- A watch is capable of prolonged exposure to water and dust, durable, shock-resistant, clear visibility day or night.
- This specific NIVO (Night Invisible Varnish, Orfordness) colour-way was uncovered whilst researching the use of specific military colours beyond the usual olive drab, black, and desert shades.
- It's the first military issued watch from a British company in over ten years. Before being approved, it was the subject of intense testing, surviving some of the most hostile conditions imaginable.
- Bezel: High grip, unidirectional divers bezel case hardened to 1200HV Vickers with matt PVD coating whose hardness matches that of the hardened bezel. Highly resistant to marking and provides an outer layer of protection for the watch. The high grip texture enables the bezel to be turned by gripping the sides or pressing downwards and the fine hobnail pattern ensures the bezel can't be caught on anything, turning it accidentally.
- Case: 316L stainless, bead-blasted anti-reflective pale gunmetal grey PVD plated at the maximum thickness without loss of definition on case detailing (approx twice the industry standard thickness). Every watch is individually pressure tested to 200m at several points during production.
- Crown: Easy to use yet highly protected. Deeply recessed, screws down into watch case, triple-sealed, hobnail knurling for secure grip, 4H position keeps it out of harm's way.
- Dial: NIVO colour, anti-reflective, easy to read at a glance day or night with a military bearing that's relevant and familiar. The hour markers are bold luminous sand green parallelograms reminiscent of 1970s military dive watches, brought up to date with our trademark 12-3-6-9 cardinal graphics, with a bold triangle at 12H to help orientate the watch when it's dark.
- Hands: Clear differentiation between hours, minutes and seconds hands with minimal chance of confusion. Short stubby 'sword' hour hand, long slender parallel minutes hand with a pointed tip that reaches precisely to the minute markers, both infilled with pink sand Superluminova. The second's hand has a fine yellow-painted tip and luminous filled arrowhead counterbalanced by a dark gunmetal 'lollipop'.
- Crystal: Bevelled 2mm sapphire with an anti-reflective coating applied to the inner surface to minimise glare for perfect visibility in all light conditions. It's mounted fractionally below the hardened bezel to minimise the chance of the edge becoming chipped, with a matching black sealing ring. To pass QC, every crystal must be capable of withstanding an impact applied 3 times by a 17mm steel ball dropped from 0.5m.
- Movement: Swiss Ronda calibre 715 with low-battery/end of life indicator that prevents the watch from being issued with a low battery. It is housed inside a proprietary shock protection system consisting of a steel housing suspended by elastomer shock absorbers. The projected battery life is approximately 3 years.
- Strap: Desert brown webbing strap is woven exclusively for us in small batches in Derbyshire by Bowmer Bond. Treated with lifetime anti-bac, and fitted with our patented buckle.
- Strap fixing: Solid steel strap bars that screw directly into the case shoulders, driven by a 5-lobe head so that the driver (included with the watch) can't slip or climb out, ensuring simple and fast strap changes whilst also providing maximum security - no spring-bars to break.
- Caseback: Bolted down using hex bolts creating a perfect compression seal and correct tension for the shock absorption system. Multiple surfaces minimise skin contact for comfort and bolting the case down ensures the case back logo and detailing are always aligned perfectly.
- Displays date between 4 and 5 o'clock.
- 200m water-resistant watch suitable for diving.
- A 5-year warranty from Elliot Brown, showing confidence in their watches.
