DIVER-1 Mission Timer® Lithium-Ion Quartz

$749.00
Built by Hand. Backed for Life.
Your Mission Timer isn’t pulled from a shelf — it’s built from scratch, by hand, by a team of five American artisans in our small-batch workshop.
We machine every steel case, assemble every movement, and test every component in-house. Nothing is overlooked. Nothing is rushed.
How It Works
If your model is in stock, we’ll ship it immediately.
If not, you’re looking at a 1–2 week build window. That’s how long it takes to craft, test, and ship your Mission Timer — start to finish — without cutting corners. We believe you deserve the attention to detail of 1 watchmaker, 1 watch.
Your watchmaker assembles your piece personally, from case prep to final seal.
Why We Do It This Way
We don’t mass-produce inventory that sits on shelves.
Instead, we manufacture in limited runs — purpose-built, mission-ready pieces that reflect our values: precision, durability, and American grit.
Secure Your Spot
When you order, you’re locking in a build slot in our next batch. You’ll receive email updates throughout the process — from machining to assembly to shipping.
We build them in order. We stand behind them for life.
