 Apparently this watch is somewhat new. I couldn't get it from my regular sources. I got this one on ebay. It comes in three flavors - all black dial, black dial with white second area, and a cool white/beige dial with blue hands and indicies. I elected to go with the all black dial because I love glow in the dark dials and the all black has superlumn on the hands and dial indicies.

The case size is 44mm or 45mm depending on who's listing the specs. It looks smaller than my Pilot Aviator, but I placed it on top of it and it covered it up. :) I think the bevel on the bezel accounts for the smaller size impression.

It is one chunky, manly watch. That's for sure. I flat out love it. Its awesome. It glows in the dark well, but not super great. A good charge lasts for about 2-3 hours. The hands fade first, but the dial is still good past 3 hours.

Fit and finish is excellent. I got both the solid and the peek-a-boo case back. It came with the solid back installed. Side pics are from vendors. The strap is really nice. Only problem for me is that it is a little short. So, I took it off and installed an Invicta Lorica 24mm until I get a Hirsch Liberty 24mm that I ordered last nite (at 2:45am Ken) from The Watch Prince.

Brushed stainless steel case. 17 jewels, 3105 precision movement, serial number on back, luminescent hands and indexes for night visibility, comes with leather strap (24mm) and manual.
