For sale today is a really cool project of mine and it’s a chance to get a one of a kind watch with some really cool features. I wanted a GMT with a countdown bezel and high legibility both in the day and in the dark. It has mostly Seiko design cues in the dial, hands, and case shape. Dimensions: 41mm diameter without the crown, 47mm lug to lug, 20mm lug width, 13.5mm thin, a large 8mm crown. The Dial: This is a fully custom dial that resembles an SKX173 but it has the date moved to 6 o’clock and the lume is in icy blue BGW9. The is what’s referred to as a “Sandwich Dial” and this means that the hour markers are cut all the way through the dial and then filled with lume. Because of this, the lume is very strong and long lasting but the dial remains flat so there will never be any clearance issues with the GMT hand. The Bezel: This is a custom sloped countdown bezel that is fully lumed. It is a matte black ceramic so it remains toolish and not shiny. Also this is a BI-DIRECTIONAL BEZEL! Meaning that it clicks both ways. And yes it does click. I find this to be more useful when using a countdown bezel. Movement: This watch features an NH34 GMT movement that has been regulated and is keeping great time. The Bracelet: The bracelet is a point of pride for me as I custom made it by shaping and attaching a lot of the parts myself. It’s a solid oyster style bracelet with robust male end links and a glidelock style clasp that adds a lot of room for micro adjustments. It’s 20mm and tapers down to 16mm This watch has been pressure tested and is ready for adventure. It also comes with 3 bracelet/strap options. A stainless steel bracelet, a quick release textured black rubber strap from Crafter Blue, and a green and red Marine Nationale style strap. Here are some videos of the watch on all three strap options: https://imgur.com/a/uBh4ELk Price: $399 Shipped and insured to CONUS
