MK II has announced the launch of its newest timepiece, an all-new iteration of its iconic Mk II Paradive Type XIII, which is based on the Tornek-Rayville TR-50717.
The luxurious new wristwatch features a 41.25mm bead-blasted 316L stainless steel case, which is borrowed directly from the Paradive Type XIII. In addition, it comes equipped with a 120-click unidirectional bezel that has an option for a 12-hour aluminum inlay or a 60-minute dive inlay.
The dial of the watch is modeled after vintage Mk II designs and features SuperLumiNova coatings and an eye-catching orange second-hand. Powering the watch is an SII NE15 automatic movement, which features a 50-hour power reserve. Lastly, three different straps are available for the watch: a black nylon NATO-style MODSpec strap, a rubber dive strap, and a Nytex Type I-M2 strap.
