CASE & BRACELET

The 38x46mm stainless steel case is one of the most fantastic and odd designs we've come across. With beveled edge after beveled edge, the hexagonal shape plays with the light and looks amazing on the wrist. The case features both an oversized screw-down crown and a screw-down case back. The watch comes supplied on a NATO strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The silver dial is dynamic and full, providing a lovely vintage aesthetic with its light but consistent marks and aging. It features large steel, tapered hour markers, and matching steel hands with the tritium lume still intact. Also hidden between 4 and 5 o'clock is a small, unassuming date window. The tritium lume of the dial and hands have both aged to a dark grey patina and exhibit no degradation when inspected under U.V. light.
