The timepiece features a high quality Swiss made precision jeweled Quartz Movement designed to withstand high G-forces and last many years. The watch is water resistant to 3 ATM (it is not rated for continuous water immersion however). This is the authentic 1st quality military item and not the commercial, military style "Navy Seals" watch available to the general public marketed by Luminox nor the watches manufactured by MB-Microtec.
It is powered by a new Eveready 395 watch battery that is accessible through a user serviceable battery hatch. The watch is accurate to +/- 21 seconds per month (mine is actually right on after many weeks!). By pulling the crown out, the second hand is stopped (hacked) for synchronization. 12 O'clock illuminated in red. Easy to read at night. Very lightweight and stylish. Watch is manufactured to military specifications.

This is NEW. It comes complete with a new black nylon strap ! There is a 3 day return privilege if not properly described.
Makes a great gift too!
Don't settle for imitations or rejected material. Why not own an original, first quality, authentic, current military issue watch for a fraction of a generic store bought commercial watch?
