Recently Todd at Karlskrona Watch Co sent me some production samples of the new Hemlig Mil Series watches. I know a lot of watch guys have been anticipating the release of these. From what Todd tells me, these watches are due to be released next month in October. There are four versions of the watch: Dive Bezel with & without date and GMT bezel with & without date.
I had a chance to handle the prototypes and these production watches turned out quite nice IMO. The bead blasted asymmetrical case is nicely machined and finished without any sharp edges. drilled lugs make changing straps a breeze. The 120 click bezel rotates smoothy although there is some backplay to the action. The fully lumed deep black ceramic bezel insert is is very well executed with crisp numbers & markers. Hands are traditional Mil-style ladder hands. The matte black dial is crisply printed with a "ghost" Karlskrona company logo that shows up in direct sunlight, (see photo). Overall lume on these production watches is exceptionally bright Super-LumiNova which appears to be C3.
The watches come supplied on a nice quality, heavy duty NATO strap with bead blasted hardware with custom etched Karlskrona logo. Also supplied with the watch is a nice quality black Bradystraps Sailcloth strap. The watch comes in a nice quality Leather zippered travel / storage case.
