The watch is built for adventurous purposes and operates using a 21-jewel automatic movement.

It is powered by the wearer's movement and it is capable of storing up to 40 hours of energy in total. It boasts a [militaristic design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-type-3) and has an olive green tonal dial, a ballistic fabric strap, and a 41 mm gunmetal case to cater to this visual aesthetics. It also has an orange bezel for a bold touch of tonal contrast -- the collaborative Utility Ranger watch is available exclusively online at Todd Snyder.
