The automatic version 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. Shares the Kruger's 44mm grade 2 titanium case with a 1200HV coating, but at 15.6mm thick (12.45mm for the meca-quartz Kruger A and B) to house an ETA/Valjoux 7750 in Elaboré grade, with day and date at 3 (photos). Current "V2" case: drilled lugs and a 60-click bidirectional bezel. Brand spec: 44mm, 49.5mm lug to lug, 22mm lugs; double-domed sapphire with AR inside and out; screw-down crown; Viton gaskets; 100m; 80g head, 161g 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 2,849, leather or rubber 2,899, titanium bracelet 2,999 (shown "excl. tax"; in stock on 2026-10-30), each with an olive single-pass nylon strap and a MOLLE pouch.
