SKU Code: 5025J/NS

This watch is based on a 1950s/1960s military design. It features a box sapphire crystal that closely resembles the original plexiglass. The movement is a sophisticated Ronda R 150 or equivalent, boasting 25 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz). This high-precision mechanism offers a substantial 38-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable performance. Equipped with hacking and hand-winding capabilities, it exemplifies both efficiency and convenience.

Instead of the Tritium used in the 1960s, this watch employs Luminova. The main advantage of Luminova is that it does not deteriorate with age and is non-radioactive. The paint color mimics aged Tritium paint, and although the "T" is encircled (indicating Tritium), this is included purely for historical accuracy.

This watch measures 39mm in diameter and comes with two NATO straps: one black and one standard British issue Admiralty gray.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal: Many people ask about the advantages of sapphire crystal over the original plexiglass. Synthetic sapphire is the superior material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These qualities make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and individuals with active outdoor lifestyles—groups that make up over 70% of our customers.

The original plexiglass crystals, made from plastic/acrylic materials used in the 1960s, were prone to scratches and cracks, and they limited the watch’s water resistance. Over 90% of cracked crystal incidents involve watches with mineral glass or plexiglass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire's durability under harsh conditions.

Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to eliminate internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective material. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now also used in the latest iPhones. Despite its higher cost, sapphire crystal's superior quality justifies its use in higher-end watches.

Nice Patek Phillip replica!
Color: Rose gold, Color: Rose gold
Nice watch! Doesn't look cheap. Casual and office wear, both ok. Removing links was easy. Decent size, good on my wrist. These days smaller watches are in trend and it does fit the requirement. Color is fancy. In low light conditions it does get darker hues and it looks even better to me.

Packaging is most disappointing
Color: Black
Giving a 3-star at the moment because I just received the watch and usually comment on a new collection addition after about a week. •biggest turn off and cause for 3 star upon receipt is because of packaging. The main box seemed already used and returned or carelessly handled & very basic. How it's advertised & described as well as the image seller portrays of the product, the packaging fails at "luxury" depiction. •Link removal tool is very basic but this was a $23.00 watch. Because I am a collector I knew to pay attention to how pins are removed and had no problems removing the 4 links required to meet my desired size. •A few reviews said it's heavy and I'm used to pretty heavy + 44-48mm bezels so to my standards, I wouldn't 100% say it feels cheap(i mean c'mon it is so can't be too judgemental) but it slightly does feel "toyish" •Bracelet out the package even with plastic all over, came with two dot sized blemishes i keep focusing on and upset at. •Many reviews said after two hours, the time isn't accurate; thus far, time is fine •A few reviews said the double clasp is weak. 1 time it did loose but after removing links, ive done a lot of shaking and wrist action to test the clasps and nothing so far to match others experience •It has a nice appearance, can pass for business and casual •For a $26.00 watch after taxes I'm not disappointed as of yet besides the blemishes and packaging but will revisit in a week or so. •I read that the date doesn't keep accurately so I will update review after a trial period • I will say, if you dress correctly with this piece, I feel it has potential to draw attention from it's design

All time favorite watch
This watch is amazing for the price. I have had mine for 5 years or so and I wear it regularly. It's very comfortable resin strap. The design of the face is I think stunningly beautiful. Yes that is a bit strong for a $25 watch but the way the globe pops out, the legibility on par with a high priced dive watch and the funcationality of a timer, stop watch, world time and a data bank you will never use, but still.. cool watch!

Handy
Very easy for old eyes to read, can even see the date if light is good. Light weight for a largish watch. Seems rugged enough for me and the price is right for a beater watch.
