Specification

A dedicated Navy SEALs decal rests prominently at 6 o’clock, balancing the clean date window at 3 o’clock. Legibility is dramatically upgraded with wide applied hour markers that are expanded 20% in diameter.
These indexes utilize highly innovative green Super-LumiNova Grade X2 for an exceptionally bright, long lasting luminous glow. The dual color illumination features green for hours and blue for the minute hand and the bezel dot marker.
