Introducing the Sea Ranger! A tool watch built to serve, built for adventure and built for life. From the field to the sea and anywhere in between this watch will serve all your needs. From a second time zone by using the fully lumed 12hr bezel to the 300 meter water resistance. We believe it’s our best watch yet! With a 40mm asymmetrical case it’s the perfect size for all wrists and a super comfortable bracelet designed to follow the natural curve of the wrist. The dial features applied indices and a step down 24hr track used to track military time. .

The multi level dial is nice, especially on the blue dial. I also like the curve of the case and the rounded, soft edge.

The brand name doesn't work for me, but the watch looks good and unique - a combo not often found in the micro world.

I like what Andrew does in general and this is a departure from his typical watches but he did a great job imho and the price is very reasonable. The one I had was very well made and he did the assembly in Chicago with Swiss mvt and German cases. Given the price point I assume this one has more Asian components, which is fine. The price under $600 is very good. He always has put out a quality product so I hope this is too because I love the looks

The case is a little weird, but this watch looks like it was well designed.

Maybe it’s just the photos, but the case looks very soft, like it has been overly polished.

Exactly.

I like a lot about it but that aspect of the case ruins it for me. I'm also not sold on the second hand.

Some interesting divers coming out in 40mm.

I wish the ones I like were 42mm.

The white dial one isn't bad at all.
