Description
An aggressive, oversized sports watch designed for visual impact. It blends the legibility of large analog hands with the practical functionality of a digital chronogram. The brown and silver color scheme provides a unique alternative to typical black tactical watches, though the construction favors style and weight over professional tool-watch durability.
Key Features
Oversized 'Army' style case, Ana-Digi dual time display, high-contrast '1' and '7' dial markers, and multi-functional digital modules including backlight and alarm.
Dial Description
Brown textured dial with dual analog hands and three integrated digital LCD windows. Large '1' and '7' Arabic numeral indices combined with chunky block markers. Features time, date, day, and stopwatch functions.
Case Material
Base metal/Zinc Alloy with Silver-tone and Brown PVD plating. The finish is a mix of high-polish on the lugs and matte plating on the bezel.
Crystal Type
Flat Hardened Mineral Glass; shows minor surface scratches and grease smudging.
Bezel Details
Fixed non-rotating bezel with a Tachymeter scale printed in white on a brown PVD-coated surface.
Crown & Pushers
Large knurled main crown for analog adjustment flanked by four function push-buttons (Start/Stop/Reset/Light/Mode) for the digital module. Integrated crown guards.
Bracelet or Strap
Three-link Oyster-style integrated bracelet; Zinc Alloy/Steel. Features a dual-tone finish with silver outer links and brown PVD-coated center links. Fold-over safety clasp.
Caseback Details
Snap-on or screw-down stainless steel caseback. Usually laser-etched with Naviforce logo, model number, and 'Water Resistant 3ATM' text.
Movement Type
Japanese Quartz Dual-Movement (typically Seiko/Epson or Miyota modules), battery powered (SR927W or similar), featuring separate circuits for analog hands and digital LCD windows.
Water Resistance
3ATM (30 Meters). In practice, this means splash resistant only. Not suitable for swimming, showering, or immersion, as the pusher seals are not designed for pressure.
Origin & Provenance
China (Guangzhou). Utilizes outsourced Japanese quartz movements for reliability while manufacturing the case and assembly in-house.
Age Estimate
Circa 2016-2022. This design represents the core aesthetic of Chinese e-commerce budget brands from the mid-to-late 2010s.
Cultural Significance
Represents the rise of the 'Ultra-Affordable' watch segment that utilizes reliable Japanese quartz movements to offer high-complication looks at a fraction of the price of luxury brands like Casio G-Shock or Citizen.
Condition Notes
Fair to Good. Visible plating wear on the bracelet center links and bezel edges. Minor scratches on the mineral crystal. Smudging on the dial glass. Lume performance is likely negligible at this stage.
Value Estimate
$15 - $35 USD. Value is strictly utilitarian; these watches do not appreciate and are typically sold as fashion accessories on secondary auction sites like Aukro.
Care & Maintenance
Avoid all water contact despite '3ATM' rating. Clean with a soft cloth to prevent PVD plating from rubbing off. Replace batteries every 2-3 years; note that it may require two different battery sizes for analog and digital functions.
