    COURG Zero-Hour Titanium Pilot Diver Watch Hybrid

     

     

    The COURG ORIGIN: Mission critical pilot instruments, fused with diver tools.

     

    COURG is a way point, which is a navigational tool used by pilots to chart their flight across the globe. Way points are composed of 5-letters and made to be spoken as a word so pilots can quickly transmit their location via radio. This particular way point stands just outside Washington, DC and as you probably guessed -- is pronounced COURAGE.

    We chose COURG because courage is a character trait we could all use more of -- choosing to make the right and often difficult decisions even when we know the going will get tough.

     

    COURG Aviation Waypoint

    ZERO-HOUR: LEAN, MEAN, MACHINE.

    Refined to the core 3-6-9 hour elements, this dial is driven by diver watch functionality where distractions are stripped away to only essential elements that optimize legibility in murky conditions and aid instant instrument readouts. Zero-Hour is the military term for the scheduled time of a mission.

    We selected a classic 39mm size and implemented a date window at 4PM.

    Titanium encased. Powered by your adventures.

    Built from premium materials inside and out with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which we've coated with an anti-reflective glare layer. Titanium grade 5, bead blasted and 50% lighter than a stainless steel equivalent.

    The uni-directional titanium bezel prevents accidental rotation, and provides rugged precision machined teeth for grip.

    This watch is rated to 20 ATM with a screw down crown and streamlined crown guards to protect the movement from external shocks.

    The dial is matte black with our proprietary RDXb1 luminous paint that glows a true blue at night, paired with a C3 green second hand and bezel marker.

    Our date window cutout is circular to increase visibility of the numeral and add to the overall iconic design, with white numerals on black.
