DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the design, spirit, and durability of the iconic racing watches of the 1960s and 1970s, our R1 Tactical is an all-purpose meca-quartz timekeeper blending the aesthetics and functionality of a modern chronograph, with the durability, water resistance, and everyday practicality synonymous with our brand.

Utilizing the same 40mm case diameter of our popular C5 and A5 Field watches, the R1 Tactical serves as a unique blend of these function first timekeepers while adding the unmistakable flair, color, and stopwatch functionality of a racing-inspired chronograph.

At its core, the R1 is an accessible yet sophisticated timepiece. The watch combines the functionality demanded by sports enthusiasts—such as tachymeter scales for measuring speed—with a stylishness, and on-wrist comfort that will appeal to those looking for an all-purpose everyday wearer. The R1 Tactical dial, characterized by its vintage TV sub-dials and heavy lume application delivers both readability and aesthetic appeal.

Uniquely positioned as the only chronograph on the market that's both assembled in the USA and designed for everyday ocean use, the R1 Tactical is a great choice for those looking for a watch they can take anywhere and everywhere, that carries a compelling story of independent American craftsmanship.

SIZING & FIT

This watch is sized at 40mm in diameter, and measures 48mm from lug to lug, giving it a medium-sized presence on the wrist, and complementing most men's wrists. The 40mm case is our most popular size, and we recommend it for anyone with wrists in the 6.5 inch to 8.5-inch range, or especially if you're someone who likes a bit more presence on their wrist (compared to our ultra-compact 36mm watches).

Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be as comfortable as possible, while still maintaining 10ATM water resistance. The watch case measures 11.8mm in height (13mm with crystal) and has a case weight of 64 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or diving.

This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.5" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.
