The main design element that adorns all three watches spotlight the label's iconic [camouflage print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-fusion-all-black-camo) -- it adorns the entire face and the strap. The three colorway options available feature blue, green, and pink, all of which boast the aforementioned camo pattern.

The ABC Nato Belt Type 1 BAPEZ watch features metal hardware around the encasing and wrap enclosure system to contrast against the vibrant design.
