New Arrival: Swiss Military Watch Titan GMT (a.k.a. Poor Man's Kobold SMG-1)

[BrianS]

I just received this one from a private seller in the UK a couple of days ago. It is the Swiss Military Watch Titan GMT 300m Diver. I like to refer to it as the Poor Man's Kobold SMG-1 for obvious reasons..

The watch has a 44mm Titanium case that plays a bit larger due to the 31mm dial. It is super comfortable to wear due to the weight of the Ti. The PVD coating is well done and flawless. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the case back is PVD'd as well!

So far my only nitpick is the rubber strap is about a mile long, but I've ordered a nice thick black leather strap with white contrast stitch for it. I'll post some more pics once the strap arrives.

Here are the specs on it:

Outstanding watch, congrats .
I wasn't aware Swiss Military did tritium tube watches. This one looks great, and the PVD is a nice touch.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Now THAT is some COOL LUME !!!

That purple hue is from a UV flashlight used to excite the tritium tubes because my Nikon CoolPix 5000 blows chunks when it comes to indoor photos.



The only lume on the watch is the tritium tubes:
