Water-resistant to 100 meters, each watch is designed in a style reminiscent of the exposed mechanics of the operating system inside a submarine. An inner ring is carefully stamped, polished and inlaid inside the case while the Royal Navy’ s Submarine Service motto“ We Come Unseen” is inscribed on the side of each case at 9 o’ clock. Each component from the geared levels of the bezel to the oversized indexes and hardened mineral crystal has been carefully considered. Each piece has been engineered to fit both technically and aesthetically. Case in point: the date and time are changed by unlocking the right hand crown and turning the bezel of the watch.
Ballast’ s Valiant model offers a more sturdy and robust silhouette featuring a custom-molded silicon band for ease of wear and a sportier profile. The large bold case likewise boasts the brand’ s canteen crown lock mechanism. Prices for both the Tralfagar and Valiant run between $ 400- $ 490.
