N a u t i c a l In s p i r e d New World Watch www.ernstbenz.com Celebrating an era when pirates and cyclones gave pause to intrepid explorers, Ernst Benz offers the 18th Degree. Break out your compass and chart your course to the new world with the dial of the new 18th degree. A 17th century vintage map design in parchment (color) or deep black highlight the 18th parallel north of the equator and the discovery of the western world. Distressed numerals add a subtle historical feel under the domed sapphire crystal and are a perfect fit for the theme. Both a black PVD and a brushed stainless steel case are offered in two sizes; 44mm and 47mm. Under the dial beats an ETA Swiss automatic caliber 2836 - visible via the see through glass back and protected to a nominal 5atm water resistance, so don’t fall overboard if you can help it. This nautical inspired creation is Swiss Made and priced reasonably with a range from $3,025-$4,725 - depending on the case size and composition. 8 1 0 80 Wristwatch | 2016 Ernst B
