Full Reverse Lume
“The Beacon” is a very apt name for this 40mm watch since the entire background of the main dial is fully lumed with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume, and can give off a strong glow in the dark, like a beacon. This is undoubtedly the star feature of this timepiece, which we've experienced first hand, having been able to use one of these watches to handily light up a keyhole when trying to unlock a door in the dark.
A Robust Field Watch
We think this one ticks all of the boxes with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal including 6 layers of anti-reflective coating, a scratch resistant case surface hardened to 1200 Vickers, 100 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown, as you'd find in many dive watches, strong Swiss Super-LumiNova lume, and the incredibly reliable 9015 high beat automatic mechanical movement, which comes with the Parashock shock protection system and a 42 hour power reserve.
A Stylish Pilot Watch
A modern take on pilot watches, it's great to see the traditional two dots and triangle at 12 o'clock and full 24 hour markings. Little touches abound here, such as the red accents on the triangle at 12 and outer track at 4, 8, and 12, which tie really nicely to the red triangle on the second hand and the red accent stitching on the black straps. This is also a sophisticated and thin design, coming in at under 10mm including the sapphire crystal. The gunmetal-colored case is accented by polished chamfered sides both on top and below, to nicely bring out the sleek curved design, and the glossy black faceted applied indices are perfectly matched with the custom hand-set, which features diamond-cut faceted black hands with lumed tips.
