Military timepieces are focused on a utilitarian aesthetic that can sometimes leave style by the wayside, which is something the MTM US-744X BB Automatic watch aims to change with a decidedly subtle and chic design.
The timepiece is inspired by the US NAVY Virginia-Class attack submarine and features a blacked-out design that is subtle enough for everyday wear. The watch has a 50-hour power reserve along with day/date sub counters, as well as Tritium tubes that have been hand-applied to help illuminate the hours markers.
The MTM US-744X BB Automatic watch has a military-grade titanium and carbon fiber case that will deliver dependable use at depths as low as 3,300 feet when diving. The demure, limited-edition watch is priced starting at $2,800.
