We extracted the VALOR design DNA from the MoD W.W.W. (British Ministry of Defense Watch, Wrist, Waterproof). In WW2, the MoD created a military specification for black-dialed watches that were accurate, waterproof, and shatterproof. These had seconds subdials. 

Instead of looking in the civilian market, the MoD accepted designs from 12 Swiss manufacturers. These 12 different designs are called the "Dirty Dozen" today by collectors. 

A successor design from the W.W.W. post-WW2 was a new spec called 6B/346 Mk.11 created by the British RAF with pilots and navigators specifically in mind to use in "astro-navigation purposes." Hence, this spec was also called the "Navigator's".

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 uni-directional 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 shiny, plastered with logos, cluttered with messy unnecessary text and difficult to read.
5. You don't need another thing to plug in. Just get up and go.
   Powered by your movement — instead of the pain of constant charging and the waste of frequent battery changes.
