VALOR TYPE-E / BLACK DLC
STEALTH BY DESIGN. BUILT FOR THE MISSION.
Not a black watch for attention. A disciplined mechanical time instrument with a restrained DLC titanium finish. Read the time. Stay on course. Get on with the work.
FIELD REPORT / DAILY WEAR
THE HERO IN ACTION.
“Light enough to not be bothersome and puts up with a lot of abuse and still looks great.”
Daniel wears his VALOR across demanding workdays and business events. One dependable watch that earns its place in daily life, not just on special occasions.
HERITAGE WITHOUT HESITATION
BUILT TO BE WORN. NOT PRESERVED.
VALOR DLC takes the clarity and discipline of military navigation watches and rebuilds them for the demands of today. DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium, sapphire crystal and automatic mechanical timekeeping. The black finish is restrained. The instrument is built to be worn, not kept on display.
LIGHT. NOT DELICATE.
Grade 5 titanium cuts weight while sapphire and 20ATM water resistance are built for actual daily wear.
MECHANICAL. NOT NEEDY.
Automatic power means no screen, no charging ritual and no battery routine between you and the time.
FUNCTIONAL. NOT LOUD.
Matte dial, restrained markings and a working bezel. The information is there when you need it and quiet when you do not.
INSTRUMENT DNA
DESIGNED TO HELP YOU HOLD YOUR COURSE.
VALOR inherits the disciplined legibility of military navigation watches: time at a glance, minimal ornament, practical mechanical construction. The Type-E dial is offered in Date and No Date configurations for this allocation.
STEALTH IS THE FINISH. PURPOSE IS THE POINT.
VALOR
THE WAYPOINT
VALOR IS A WAYPOINT.
Aviation waypoints are built to be transmitted clearly and used to hold a course. VALOR carries the same idea into the name: courage expressed through action, especially when the work is ordinary, difficult or unseen.
The watch is not the mission. It is the reminder to keep moving toward it.
DLC TITANIUM / CAPABILITY
BUILT TO DO THE JOB.
DLC means diamond-like carbon — a black, hard surface coating over Grade 5 titanium. The coating is not scratchproof. The aim is restraint, clarity and confidence in daily use, not decorative gloss.
DLC-COATED GRADE 5 TITANIUM
Lightweight titanium beneath a hard black diamond-like carbon coating. Built for daily use, but not scratchproof.
20ATM
Screw-down crown and a case built to stay on through weather, travel and water.
SAPPHIRE + AR
Scratch-resistant sapphire with anti-reflective treatment for clean legibility.
9015 / 90S5
Miyota automatic: 9015 for Date, 90S5 for No Date. Approximately 42 hours of reserve.
38 × 45 MM
Compact instrument proportions with a 12 mm profile and 20 mm lug width.
120 CLICK
Unidirectional titanium bezel for elapsed time, countdown reference or a second time zone.
DAILY OPERATIONS
WEAR THE WATCH. DO THE WORK.
A watch keeps time. What you do with those hours matters. Through work, travel, family and the outdoors, stay focused on the people and commitments right in front of you.
Workday. Weekend. Same watch.
BEFORE YOU DEPLOY
THE DETAILS THAT MATTER.
Is 38 mm too small?
VALOR measures 38 × 45 mm including the lugs. The compact case is deliberate: instrument-first proportions, low weight and strong everyday wearability rather than oversized wrist presence.
What is the difference between Date and No Date?
Date adds a circular date aperture for everyday utility. No Date keeps the dial architecture uninterrupted. Both use the same Grade 5 titanium case, capability and overall design language.
Can I wear VALOR in the water?
VALOR is rated to 20ATM water resistance. Make sure the screw-down crown is fully secured and follow normal watch-care guidance around water exposure.
What movement is inside?
The Date model uses the Miyota 9015 automatic movement. The No Date model uses the Miyota 90S5. Both provide approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
What comes on the watch?
VALOR deploys on a black ballistic nylon G10 mission strap with titanium hardware. The lug width is 20 mm, so changing straps is straightforward.
Where does VALOR’s military-watch design come from?
VALOR draws from the functional logic of British military and RAF navigator watches rather than copying a single historical reference. Read the longer Field Station history of the design lineage.
Why Grade 5 titanium?
Grade 5 titanium reduces wrist weight, resists corrosion and suits VALOR’s low-glare instrument finish.
