About this entry

95% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.

Second-generation Republic: the 40mm Republic case with a Miyota 9075 "traveler" (flyer) GMT, whose local hour hand is set in one-hour jumps while the airplane-tipped 24-hour hand keeps home time on the 24-hour chapter ring; the bidirectional 24-hour bezel tracks a third zone. Colour-matched date between 4 and 5. The earlier Sellita SW330-2 Republic (ISL-138 to 140, 12mm thick) is a separate file. Stainless steel case (grade not stated), 40 x 13.1mm, 46.5mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, embossed screw-down crown without crown guards, embossed solid screw-down caseback, 200m. Flat sapphire with inner AR. Bezel: 120 clicks per StrapHabit (not stated by the brand). Lume: the brand says the numerals, indices and hands are lumed and names C3 for the sapphire bezel insert; StrapHabit names BGW9 on the hands and indices and orange lume on the GMT hand tip. The brand says the movement has a 40-hour power reserve; Miyota's spec and StrapHabit say about 42 hours. Weight 175g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed); StrapHabit lists 180g. Bracelet: brushed and polished 5-link design (three brushed links split by polished ones, per StrapHabit and the photos), solid 20mm end links, screws, tapering to 18mm. Tool-less micro-adjust clasp: the brand gives 37mm closed and 54mm fully open in 7 increments, and StrapHabit 17mm of extension; the brand doesn't say it can be adjusted on the wrist (Serious Watches says "on the fly"), so it is recorded as toolless. Bezel colours are from the photos. StrapHabit's June 2025 review calls it newly released and gives a $695 MSRP; the store listed $595 on 2026-10-21. None of the three references is tagged "Discontinued"; all were sold out on 2026-10-21.
