The Combat Vintage Blackout Bi-Tone flaunts a 42mm stainless steel black PVD case which lavishes this watch with a sleek sporty look. With a height of 10.6mm, a short lug to lug length of 49.5mm and downward curving lugs, this watch rests handsomely on most wrist sizes.
Powered by a GL224 Swiss automatic movement based on either the ETA 2824-2 or SW200-1 which operates at 28,800 bph (4 Hertz) with hacking and hand winding capabilities, the Combat Vintage Blackout Bi-Tone is built with 25 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours.

Finished with a full satin-brush, this watch sports a unidirectional rotating bezel with a gilt-tone aluminium insert and a screw-down crown at 3 o’clock which works more smoothly due to a larger screw tube used. This signed bronze crown and its steel screwed case back engraved with essential information that characterises this timepiece are responsible for the Combat Vintage Blackout Bi-Tone’s impressive water resistance of 200m.
Admire its matte black dial complemented by a shiny blue bezel for the first time. The black overall and blue bezel combination which is where the “Bi-Tone” in its name comes from. This grain-textured dial is also fitted with a red date window at 4 o’clock, matching the "SUB 20 ATM" text as well as the bezel’s triangle pip beautifully. Furthermore, its rose gold signature diver handset, Arabic dial indexes and pip located at 12 o’clock are painted with light radium brown Super-LumiNova which glows green in the dark.
