Engraved Rehaut
Featuring the Class of 1976 mottos, "Spirit of '76" and "1776 TRIDENS 1976," the rehaut engraving transforms your timepiece into a daily moral compass. This inner ring ensures that the values defining your legacy are physically present to guide every second of your journey.
The Crown
The screw-down crown features the iconic Charging Goat logo and is as elegant as it is functional, acting as the primary seal to ensure professional-grade water resistance of up to 300 meters. This engineering translates to extreme durability, protecting the movement from the elements in any scenario.
The Movement
At the heart of your ARGOS beats the Elabore Grade Sellita SW200, a Swiss-made movement celebrated for its uncompromising reliability and precision. A highly decorated engine visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, this self-winding movement harnesses your daily kinetic energy, powering the watch with the very motto of the Academy.
Next Level Personalization
In addition to the custom rotor with the N* logo, we offer custom engraving on the disc under the back sapphire crystal. With room for 80 characters, and protection from the elements, the custom engraving will make this timepiece truly one-of-a-kind.
Elegance Meets Versatility
Seamlessly blending heritage with utility, the custom-engraved buckle features the Naval Academy Crest, doing more than just securing the watch to your wrist. Featuring a micro-adjusting clasp and tool-free quick release pushers, it offers immediate versatility, ensuring a perfect fit, every time.
