The Raven Airfield Watch is a hybrid accessory that blends the functionality of a field watch with that of a pilot's watch to merge the two into one fashion item that's ready for everyday wear. The watch features a 40mm case that is crafted using 316L surgical-grade stainless steel that is also anti-allergic in order to make it as comfortable as possible for most wearers to don each day. The watch is rated for 200-meters of water resistance and is paired with a domed sapphire crystal that has an inner antireflective coating along with a Super-LumiNova X1 lime with a blue tint.
The Raven Airfield Watch is powered by a Seiko NH caliber automatic movement and is available now for preorder for $600.
