steel , each is rated water resistant to 50 meters with a flat antireflective ( underside only – as preferred ) sapphire crystal over the dial . At 3 ’ oclock , a multi-gasket system is integrated into the crown ensuring the water resistance is more than just a claim . Six dial variations are held on your wrist with a fine leather strap while the overall fit and finish stands up to the loupe – Andrew would not have it any other way .

Waldan is launching the Heritage Professional series with dials in four colors , including black , white , off-white and green . Rounding out the initial launch are two Heritage Sportline versions with oil-pressed linear-patterned dials in black and silver that add a bit of dimension to the dials . Fine details , including SuperLuminova plots on the outer tracks , applied markers and luminous hands on the sports models , attest to Waldan ’ s high specification levels .
Although not limited to a specific numbered series , each Waldan Heritage is hand built in the U . S . using a proprietary ATAC ( assess , test , assemble , certify ) Zero-Defect protocol and will be limited only by production capacity and likely to be a hot commodity when it releases this Fall .
