers and a solid bezel index design, the RESCO UDT offers up a classic look to your next demolition dive or cocktail party.”

The SPD Edition RESCO UDT Dive Watch will retail for $2195.00 and a limited qty will be available for purchase on Friday, Sept. 16, 2016 @ 3:00pm PST via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com. Additional pieces will be built and completed in about 10-15 business days after the first initial release.

    Suunto Traverse Alpha

    Monday, May 9th, 2016

    While it’s not exactly a ‘tactical’ watch, the Traverse Alpha from Suunto is right at home in the outdoors.

    I prefer navigation watches that use both GPS/GLONASS and this one does. Other features include moon phase calendar, gunshot detection, sunrise alert, weather trend, and red backlight for nighttime use.

    That gunshot detection feature is cool for the hunter. When a shot is detected by the Treverse Alpha is drops a pin on your route. When used in conjunction with movescount you can visualize your hunt on a topographic map. By recording the position of other events on your hunt and linking pictures and videos, you can produce a short movie of your hunt that you can share with others.

    Tested to MIL STD 819G*, the Traverse Alpha features a knurled stainless steel bezel, water repellent nylon strap and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. Vibration alerts and a customizable, night vision goggle compatible red backlight help you stay unnoticed.

    Available in Foliage and Stealth color variants.
