The MIL-SHIPS-W-2181, brand new in the archive series, is based on a prototype that never made it to the market, so watch enthusiasts have the opportunity to own this luxury timepiece for the first time in 2021.

Inspired by a timepiece developed for the U.S. Navy, this sports watch features a unique paper strip on the dial that indicates if moisture has entered the watch and changes color when the water resistance, up to 200 meters, is compromised. Another distinctive feature of this watch is that the top bezel only rotates when pressed. The matte black dial is set in a stainless steel case, and the navy blue NATO strap is made from finely woven nylon material designed to withstand constant contact with water. This unique watch is versatile enough for everyday wear but has the features to compete with any other sports watch on the market.
