Product Specifications
Differentiation Strategy
Pivots from a dive watch to a field watch by incorporating a fixed, smooth bezel, offering a cleaner, more versatile aesthetic.
Utilizes a full titanium case construction for a significant reduction in weight, enhanced comfort, and a modern, technical feel.
Employs a sandblasted matte finish across the case, distinguishing it from the polished and brushed steel of the reference product and reinforcing its "tool watch" character.
Offers a high-performance hybrid strap as standard, leaning into a modern, adventure-ready identity rather than the vintage-style bracelet.
Success Replication
Maintains the highly praised proportional case design, offering excellent wearability and a familiar silhouette.
Ensures high-end durability and functionality with 200m water resistance and a screw-down crown, appealing to the desire for a go-anywhere, do-anything timepiece.
Uses a high-quality, Swiss-made automatic movement, providing the reliability and smooth 4 Hz sweep that enthusiasts expect in this market segment.
Focuses on superior legibility with high-contrast dials and generous application of premium Swiss Super-LumiNova®, a key functional attribute of the reference product.
