My Relic Sawyer Wristwatch looks like something issued by the Navy. It's sleek, grey, and purposeful -- like a battleship. The numerals on the bezel are darkened and the face is grey with white baton markers at hourly intervals. They seem purposeful and warlike. Even the sub-dials look like nautical instruments. This Relic watch looks so much like something off of a battleship that I recently took it to a battleship. I stopped by the U.S.S. North Carolina in Wilmington, North Carolina, over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Battleship itself is moored just across the Cape Fear River from Wilmington, North Carolina. It's a lot of fun to find and view on google maps.

While the Relic Sawyer isn't any kind of official Navy watch, it sure looks like it could be. However, it's far more affordable than any kind of mil-spec hardware that's designed for extreme conditions.

Of course, when you strap on this watch, you can't listen to some namby-pamby, snooty public radio, symphony. You have to listen to something truly awesome. I recommend the Victory at Sea Soundtrack.
Plus, if you are going to wear a watch that looks like it belongs on a battleship, you should learn something about battleships and there is no better starting point than the best documentary series ever made:
