About this entry
95% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.
Charity limited edition for the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation (100% of proceeds donated; sold with the family's book "The Journey is the Reward" and a foundation deck of cards), made in 40mm and 36mm versions; the 36mm is a separate model. "Limited edition watch of 77 pieces, and each is individually numbered", with XX/77 etched on the caseback; StrapHabit says "all 77 copies of the 40mm version" sold out and reports 154 made across both sizes, so the limit is 77 per size. Explorer-style 3-6-9 dial (StrapHabit likens the pair to the Rolex Explorer). Seiko NH35 with the date mechanism removed (per StrapHabit, quoting the brand, for the Journey; the photos show no date window). Silver sunburst dial with applied numerals and markers filled with C3 Super-LumiNova, polished hands outlined in C3, dark green seconds hand, foundation logo on the lower dial. 40mm, 13mm thick (the brand does not say whether this includes the domed crystal), 47.5mm lug to lug, domed sapphire with inner AR, screw-down crown, 100m, exhibition caseback. Fixed bezel from the photos. Case "Stainless Steel" (grade not stated). Weight 150g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed). Bracelet: solid links and solid end links, sized with screws, 20mm tapering to 16mm at a "deployant, 3 position micro adjust clasp" (same text as the 36mm, whose clasp StrapHabit describes as stamped with micro-adjust holes); 3-link oyster style from the photos. Tagged "Discontinued" in the Long Island Watch store and sold out on 2026-10-21.
