The timing of the watch’s release has been coordinated timing with that of Land Rover’s new 2020 Defender? an all-terrain SUV series first showcased in 1948 and making its return to the U.S. market after having been discontinued in 1997.

Using a 44-mm microblasted and faceted titanium case, the dark watch gives off a rugged appearance, with the sportiness of the model boosted by its stylish chronograph pushers and orange-accented crown. The slate gray, velvet-finish dial of the watch matches the case, and features a 1/100th second chronograph counter on its outer edges, a printed white minute ring just within it, and three subdials for running seconds, a 60-seconds counter, and a 30-minute counter at the 9, 6, and 3 o?clock positions, respectively.
