Full Description
This 1940s French seaman style watch is a modern reproduction based on classic World War Two naval timepieces.
Naval Heritage Style
Inspired by WWII Marine Nationale designs, this watch mirrors the highly legible dials issued to French naval crews. In the 1940s, seamen needed high-contrast, uncluttered watch faces to navigate dark vessel interiors. This timepiece captures that functional aesthetic with a clean off-white dial, bold Arabic hours, and a slim profile that pays tribute to naval history.
Reliable Quartz Movement
At its core is a high-grade Japanese quartz movement. While original WWII watches relied on manual mechanical movements that required daily winding and regular servicing, modern quartz provides worry-free precision. The internal battery comes installed and ready, giving you a dependable, low-maintenance grab-and-go tool that keeps perfect time on any excursion.
Built for the Outdoors
The 33mm alloy case sits flush on the wrist, making it much lighter than bulky modern watches. This compact size mimics the vintage wartime standard, designed to avoid snagging on gear. Paired with a breathable, quick-drying canvas strap, it is built to handle sweat, mud, and rain during bushcraft, hiking, or everyday workwear tasks.
Crown Wheel Activation
Your timepiece arrives with the crown wheel pulled out to preserve battery life. Because of this, the hands may appear free-moving in the packaging. This is completely normal and stops immediately once you connect the battery by pushing the crown wheel fully in, locking the hands.
Equip your wrist with this reliable naval style timepiece for your next outdoor adventure or daily shift.
