The Sif North Atlantic Rescue Timer, the official watch of the Icelandic Coast Guard. Brand spec (Sif N.A.R.T., Sif NART 1948 and Sif Volcano pages): 40mm x 13.5mm 316L steel case, brushed or black PVD, 4.0mm sapphire crystal with multi-layer AR on the inside, solid steel back, screw-down crown, 1000m water resistance, 20mm lug width, 49mm lug-to-lug. Power reserve is given as 38 hours (Sif, Volcano) or 40 hours (1948). Crystal shape isn't stated. Fifth Wrist's owner review confirms the screw-down crown and that there is no rotating bezel. Movement: the brand describes a Swiss Made automatic "Execution Top" with 25 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, custom decoration with blued screws and rhodium plating, "Assortment Chronometer" fine tuning and adjustment in five positions, but never names the caliber. 25 jewels, ETA's "Execution Top" grade and Incabloc match the ETA 2824-2 Top (a Sellita SW200-1 has 26 jewels), and aBlogtoWatch's Islandus review and Fifth Wrist's Sif N.A.R.T. review both name a top-grade ETA 2824(-2), so eta-2824-2 with grade Top is recorded. The brand gives no rate figures, so no regulation claim is recorded beyond the grade's factory five-position adjustment. Dials: the Sif N.A.R.T. has a matte black Coast Guard dial with Arabic numerals, white Super-LumiNova, orange or red hand tips and date at six; the 1948 pilot-style sunburst blue (white lume, white or black date disc), matte black (green lume) or matte white (black lume) dials with date at three; the Volcano a black dial made from volcanic ash with red or gold accents, white Super-LumiNova, red-tipped hands and date at six. "Black Case" variants are black PVD coated. The Volcano's case can be ordered hand-engraved with 24k gold inlay (USD 10,590 instead of 5,360). The steel bracelet option is a mesh bracelet (seen in the product photos); its clasp isn't described. Prices: the store's own, in US dollars (its only currency). The store says watch prices include all import/export duties and DHL Express shipping and insurance to the door worldwide, so they are delivered prices; VAT isn't mentioned separately. Strap and bracelet choices change the price and are recorded as configurations. Several colourways are listed more than once in the store with the same options and prices; each listing has its own store entry.
