95% of key specs known. Missing: link attachment.
Version "A" of Draken's titanium tactical chronograph, named for the rangers of the Kruger region; a white rhino is engraved on the case back and part of the profit supports anti-poaching rangers. Sold as "Kruger 'A' FL", with a white fully luminous ("FL") dial; Draken says a fully luminous dial is available for both the A and the B. The A uses the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz (sub-dials at 3, 6 and 9, date window at 6 in the photos) and the B the VK67, so they are separate models; the Kruger Auto (Valjoux 7750) uses a thicker version of the case. Current "V2" case: drilled lugs and a 60-click bidirectional bezel. Brand spec: grade 2 titanium with a 1200HV coating, 44mm, 49.5mm lug to lug, 12.45mm thick, 22mm lugs; double-domed sapphire with AR inside and out; screw-down crown; Viton gaskets; 100m; 55g head, 136g on the bracelet. Ceramic bezel insert with BGW9 lume markers, chosen at no extra cost as 12-hour second time zone, countdown or diver scale. Price depends on the band: canvas NZD 799, leather or rubber 849, titanium bracelet 949 (shown "excl. tax"); every option was out of stock on 2026-10-30, with a back-in-stock notice offered. Each comes with an olive single-pass nylon strap and a MOLLE pouch. Bracelet (Draken's separate listing): grade 2 titanium with the 1200HV coating, three-link, 22mm tapering to 20mm, solid end links, quick-release spring bars, ratcheting on-the-fly micro-adjustment in the clasp. Release year not stated.
