Smith & Wesson Calibrator White Dial Tactical Watch

The Smith and Wesson Calibrator Watch has a 51 by 15mm face with white numerals and hands, a black rubber strap with white stitching, Japanese movement and 5ATM water resistance.

Fifty-one millimeters across is a large watch by any measure, and the white-on-black dial is what keeps a face that size legible rather than busy. Large numerals need a plain background to work. At 15mm thick it sits high on the wrist, so it suits a jacket cuff rather than a shirt sleeve.

A stainless case back rather than a plated one resists the corrosion that sweat causes over years against skin. The Japanese quartz movement runs a second hand and date, and 5ATM covers swimming and washing rather than diving. Explore more watches.
