SCOUT Design

 

We extracted the SCOUT design DNA from WWII cockpit instruments and gauges. And distilled the details into carefully crafted elements like hand drawn numerals and all custom hands and hardware.

The venerable 1/A and A-9 were military specs for onboard nav tools in U.S. aircraft.

I loved my Seiko Contra Fieldmaster. But one day running around NYC, I got home and to my horror the digital module had gotten loose and disappeared. I never found it.

So I resolved to make one where the module would never come loose. I also wanted an automatic movement.
I also had in my mind my wife and son who could also have more compact mission watches.
We made the design modular with functionally different units: Analog automatic, Analog quartz, Digital, Compass.

Problems. Solved.

  1. You want iconic design without vintage fragile.
    Built like a tank, with a workhorse movement rated to run twenty years before needing service. WWII fighter pilot instrument dials and essential designs are the epitome of proven form and function.
  2. You're not generic, your watch shouldn't be either.
    Military-grade materials such as aerospace-grade titanium, ultra-hard anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, super-bright luminous paint. 
  3. You want absolutist function, not jewelry.
    The unidirectional counterclockwise rotating diver bezel provides triple function of timer, countdown, and second time zone. 
  4. You hate trivial distractions.
    Your life does not need the clutter of shiny things plastered with logos and busy with messy, unreadable text.
  5. You don't need another thing to plug in. Just get up and go.
    Powered by your movement — avoiding the pain of constant charging and the waste of frequent battery changes.
