About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: weight, bracelet offered.

Limited and numbered series of 300. The brand says the Solar Marine series is "back by popular demand", "updated and upgraded for 2026". Black titanium carbide PVD hard coating over a bead-blasted case (no hardness given; the brand says the coating increases surface hardness and the bead blast improves scratch and ding resistance by 8-10%), black bezel insert, semi-transparent black solar dial with metal index surrounds; date window at 4:30 in the brand's photos. Solar quartz: the brand names a Japanese "VS42A" (Epson VS42) and says one minute of sunlight gives a full day of power and a full charge (5 hours of sunlight) lasts 6 months. Brand specs: 39mm, 10.7mm including sapphire, 43.5mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lugs, 300 m, 2mm-thick sapphire with double-sided anti-reflective coating, threaded solid caseback, threaded crown with double Viton seals, drilled lugs, rotating bezel with a steel insert and luminous pip (the brand doesn't say whether it's unidirectional). 60-minute bezel scale and no crown guards, from the brand's photos. Grade A BGW9 Super-LumiNova on the dial and diamond-cut hands; MDV Luminous Technology, per the brand: over 30 printed layers over a chemically coated reflective base, dials tested and verified by RC Tritec in Switzerland as top performers. Brand case claims: forged 316L (forging said to raise fatigue strength 37% over a cast case), heat treatment "to harden the metal surface after finishing" (not recorded as hardening: no treatment or hardness is given), PVD anti-fingerprint coating, sealing tested to 30% beyond the 300 m rating. The included strap is a thick nylon military strap looped through both spring bars. No bracelet comes with the watch. Weight is not published. Listing created December 2025, published on the store in January 2026.
