SCOUT DLC

GO AHEAD.

The same SCOUT mission. A darker finish. Purpose intact.

COMPACT BY DESIGN

SMALL BY DESIGN.
READY TO EXPAND.

SCOUT’s 28MM footprint keeps each instrument light and wearable — on its own or beside a second module. Black DLC changes the finish, not the modular architecture.

Start with the capability you need. Add another instrument when the work calls for it.

ORIGIN

SCOUT began with a question: why should a capable field watch be locked into a single configuration?

Inspired by the ingenious Seiko Contra Fieldmaster — and determined to improve its attachment system — we built a compact titanium platform that could change with the mission.

SCOUT DLC carries the same idea in an understated black finish.

SCOUT-A / DLC AUTOMATIC

GLANCE. READ. MOVE.

A high-visibility A-9 instrument dial, inspired by aviation timekeeping. Automatic mechanical movement. Sapphire crystal. No screen to wake, no notifications competing for your attention.

Choose Date or No Date in the black DLC titanium case.

ONE BEZEL. THREE JOBS.

That rotating ceramic bezel isn’t decoration. Use it as a simple field tool to keep another piece of time in view — without another screen or another mode.

SCOUT-D / DLC DIGITAL

DIGITAL.
NOT DISTRACTING.

Time, 12/24-hour display, stopwatch, alarm, hourly signal, and light — without a phone, an app, or a stream of notifications.

Carry it alone, or link it with the Automatic for two useful instruments on one strap.

EQUIPPED FOR WHAT MATTERS

LESS NOISE.
MORE TRACTION.

Your attention belongs on the people and work in front of you. SCOUT gives you practical, deliberate instruments — not another device asking to be checked.

THE INSTRUMENTS

CAPABILITY.
WITHOUT CLUTTER.

Black DLC over Grade 5 titanium. Same compact SCOUT platform, with the Automatic, Digital, or both linked together.

DLC is hard-wearing, but like any coating it can still scratch or mark.

Which SCOUT DLC setup can I choose?

This selection offers A-9 Automatic in Date or No Date, Digital, or an A-9 + Digital paired configuration with a matching DLC Titanium LINK. A compass and Complete System are not offered in this DLC selection.

What is DLC?

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a hard, dark coating applied over Grade 5 titanium. It provides an understated black appearance, but no coating is indestructible: impacts and abrasion can still leave marks.

Are the modules interchangeable?

Yes. SCOUT instruments share the same compact modular architecture and 20MM strap interface. The LINK allows the Automatic and Digital instruments to be worn together.

What is included with each setup?

The single-instrument options contain their named instrument. The paired option contains A-9 Automatic, Digital, and matching DLC Titanium LINK. Final strap and hardware contents will be confirmed before release.

Does SCOUT need a phone or charging?

No. SCOUT-A is a self-winding automatic watch, and SCOUT-D is a self-contained battery-powered digital instrument. Neither connects to apps or notifications.

What are the dimensions and water resistance?

The SCOUT platform measures 28MM across the case without the crown, 33MM lug-to-lug, and 12.75MM high, with a 20MM strap interface. Automatic and Digital SCOUT modules are rated to 20ATM.
