DEEP BLUE Watches DAYNIGHT STEALTH OPS CARBON [a diver fit for the field]

It is a sad truth that the World is once again at war; at least one is raging in Europe. Being watch lovers we might be forgiven for pausing for a moment, putting aside the cruel and grim nature of war to consider an aspect of war or indeed peacetime that is relatable to us. And that is, what are most of active soldiers wearing on their wrists these days? What are the brave men and women on the frontlines in Ukraine wearing as they repel Putin’s illegal invasion forces? If you are one of them please let us know in the comments. The truth is that most soldiers likely go into battle wearing whatever watch is on their wrist. If it is reliable, keeps good time and can be seen in the dark then it will do the job. And most soldiers like most people don’t give that much thought to their wristwatch beyond this. However there is a different kind of soldier that puts a far great emphasis on their wrist attire, those ones operating in specialist diving and tactical units, those that require their timepieces to perform to a far higher level. G-Shocks are among those favored by Special Forces operators, despite claims from those luxury watchmakers that have collaborated with them for special editions. Another type of watch used by the US Navy SEALs and the like are ones made of tough lightweight polycarbonate like the one featured. DB Watches make no claims about their watches being used by any Special Forces or Specialist Tactical Units (that I know of) but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some were because it is exactly these types of affordable, lightweight yet hard as nails wristwatches that fare the best in the line of fire. However you don’t need to be carrying out underwater demolitions with the British SBS to appreciate the virtues of a well-built tactical wristwatch. These watches make excellent everyday beaters and exceptional nighttime companions owing to their excellent dial and bezel illumination. This is the new DayNight Stealth Ops Carbon from Deep Blue Watches with its tough, lightweight carbon case weighing a mere three ounces and equipped with a sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and case-back, allowing for 300m of water-resistance. And powered by an automatic Seiko NH 35 movement with a date function, and boasting T100 Tritium Capacity tubes in green, orange or blue which are utilized for the watch’s indexes, hands and 12hr bezel marker.
