I like that alot.
Clean design. Looks like a proper tool watch.
There's something to be said for matte finish on a dial when it comes to legibility.
Contrasting seconds hand is nice.
Solar & titanium for $350ish is certainly well within reason.
Hope they sell a bunch.
I dig that strap. Is that something specifically made for the watch or available elsewhere as well? Sweet lugs on the case too. Haven't seen that done before.

It’s a factory strap for the watch but I’m sure they have similar ones out there
Yeah, I'm sure I can find one, was just hoping for a lead. Nice choice for the watch.
I’m going to be honest, again - I don’t like it.
Bezel - ok, but it’s a 12 hour, it would be hard to mess that up as well.
Inner ring - again, no, it’s tacky. I don’t think it’s particularly profound, plus it essentially adds noise to the overall aesthetic. If you want it on the there, fine, but maybe on the caseback.
Raised markers are better than the other model, I appreciate that. Dial is boring but has better relief than previous.
I still despise the handset. Sorry. Even the red seconds hand, I don’t like it. The width makes them stubby, and they look comical. They are also too short, it is not right.
Date window is not good. Credit for sticking to their guns but even watches of much higher value with similar dials get this wrong. A frame might help here, but hour hand slightly obscures placement and it’s not massively visible the rest of the time so why bother?
Dial, still seems busy although there is nothing on it - it’s not comfortable to read.
Black/black date not great, blue dial contrast with text is poor, white dial is the most legible.
I don’t like the brand text/font on the watch.
I don’t like the model name.

Thanks, Dallen. We had those straps custom made and will have olive khaki and black for sale on venturian.co soon. They are a four ring (stainless) horween leather so they will take a slight patina over time. Slightly water resistant due to some wax like properties. LMK if you are interested in learning more and/or purchasing one. I can send you some more detailed shots, too!
