The design, in detail

The earliest dive watches put legibility ahead of ornament. Their direct hands, prominent markers and purposeful bezels remain a compelling foundation for a contemporary custom build. This Vintage Sub edition places the emphasis on its named finish rather than a change in the underlying watch architecture. For Tactical Bond, USAMODWATCH brings those historical design cues into an independently assembled custom edition.

An independent custom watch, assembled by USAMODWATCH.

The layout

Dial and case color relationship

Color, held in contrast

Warm dial details, a dark face and a striped strap give this vintage sporting watch a purposeful rhythm. The palette recalls an earlier instrument character without relying on the severity of pure black and white. This Vintage Sub edition places the emphasis on its named finish rather than a change in the underlying watch architecture. In Tactical Bond, that relationship is the center of the design.

The NH35
Automatic

The NH35 is a 24-jewel automatic movement running at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Wrist motion winds the mainspring, while manual winding and hacking seconds make setting the watch straightforward. Its mechanical architecture gives this custom build a traditional self-winding foundation.

“Watch looks fantastic. Setting the time on it though is like pulling teeth. If that’s smooth as butter, then it would be a 5 star watch.”

“Sweet watch! Love the vintage aesthetic of the watch, strap is ok but love the hesalite crystal! it just scratches very easily but can be buffed/sanded out with some high grit emory cloth and some polishing compound. Looks killer with my artem sailcloth strap.”
